Fatal Temptation

Trigger: Apply 10 stacks on any tile.

Trigger this skill at the start of battle, then repeatedly attack the head tile for the rest of the fight to stack vulnerability.

In order to maximize damage, you need to remove the barrier buff later with either Rafina or Scheherazade.

Death☆Punch

Both S1 and S2 are generic damage abilities from the Fiend. Nothing to worry about if you have DEF gear.

Rampage Blow

Creepy Bubble

This skill is confusing, since the fiend will be using its instakill ability after this turn. Treat it as a non-turn for the fiend.

Merry Bad Ending

A team wipe! Your next team then takes the stage as the Fiend loops back to S1 and refreshes its conditional skill.

Hunting the Fiend

C1 → S1 → S2 → S3 → S4

Simply trigger C1 at the start of battle, then work towards stacking vulnerability on the Fiend by repeatedly attacking the head tile.

Rafina and Schera can both remove the barrier buff on the Fiend, HOWEVER, Schera will also remove the "Wrath" buff that allows the Fiend to receive vulnerability stacks. Make sure to max out the vulnerability stacks (50) before dispelling with Schera, since the fiend will not be able to receive more stacks after being dispelled. If you're using Rafina, then there should be no problem.

Hikage and Luvencia are both amazing chain stackers. If you're at level 6+, you may want to dedicate your first team to stacking vulnerability on the Fiend (and dispelling its barrier), then swap over to your second team to deal damage.

DPS Review

Wilhelmina (×6 AoE) — This fiend hunt was made for her, as Wilhelmina can easily get vulnerability stacks on the Fiend. Her single target damage output is also insane.

Yumi (×8 AoE) — Yumi shouldn't be terrible for this Hunt, since she can go up to 20 DoT stacks (and vulnerability stacks) on this Fiend.

Sylvia (×7 AoE) — Sylvia won't be able to utilize her counters effectively sadly, making her DMG uptime pretty bad.

Morpeah (×6/8 AoE) — Morpeah's personas will be difficult to utilize, as there are limited slots in the middle column to stack vulnerability on the Fiend's head.

Scheherazade (×8 AoE) — Schera can dispel the Fiend's barrier, and her damage output is decent.

Roxy (×11 AoE) — Despite Roxy's tile coverage, she will be struggling this Fiend hunt due to her 50% DMG uptime, as well as below average DMG output.
