Planning a boss battle

In boss battles, damage and durability vary greatly depending on whom you Confine into which object. Choose objects suited to attackers and support characters, then concentrate damage before REMOVE forces them out. After removal, deploy reserves in sequence to keep your offensive going.

  • ▸ Choose phantoms and objects to suit the boss's weaknesses and behavior
  • ▸ Keep REMOVE in mind and concentrate damage before removal
  • ▸ Replace removed units by using Confine to deploy reserves in sequence
Positioning, lifting, and throwing

Use grid-free movement to attack from outside a boss's attack range, or lift and throw allies to send them quickly to the front. If you are losing the damage contest, developing and fusing at the base before trying again makes the fight more manageable.

  • ▸ Assess the boss's attack range and attack from outside its circle
  • ▸ Use lifting and throwing to deploy to the front or withdraw quickly
  • ▸ If you cannot win, improve your force through development and title fusion before trying again
