You should know by now that most bosses in any video game will have a specific move set that changes every now and then depending on how much health it has.
Lower that health bar to a certain point and it’ll start switching things around or even pull out entirely new moves to keep you on your toes.
Other things to be made aware of for this specific boss are its strengths and weaknesses in various elements.
What you need to look out for during this fight is his attack called Earth Trample. It doesn’t really have much of an AOE effect since it only hits one of you, but it can inflict SPD down, making your turns last a lifetime.
Once the boss is lit ablaze and starts floating, you should start worrying about how to break and prevent his break gauge from filling up before you and your team gets wiped out.
If you can’t do that then the next best thing is to make sure that you’re all healed up so you can survive the brunt of the attack.
Don’t expect your physical attacks to do much damage, make good use of Klaudia to deal as much magic damage as you can, of course, Tao and Ryza herself can still contribute greatly to your efforts.
You’d be surprised to put the thing down before he even finishes charging up so get in there and fight it yourself!
