Tactical Tips

  • Same skills as Special Request Stage 12.
  • Only DarkDark units deal full WG damage - non-dark units deal 50% less WG damage.
  • The boss does not take WG damage when your team has 150+ CP. Keep your CP below this threshold.
  • The boss summons Inferior Cores after each attack. Each surviving core increases the boss's fixed damage by 1500.
  • Killing cores remove 15 CP each.
  • At 30% HP, the boss enrages for 3 turns and then uses Cantata dealing lethal damage. Defeat it or break it before Cantata triggers.
  • If the boss enrages within 4 turns of battle start, your team gains 80 CP - this can help trigger chain skills faster.
