How to Beat Chromatic Greatsword Cultist

Have Shield Removal or Ignoring Skills

Chromatic Greatsword Cultist Shielded

The Chromatic Greatsword Cultist will constantly apply shields to herself over the fight, negating several attacks before you can actually reach her HP bar.

To counteract this, remove them with abilities like Maelle's Breaking Rules, or ignore them with skills like Monoco's Chevaliere Piercing.

Use Dark Element Attacks

Chromatic Greatsword Cultist Dark Weakness

Once you're able to damage her HP bar, use her weakness to the Dark Element to quickly burst her down before her shields come back up. Sciel is excellent for this as she specializes in the Dark Element with her skills.
