How to Beat Painted Love

Dodge and Parry All Attacks

Painted Love Dodge and Parry its Attacks
Most of Painted Love's attacks hit multiple times, with the single hit attacks capable of dealing a lot of damage and applying debuffs. As such, it is important to dodge and parry all attacks to mitigate as much damage as possible.

Bring Clea's Life, Cheater, and Base Shield

Painted Love Bring Clea
If you are not confident with your dodging and parrying, you can opt to bring Clea's Life, Cheater, and Base Shield, which will effectively heal your characters to full every turn. Base Shield serves as a buffer for whenever your characters are suffering from Burn.

Take note, however, that this costs 90 Lumina points, which will reduce the amount of points you can allocate for other Offensive and Support Luminas.
