How to Beat Glissando

Avoid Getting Enchanted

Tisseur Anti-Charm Loot

The Glissando has an attack that inflicts Charm on its target, which will cause the affected party member to lose control and attack the team instead of the enemy.

This is a particularly debilitating status effect, so prevent it by using the Anti-Charm Picto and Lumina dropped by the Tisseur to make this fight easier.

Anti-Charm Lumina Effects

Don't Let the Fight Go Long

Glissando Gobble Attack

It is also recommended to finish the fight as quickly as possible, since the Glissando can gobble up a party member and remove them from the fight, further reducing your options in battle.

However, you can force the Glissando to expel the affected party member by breaking it and stunning the boss.

How to Break Enemies

Use Ice and Dark Attacks

Glissando Dark Weakness

Lastly, use the Glissando's weakness against Ice and Dark to your advantage. Characters like Lune and Sciel will excel due to their specializations in these elements, and can make quick work of the boss.

Tail Slam

Glissando uses its tail to slam its target, swiping at the whole party 3 times. Each attack has a short windup, so dodge as soon as you see it move after winding up.
