How to Fight Deichgraf with Any 2 Teams Pt. 2 || Boss Fight || Girls Frontline 2: Exilium

Some missing additional info: The buffs the goliaths give when you kill them directly in phase 1 now applies to phase 2 instead of the active team in phase 1 so having characters with large AoE in your team for phase 1 (i.e. Lotta) or characters that are good at one shotting mobs or extra commands/actions is a consideration you can make. For T7 specifically; The pool of objectives for the arena has 3 more options: race the enemy to evac, kill spiders, heal ally inside (the heal can come from outside the arena). I would still recommend Vanguards to be your runner just because they're still capable of clearing the arena in as few turns as possible and allow them to contribute dps to the boss sooner.

Tip: killing bombs grants a stackable armor buff (5% dmg/def) for 2nd fight. Depending on your team setup, giving up on 1st boss kill in favour of collecting buffs could be a viable option. Place Suomi in 2nd fight for more aggressive dps race to take advantage of the buff.

Ahhh, that's what the "buffs for subsequent phases" were for. I wasn't really sure since the Goliath's skills didn't really mention anything when I checked, or I might've missed a change in their text or something. Killing phase 1 on tier 6 for example gives 25792 points exactly so you would need 31,208 points for phase 2 to reach outstanding. I think that would fall on team dependent optimizations. There are definitely a few characters you could bring with good aoe that can guarantee killing the goliath *and* damaging the boss constantly to max out on 15% dmg and def while also killing phase 1.

Thank you for the guide. I am afraid to push tier due to i afraid enemy got above lv 50 but shit makes it way harder than that. *making another viable team

I mentioned this in part 1 as well, but don't be afraid to tier up! The rewards on the lowest rating in the next tier are higher than the highest rating on current tier.

This is so helpful. Is it better to stay on lower tier if I'm not sure if I can fully clear the fight?

I mentioned this in part 1, but always tier up if you can! The rewards on the lowest rating of the next tier are still better than the rewards on the highest rating of your current tier!
