Tales of Eternia - Farah Solo #16 - Rem
9One of the harder ones in awhile.
Rem herself isn't really all that difficult. Her spells are easy to dodge, except for Ray, which still isn't too bad, and her regular attacks are easy to avoid as well. She has an annoyingly high evade stat, but it's not a huge deal.
The problems set in when the floating ball is in play. That ball is a constant hitbox that just loves to get in the way at all times. Plus Rem can call it and send it at her will, and a lot of times that can end up trapping you in place, especially when she decides to send/call it multiple times in a row.
When Rem loses about half her health, then things start to get worse. She'll be able to use a new move; Holy Lance, which is a powerful spell that basically casts instantly. It's not hard to dodge by any means, but the problem arises when you realize that Rem recovers almost instantly and likes to interrupt your dodge attempt with moving the ball around or some other attacks. Or just cast Holy Lance again and stall the fight. Not only that, she's invincible before casting it, making it very hard to interrupt. You can really only interrupt it by attacking from behind, but not only is that hard when she's so high up in the air, but she can also fake you out by dropping knives (?) straight down, hitting you out of your jump.
Did I mention she's constantly recovering her health gradually? Nyeeeeeeeeeeh
My general strategy was to first get her away from the ball ASAP. Without the ball she can't do much. After that, I tried to keep as much pressure on her as possible, while giving her a little room to breathe so the video isn't as one-sided. After the half health mark I switch up my strategy from pressure to explosive damage, throwing on a Warrior's Symbol for the extra 10% Attack and throwing in a couple of Maximum Bursts for good measure. I wanted her to be in her second phase for as short amount of time as possible, or else she'd recover a substantial amount of health just by stalling with Holy Lance.
This took a loooooot of practice runs. But it's finally over.
