Strategy / Notes
Because of the boss’ Trait, make sure you keep your characters loaded on buffs (Angel is incredible for this!). Also, make sure you do NOT use ranged attacks at all, or the boss will retaliate with deadly force! Melee and/or AoE attacks are safe.
He will only use his Thunderbolt skill on Turn 1 (and then never again), so make sure the characters getting hit by it are either immune to [⦸Healing Received], or can quickly get it removed from them, as this attack does a lot of damage, and more attacks are coming.
Starting on Turn 2, the boss will enter a rotation of using his other skills (one per turn) in order: Furious Wallop > Shackles of Fate > Smashing Comet, and then returning to Furious Wallop and repeating ad nauseum.
For Furious Wallop, make sure it’s your tank taking the hit (by being furthest away from the boss). Damage reduction is important, and so is avoiding being close to too many [Potent Comet Debris]. Each one within 5 tiles of a character decreases that character’s P.DEF by 30% and increases the damage received by that character by 20%, and the effect stacks.
For Shackles of Fate, there isn’t too much to worry about initially, as long as you’ve been keeping everyone healed and stacked with buffs. This attack is actually really a problem because it inflicts the two targets with [Voltage Shock], and, at the end of the turn, causes them (and anyone within 8 tiles of them in a cross-shape) to lose 60% of their max HP. This means you need to position your characters in such a way during this turn that no character (or [Potent Comet Debris]!) gets more than once, as it means death, no matter what.
Finally, when the boss prepares Smashing Comet, just make sure you get all of your characters out of the 3x7 death zone, and away from the blast radius of any [Potent Comet Debris]. He will then randomly summon three new [Potent Comet Debris].
Make sure you destroy any [Potent Comet Debris] that’s close to your team before the enemy does, as they detonate if the boss destroys them, causing big damage to anyone nearby.
Use your Tactics to adjust turn order, increase your damage output, and/or provide your team with stat buffs and extra NRG—these really make a huge difference throughout the fight!
