Also weak to Light damage. Also has a 3rd attack, the ‘rear head back, generate green blade, and slash forwards’ attack. If you want to defeat this boss before the intended time, I highly recommend either abusing Burn or Counters. I defeated this just after getting Sciel by starting with a solo team (easier for me to counter that way) and using a 3-person team to spam Burn.
