How to Beat Chromatic Ballet

Stick to Aimed Attacks

Dark aimed attack exploiting weakness

All three members of the Chromatic Ballet trio are flying enemies, which means they will dodge most of your normal attacks and skills. Use your AP on aimed attacks or setting up party buffs instead of wasting them using damaging skills.

Be sure to also equip Pictos or Luminas that enhances your aimed attacks like Augmented Aim and Marking Shots!

Use Normal Attacks Instead of Skipping Turns

Even if it's very unlikely to hit, you can still try using normal attacks when you run out of AP from shooting! You still gain AP from missed normal attacks and there's still a chance for them to hit and deal damage.

Use Elemental Weapons

Fire Chromatic ballet Ice Light

Aimed attacks use the same element as your weapon and since these are your main source of damage against the Chromatic Ballet, be sure to equip different weapons that match the trio's weakness on your party members so they can exploit the bosses' weakness when shooting.

Equip Anti-Charm

Charmed by Light Chromatic Ballet

One of the most annoying attacks the Chromatic Ballet can use is their "enchanting attack" that inflicts Charm. You lose control of a charmed ally and they will be forced to auto-attack on their turn. They also become vulnerable to other attacks as they can't parry, dodge, or jump.

Before engaging the trio in combat, look for Tisseur in Sirene and defeat it for the Anti-Charm Pictos. Master it to unlock its Lumina and equip it on your entire party to counter the trio's Charm attack.

Chromatic Ballet Attack Patterns

Enchanting Spell

The Light Chromatic Ballet casts a spell that explodes a few times as it approaches its target and inflicts Charm on hit.
How to Dodge Take note of the interval time between the first and second explosions so you can time the dodge on the third.
How to Counter Parry the third explosion.

Fiery Swipe

The Fire Chromatic Ballet swipes its sword from the right side of the party to left.
How to Dodge Jump immediately as the jump flare disappears.
How to Counter Press the parry button after dodging.

Melee Combo

The Fire Chromatic Ballet slashes its target thrice.
How to Dodge The first and second slashes have a slightly longer interval than the second and third. Prepare to dodge almost immediately after the second slash.
How to Counter Parry all three slashes.

Ice Shard

The Ice Chromatic Ballet shoots a single ice shard that inflicts Freeze on hit.
How to Dodge Press the dodge button when you hear the sharp sound signaling its attack.
How to Counter Parry the projectile with the same timing as you would dodge it.

Ice Barrage

The Ice Chromatic Ballet shoots three projectiles at its target.
How to Dodge Two projectiles will be launched consecutively during the enemy's turn followed by a third one after a short delay. Dodge twice at the start of the attack and again after one second.
How to Counter Parry all three projectiles.

The charm attack is by far the easiest to parry, you really dont need to waste picto/lumi slots to nullify an attack that shouldn't be hitting. Make sure you give your party burning shots, the fire damage procs will do a decent chunk of the work for you.
