[JP] DFFOO: Blood for the Blood Lily #26 (Edgar Intertwined Will Lufenia+ ft. Strago c90)
The old man is back and pumping out higher damage numbers than before! Strago’s c90 gave him more brv damage up, hp dmg up, a bunch more dumps on his EX skill, and a free skill use after using his EX! Very excited to be using him more.
These bosses are relatively simple. They can hit decently hard without mitigation and can inflict annoying debuffs such as Blind on your party frequently. The reductions aren’t that strong in this fight, but the bosses have pretty high defense so Def-ignoring attacks and Def Down debuffs can help a lot in decreasing their bulk.
The orb skill isn’t lethal. Upon detonation, they will do an AoE Brv + HP Attack that will also delete your party’s turn. It’s not a guaranteed hit, so you can use dodge characters. Gladio was absolutely perfect here to take advantage of the delete and to spam his LD Counter with Ysh’s BT+ effect active.
If you do 5 consecutive turns with the same character, then the bosses will gain a blue aura and do a bravery freeze field effect on your party for 3 turns.
[Increase Condition] Count increases by 1 when count target is afflicted with at least 3 weaknesses (melee/ranged/magic only) (Max: 15)
[Increase Condition] Count increases by 1 when dealing Def-ignoring Damage
