0:00 Boss Mechanics explained

What to watch out for?

1. Regardless of Boss Afflatus, Boss deal afflatus bonus damage against Natural (Beast, Plant, Star, Mineral) and additional 50% dmg. Nature units also increase Boss HP by 25% per unit. On our side, Primal (Spirit/Intellect) deals afflatus advantage.

Strategy: Don't bring Natural Afflatus Units, they easily get one shot by the Boss. Bring on Primal, although Primal don't have sustain units but don't worry as the fight provides healing.

2. Out units will be inflicted by [Flinch] reducing our dmg reduction (means we take more dmg) per stack (1%) and Boss gain [Unsparing], hence Boss becomes really strong if the fight is prolonged and Boss is able to one shot even Primal Afflatus unit at the end.

Strategy: Don't waste turns and constantly heal, even if one of your unit dies, since it's at the end, push on and try to defeat the Boss. [Flinch] is inflicted by random, so sometimes due to bad RNG, all the [Flinch] will be stacked on one unit causing them to die.

3. Dynamo Robot and First Aid Crate. There is two minions that doesn't Atk. Dynamo Robot start with 10 stacks of [Dynamo] and will give the Boss the [Dynamo]s at the end of round, if Boss has 30 Dynamos, Boss will Atk with Ulti.

Strategy: Every round, one of our units will be buffed with [Electric Coil], identify who that is and use that unit to atk Dynamo Robot. Each attack will steal 5 [Dynamo]s from Dynamo Robot. You don't need to steal [Dynamo] if you can outright just kill Dynamo Robot.

4. First Aid Crate heal us 2000 HP when it is attacked with the unit that has [Infusion Tube] buff. If you can kill the Crate, it will also heal for 50% of max HP.

Strategy: So if our HP is low, identify the unit with [Infusion Tube] and attack the crate.

5. Boss has thresholds, at 70%, 50%, and 30% HP. It will Atk with it's Ultimate.

Strategy 5.1: Boss rotates from buff, Atk, buff, Atk until it's Ult is ready. Try to cross the thresholds when the Boss is going to use [Buff]. This is to prevent us from getting attack twice in a row. If Boss is going to use Ult, please don't cross the thresholds.

Strategy 5.2: Another way to cross the thresholds safely is by using Crowd Control. Boss doesn't have immunity and only resistance, disabled it when crossing the threshold will prevent it from using it's Ult. Also if Boss is in Crowd Control, and accumulate 30 [Dynamo]s, the [Dynamo] will be wasted as Boss will not trigger Ult.

6. The buff skill grants the Boss a shield, when the shield is removed, Boss receive 50% more dmg.

Strategy: Take this opportunity to atk the Boss but if you find it difficult to break the shield, then just wait one round as the shield only lasts for a round.

Recommendation:
Myth Manifest: At the moment, there is no specific Myth Manifest for Primal but will come in a few days time.

So I recommend Operatic as that Myth Manifest can grant moxie and heal allowing us to have easier rotation and heal after Boss Ult when cross thresholds. Also the other Myth is better for the other stages.

Character Recommendation

Lucy is the best option we have now as killing the crate and robot will trigger Lucy's FUA as well. Just be careful not to overdo on damage crossing multiple thresholds.

6 ST Ult is also very good to Dmg the Boss.

Isolde FUA at the start of round is good to Dmg the crate and robot without spending AP

White Rum, in channel status does 1 mass Atk against ALL enemies which is good to destroy the Robot and Crate. White Rum Ult can Daze the Boss preventing it from using Ult.

Anjo (link to Primal) + Voyager, this team can cheese the fight. Voyager Ult reduces moxie preventing Boss from using Ultimate. Together with Anjo's Captivate, Voyager Seal/Silence, and add in White Rum's Daze, we can prevent the Boss from acting.

Team 1: Lucy

P2 Lucy, P4 6, P0 Isolde, P0 Mercuria

   • No Healer? Abyssal 400m-3 - Reverse 1999  

Focus on Lucy, check who has Electric Coil and Infusing Tube and spend AP just enough to remove [Dynamo] and heal the team to max HP, if all is fulfilled or if the minions are dead, then focus on attacking the Boss. Possibly can swap one of the 3 (6/Isolde/Mercuria) to White Rum for Daze.

P2 Anjo, P5 White Rum, P4 6, P0 Isolde. Operatic (Right-Most Two Nodes)

Is compulsory to cancel Boss Ult at the beginning. Then take turns disabling it. Please watch the Gameplay Demonstration for Anjo for details.
