How to Beat Time Devourer

Switches Elements Six Times

Time Devourer Element Order
White → Yellow → Red → Green → Blue → Black → White

Fighting the Time Devourer can be one of the trickiest fights since it has a multitude of Elemental attacks and will be jumping from one Element to the next, starting and ending White.

However, it does follow an order so you can expect what will come right after and prepare accordingly.

Prepare High Level Abilities Per Element

Serge Tech Skill

Given that the Time Devourer will be jumping Elements, it goes without saying that this fight can last very long.

You can speed up its Elemental journey by using high-level Trappable Elements and Level 5 to 7 Tech Skills!

Using Field Elements to Your Advantage

You can further the damage of these attacks by casting Field Elements, such as Red Field, Blue Field, Green Field, and Yellow Field to take advantage of the perks of having a maxed out Field Effect.

Allocate Level 6 Traps and Level 5 Black and White Elements

Try to allocate Level 6 elements of every color to your characters. While the other colors are not a priority, we highly recommend getting the Level 5 Free Fall and Holy Light for it's black phase and an Ultra Nova Trap for it's final phase.

Time Devourer Uses a Level 6 Element on Its Last Turn Cycle

On Time Devourer's move cycles, it will use its element barrage set which varies depending on the transition phase's number. After its full cycle, it will launch an attack then use a level 6 element depending on its current element. If it's on its first transition, it will cast Thundastorm, Volcano on 2nd, etc. It will not cast level 6 elements again if it gets another turn after casting its level 6 element and will only proceed to use Omega “current color” during this phase and the next coming phases. Make sure to kill it before it gets another turn to make the fight easier.

Elements Used Varies Per Cycle and Transition Count

Time Devourer Phase Change

After the next transition, it will only cast level 2 elements starting from Red so its spell pool gets reduced by 1 in exchange for stronger elements which is why its Black and White phases are the strongest as it will only cast Free Falls and Holy Lights and Ultra Novas.

Phase 1 Uplift, Fireball, Bushwhacker, Aqua Beam, Gravity Blow, Photon Ray
