Metaphor: ReFantazio - Final Boss Phase 2 Full Power - Regicide Difficulty

[@enbilly]

it's really cool how differently anyone can tackle the game I played on hard difficulty, but my main strategy was having junah buff/debuff constantly on warmaster and hoping I get dodges (also had the fire null equipment from the trial dragons), then having strohl apply light weakness on messiah and basilio apply blunt weakness on destroyer (+ charge) to maximize my damage and turn icons (i equipped them with the items that reduce the turn cost of synthesis skills) i also had hulkenberg pop in occasionaly to tank damage, which was so clutch, and eupha helped a bit at the end when strohl was out of MP honestly, this was a really cool boss, i just hated having to do phase 1 all over again if i died, which made it less enjoyable and I basically did the whole thing in the backline because of it

also, i didnt even unlock the royal archetype for anyone because i assumed it was more of a ng+ thing lol

[@globersko1671]

heismays douge from royal thief after getting it to master is broken, many times it saved me against his final form. I even forgot to give him Unwavering Blade so he be douging like crazy.

I 100% agree with you. He ended up on my party all the way through the game too. Plus it helps that I really enjoyed his story too

@@LaughingSalad I remember that at some point i was like I need to get everyone instant recovery

This fight took me 2,5 hours with maxed royal archetypes 😂

[@LaughingSalad]

It’s a tough one! I hope it was satisfying to finally beat!

[@cmdrray7210]

is this fight even possible without heismays dodge cheese? on regicide

[@LaughingSalad]

I think it is but haven’t personally tried it, it was the only way I found to deal with the number of turns effectively. There seems to be some strategies for one turn kills of some of the hardest bosses so it’s more than likely possible to do so for this as well

[@roguenoise2718]

Everyone can become dodge cheese with certain equipment with certain setups, so can win even without heismays on normal difficulty but this final boss is deadly because of many action attack so either reduce enemy action point or increase own point with faker or joker skill

[@TheJaredPunch]

Talk about playing the long game.

[@MrYuritaku]

Just use 1 almighty synthesis skill from princes with max buff n debuff, u can 1 hit the boss 👍. (Genocide)

[@LaughingSalad]

I might try this out next time I fight him, thanks!
