So it goes without saying, there are major spoilers in the video and below about the secret boss. Don't stick around if you're trying to go in blind.

To preface, I understand some may view the step ahead as it's own turn, making this a 3 turn phase 1 and 2 turn phase 2. All I can say to you is, "that's fair". Just give me this ok?!

For those who want to see the exact build for my characters on this, here you go:

And finally, for those that want to see my 2-man (both phases) fight:

So after posted my previous personal best (I will be deleting it after this so it doesn't come across as a repost) of 2 turns phase 1 and 3 turns phase 2, after seeing a comment and a different setup, I felt compelled to do a little experimenting and get a better kill "time". I'm pretty sure it's possible to 1 turn the first phase as well, but you really need the stars to align with turn orders to make it happen. I attempted for hours to get the "right" turn order for that, but was unlucky, although something that relies that heavily on RNG probably isn't as relevant anyway. Still, I can consistently get 2 turns with this composition on the first phase. Second phase basically always works out.

It's also worth mentioning that someone made a video using Temenos phase 1 for his ability that consumes all SP into a single attack. No matter what I did, I could not replicate their damage (they were dealing about 50kx3 to the souls with them having no debuffs, and 90k on the eye with it broken | my best was 32k on the souls and 60-70k on the eye). Even with higher SP numbers and 910 E attack (unsure if that last 90 would change the damage from 32k per hit to 50k), and everyone, including myself, who asked for the build they have not responded to, so I have no idea what they did. If it is just a matter of having 999 E attack, I'd have to replay the entire game to put more E attack nuts on them, so that ain't happening. Could possibly make 1 turning phase 1 much simpler, although even they haven't managed to pull it off yet. It seems with either strategy though, a 1 turn is possible, but like I mentioned, requires a ton of luck in turn orders.
