Hey all,

I'm so sorry I didn't record attempt #1, I was just trying to do a quick attempt for trying to figure out a good strategy.

So my strategy for this one is:

Get the following character(s):
Soleil or Theo, Alfyn and either Lumis or Hayes.
Any extra 5* you have are greatly appreciated.

This boss has several mechanics, I'll name them here:

1) No regen: The Apprentice casts a skill every turn which removes your skill-based HP regen (accessories work fine!) This guy also buffs both of them with increased E.ATK and E.DEF (his damage is low, like 400 a turn max)
2) Status Effects (Fatal Sentence kills you in 3 turns, Toxic which deals close to 2K damage and paralysis, silence etc.)
3) When below 30% HP the boss will get a permanent E.ATK and E.DEF up buff and will regain 6 shields every turn (probably the most annoying part)

So for the strategy we have a few things we things we keep in mind:

1) Kill the boss first, the apprentice barely deals any damage and killing him first does sound like the better option, but you'll have to manage breaking the boss and killing the add at the same time (if you don't break you will most likely die). The apprentice also takes about 25 turns to kill and the boss also takes about 25 turns, so there isn't really a better option here (the boss might be easier without the add, but the add is also easier without the boss, you're gonna have to get past 25 hard turns is all).

2) If you get fatal sentence, break the boss within 3 turns, you can't cure or get rid of it any other way and it will just kill off your character (no immunity either).

3) The boss is likely to use a AOE attack after his break, be ready with a Soleil front row cure (incase you get Toxic, since you will always act after the boss) or use Theo's ultimate.

4) Breaking the boss is more important than dealing damage, if he does his purple cloud charge thing, use everything you have to break him!

5) Be sure to switch often, since you don't get HP regen.

6) You can use Lumis or Hayes to get a full front row HP recovery incase you get low on HP

7) Incase you lose a character you can use Alfyn to revive them (3 times in the battle).
