Tips

Example Strategy

• Example Team used for clearing with all missions:
  • Sacred Shield Charlotte Phys Evasion, Magic Cover
  • Lotus Mage Fina Healer, Buffer
  • Maritime Strategist Nichol Mitigation, Stat Buff
  • Kryla Breaker
  • Warrior of Light Bartz Chainer
  • Warrior of Light Bartz Chainer

This team used only 4* and below TMR (other than the unit's personal gear). Charlotte covers the magic attack in phase one while Fina keeps re-raise on her. Nichol does mitigations until Charlotte can take over with her LB. Bartz spends a few rounds charging up, then starts chaining.

Once the boss reaches 50% health Charlotte covers the hybrid AoE with evasion, negating all damage.

Kryla tags the boss with a limit as it dies for the final mission.
