While watching Axe's stream of the canto, I figured that since he's not going to solo the boss I might as well try it since it can't be that hard right? First try. Yeah this was easier than running the fight with a full 12 sinner line up. My only strategy revolved around doding the red coins because I still don't know what the boss does, as I didn't bother reading any of the attacks or passives. Proof you don't need to read to beat the game. After uploading this I got recommended other people who already solod the boss....

[@senpyrothewizard8172]

Have you SEEN any of the Rupture "fans" out there that do nothing that complain? Just... play literally anything else, for your own sake. Rupture's only real downside is bad clashing, because honestly they lack _dedicated_ Rupture 000 IDs. Most 000 Rupture IDs feel like generalist IDs with Rupture attached for extra chip damage. Just off the top of my head, K Corp Hong Lu and Seven Outis are more generalist IDs than Rupture, Devyat' Rodion and Cinq Meursault _benefit greatly_ from Rupture but aren't very big inflicters themselves... The only good Rupture 000 in terms of _status_ is Seven Faust. The only other good Rupture _status_ IDs are 00 IDs, which are still GOOD, you can still use them! I called out Rupture doomsayers on a Fang Hunt Hong Lu video and they proved my point by complaining about everything in Rupture IDs down to _HP and Speed ranges._ Way to fight the stereotype, guys... Edit: Misremembered, thought Faust's S2 was Count positive but was only neutral. Misremembered the Weakness Analyzed as more Count.

[@asheramundson7231]

Look. It's a little bit harder than normal but very doable. I just wish the difficulty didn't come from "hehe u have bleed now : )"

[@ch.7785]

​​@@asheramundson7231well you can do that to enemies, why cant enemies do that to you? the only way to make the game hard is to force damage on you, making you actually have to manage your resources carefully. you can manage your bleed here if you actually read lol, most of the bleed comes from killing the mobs and hitting dulcinea, so you can just clash dulcinea as little as possible (only clashing the unbreakables and counters) while managing which mob to kill and when to make the bleed as manageable as possible.

[@slayernano4163]

Once thr boss hits a certain hp threshold she puts a buff on all enemies that apply bleed potency when you hit them.

[@slayernano4163]

So when they do a move that applies bleed count the damage can stack very quickly

[@chiashenglongchia1969]

Tip for those who still struggle: 1. Let the boss boost her allies instead of clashing her. 2. Only clash the boss skills that target your sinners. 3. Kill the boss' Allies first . 4(optional). If you have the zwei Ishmael id , use her block counter to block the boss' attack so you won't get bleed.

[@chiashenglongchia1969]

5. Spam fluid sack. If you don't have fluid sack , just use a support Faust that have fluid sack ( recommend picking Regret Faust)

Ngl she isn't even hard if you just read but isn't seems most of the PM fanbase has to be told what text says instead of reading, so: Clash her envy skill first, have sinners with dodge or active shield deal with her pride skill, stop the buffs, win.
