Slow and safe run. I tried getting in extra damage bonuses using a Bloody Orb with a dead party but then my blade switches weren't fast enough for the blade switch multiplier to be viable so it's safer this way. There are other approaches I could have taken but they're kind of boring.

Anyway this boss is immune to break so no driver combo spam and certainly no cheap break/toppling it into oblivion! You can do blade combos but it does enjoy its reflect after one of those, slightly interesting so I really wanted to use something other than a Rex+Mythra team for this encounter.

METHOD:

Have lots of agility! With enough of it you'll dodge most everything. Theory and Aegeon/Finch with Pentagon chips should be the supporting blades for their evasion. Kasandra was an oversight here, I forgot to switch Finch back in. I could get even more evasion giving a Pentagon chip to Brighid as well but we kind of want to finish the fight "today".

Phase 1) Get your affinity up with Brighid.

Phase 2) Spam blade switches 20-21 times to capitalise on the World Tree Drop damage boost. Overclocking Bangle allows you to switch blades quickly if you don't use their arts.

Phase 3) Attack the boss conserving LV4 specials and chain attacks for invincibility frames during its nastiest attacks. Evade normal stuff with Judgment. Your high evade is your backup if you make an error. You can actually evade anything with judgement but you might as well give yourself an easier window when you can.

Incidentally I originally had Mòrag with even higher evasion (nearly 700) which pretty much guarantees safety; a nice "grab a drink while you wait" tactic but it was taking an age to take down that way with the sacrificed power.
