What is the Recommended Level for Renoir (Final Boss)?

Level 70 is Recommended for the Final Boss

After defeating the previous boss, Creation, we recommend not facing the final boss immediately unless your party is at least level 70. At this level, you'll deal decent amounts of damage to Renoir.

If you're under-leveled, try to complete optional areas first or head to Dark Shores to farm EXP from Noire. We also recommend leveling your main weapons to level 33 using the Grandiose Chroma Catalysts that the Noire enemies drop.

Leveling Guide

How to Beat Renoir (Final Boss)

Keep Countering Attacks

Renoir (Final Boss) Counter

Renoir can hit your team hard, especially if you're unprepared. Be sure to counter all attacks by parrying. Most of his moves can be parried, but the only attack pattern you need to watch out for is the slow blade swing, as it requires you to jump instead.

How to Parry and Counter

Remove Renoir's Shield

Renoir (Final Boss) Free Aim

Renoir will summon Visages during the fight to gain a shield. Use your free aim shots to remove the shields. Skills such as Breaking Rules, used by Maelle, also work as a great alternative to remove his shields.

Best Skills for Each Character

Go Offensive on the Second Phase

Renoir (Final Boss) Ending

During the second phase, Renoir will have much lower HP, allowing you to defeat him quickly if you stay on the offensive. He’ll hit harder though and can one-shot anyone on your team, so make sure to still counter or dodge as much as possible to deal more damage.

At low health, Maelle will end the combat herself as part of a cutscene, countering Renoir's final attack to finish the battle.

lv 70 really is not necessary. Lv 50-55 is plenty with lv 19 weapons. On the medium difficulty that is.
