probably should have posted this last week to maximize views and shit but ah well.

Here you have the first boss battle that is not ambiguous in any sort of way it's just straight up a boss fight and it is dangerous. I'm only playing this on Casual, I gotta record the cutscene and I'm not gonna sit through another 5 minutes just to get wiped immediately, and you still see how close the fight got.

I don't have a real strategy for this fight your best bet is to probably exploit weaknesses and use buffs. Lowering accuracy can be your best friend here because if he misses a single attack his turn will automatically end but his attacks also hit like a truck.

Mermaid probably isn't the best choice for this fight but her damage output and the ability to buff our attack is nice. Originally I was trying to use Tsuchigumo but he didn't have any real way to hit any weaknesses or buff my characters up so I benched him for this fight though his HP was high enough he could tank fairly well.

Oh and I know there's gonna be some galaxy brain strategy to easily kill this boss but this fight was recorded less than 24 hours after the game released so I would not have found it yet.
