THE hardest and most chaotic fight in the entire run, and it’d still be the hardest even if we include postgame content and other optional bosses. Which is kinda funny because it landed in the halfway point of the run, chronologically it happens right in the middle of the Mandatory Gigantos video (which is the next part).
We wanted to do this as late as possible but we would have overleveled by our own rules if we delayed it any longer, especially because it isn’t possible to return to Hyland for a while during Arc 3. But more importantly, we also wanted to use the equipment we prepared!
For those who don’t know, the Shadow Arena is only available during New Game+ and by beating it you can recover the equipment your characters had in your previous playthrough upon completing it. The Shadow characters’ levels and HP are determined by the internal level/quality and enhancement levels of the equipment they had equipped at the time of loading a Clear Save data.
In our case, their stats are as follow:
Shadow Alisha → Lv79 (16.712 HP)
Shadow Rose/Mikleo → Lv82 (17.784 HP)
Shadow Edna/Zaveid/Lailah → Lv84 (18.516 HP)
Shadow Sorey → Lv86 (19.264 HP)
The way this fight works is that all Shadows spawn in waves and they appear at different, specific edges of the battlefield. Their spawn order is like this:
Rose and Alisha appear right away
Mikleo and Edna appear after defeating one enemy
Lailah and Zaveid appear after defeating two enemies in total
Sorey appears after defeating three enemies in total
As you can see, every time we defeat one enemy two more will appear, except for the last wave. Having 4 enemies on screen is a very real, extremely dangerous possibility and basically a death sentence even if managed properly. A single mistake can be fatal.
The rest of the strategy doesn't fit in here so make sure to check the pinned comment down below! The fight might be under 2 minutes but boy do we have a lot to talk about.
