Armor List

Mispolm Boss Strategies

Here is a breakdown of the battle strategies against the boss:

Setup your AI Battle Strategy

Target	Same Enemy
Tactics	Protection is Paramount
Moves	Use moves without MP falling to 50%
Class Strikes	Do not use Class Strikes
Healing Items	Leave at least 5 of each items in stock

Upgrade to Tier 3 Classes Prior Boss Battle

Once you acquire ??? seeds, return to the Sanctuary of Mana and plant them in the magic pot near the gold mana statue. Check if the class change items are the ones you desire. If they are, visit the special mana statue and change to Tier 3 Classes. If not, we suggest holding it for now until you get the class change items you desire since it takes time to acquire class reset items.

Class Change Guide

Cast Buffs

Cast buffs to yourself and your party members carefully while engaging Mispolm. These buffs can be in the form of attack increase (Power Up), defense increase (Protect Up), and magic & magic increase (Mind Up). They can be accessed as innate abilities or consumable items.

Keep Moving and Dodging Attacks

Be on the move at all times to avoid getting hit by Mispolm’s close range moves such as Body Slam and long range moves such as Lucent Beam.

Cast Debuffs

Cast multiple debuffs on Mispolm’s body. Debuffs can be in the form of attack decrease (Power Down), defense decrease (Protect Down), and magic & magic defense decrease (Mind Down). These debuffs can be accessed as innate abilities or consumable items.

Heal and Cure Status Effects

Mispolm has a penchant of immobilizing its enemies with status like sleep and poison. If you don’t have Charlotte in your team, make sure you have Medicine Herbs, Stardust Herbs, or Marmpoto Oils in your stock.

Clear Out All Snapdragons First

While it can be tempting to close in on Mispolm immediately, it has many Snapdragons that can break into a frenzy when left to patrol the field. Among its attacks, Mispolm is troublesome if it gains an opportunity to make use of Barrage Sting. The attack hits for more damage depending on the amount of vines present on the field. We recommend using Wind magic to damage Snapdragons faster.

Target the Body to Stun the Boss

After defeating the snapdragon minions, hit the body of the Mispolm in order to stun it. Then, use your hardest-hitting combos and class strikes against the boss. Then, follow up with another class strike from your other party member.

Break Blue Vases to Replenish CS Gauges

Break all blue vases around the area in order to to fill-up your CS gauges and use Class Strikes again.

Use Elemental and Summon Magic

If you ran out of CS gauges, make use of elemental or summon magic to damage Mispolm. If you have Angela in your party, kite the boss from a distance such as Fire magic. If you ran out of MP, consume a Faerie Walnut or switch to another party member.
