How to Beat Chromatic Moissonneuse

Exploit Fire and Dark Weaknesses

Chromatic Moissonneuse Fire Weakness
This boss is weak to Fire and Dark attacks, therefore, characters such as Maelle and Sciel and their elemental attacks are able to deal more damage to the boss. Applying Burn stacks on the boss will also help it go down quicker.

The boss has resistance to Ice attacks, so avoid using Ice-connected weapons and skills when dealing with the Chromatic Moissonneuse.

All Status Effects Guide

Stunning and Delaying

Chromatic Moissonneuse Stunlock
This boss can be delayed by using moves that apply Stun on the target or by Breaking their defense by filling the yellow bar below the target's HP meter, then using a move such as Perfect Break to disable the target.

This will help delay the boss from buffing itself and also allow the player more moves to strike back or prepare for a strong attack.
