Crystal Project: VS Periculum

I thought I had the fight completely under control. Then that Dark Overture into Pain Spreader happened... It's probably because I interrupted the spell before the Dark Overture which sort of messed up the attack pattern that I was accurately predicting before.
Before anyone asks, my Warlock is using the Weaver ultimate armor, which makes it so that physical attacks can't miss, which is priceless for an archer. It also changes his appearance to that of a Weaver.

what is the music for this boss called? i've never get to fight this boss, so i can't see it in the credit.

I got all the way to this boss in the "Post-Game" journey and gave up at this boss. Spirit Cage, Gabriel, and some of the Depth monsters were challenging and fun but had ways to change your party around to counter them. This boss on the other hand is just the worst parts of the poor balance of End-Game content. Couldnt be bothered to spend 20 minutes chipping away at a boss who can insta wipe your team every turn. The damage is way to high to be enjoyable in this game. Still good job on caring enough to beat this boss.

Well, this game gives you the ability to see exactly what the boss will do on their next turn for a reason. It's about countering what a boss will do ahead of time, rather than reacting to whatever happened the previous turn. It requires a different mentality from almost every other turn-based JRPG I've ever played, and I find it rather refreshing. There's a sense of controlling the flow of a battle that's inherent in the endgame fights. I did quite well in this fight until I made the mistake of interrupting a fireblast towards the end, which pushed the boss towards casting a Dark Overture right into a Pain Spreader that I couldn't counter/interrupt. Many of the other theorycrafters on the Discord emphasize burst team setups that can delete most bosses in the first turn, but I place greater emphasis on counter play and optimizing each and every single one of my moves instead.

I just used Zelendes' one shot build... Killed him in 1 turn. Did it kill the fun for me? Maybe. But also, it felt good to put to good use all of those items and LP I'd been farming x)

@@TomGeorgin Ended up just droping it to easy for this guy and Astley 2.0. Glad I did too. Astley 2.0 is as bad if not worse with his banish gimmick.

@@panzergott5622 I don't know why, Astley 2.0 I destroyed him first try with a generic "boss" party that wasn't even tailored for it. It felt super weak in my run...
