Boss Basics: Victory Conditions and Positioning

Start difficult missions and boss battles by checking the victory condition, such as defeating the boss, defending a base, or escorting someone. Initial placement and command timing determine outcomes in real-time combat. Protect healers, hold attacks with frontliners, and concentrate backline damage on the boss.

  • ▸ Check victory conditions and enemy reinforcement locations first
  • ▸ Protect healers in the rear and have frontliners absorb the boss's attacks
  • ▸ Use up to 7 members to concentrate damage on 1 target
Responding Through Ring Reconfiguration

If damage is ineffective or you are overwhelmed, change the Ring Weapon's gems to fit the opponent. Preparing elemental matchups and status countermeasures and strengthening healing and support often makes difficult encounters more reliable.

  • ▸ Reconfigure rings to suit the boss's elements and actions
  • ▸ Prepare resistances and healing for status ailments and party-wide attacks
  • ▸ If the formation collapses, pause and reorganize positions and commands
