Synthesize a Monster with Omniheal

Keep HP Above 400 to Avoid Grim Breath

Randolfo the Tyrant deals nearly 400 damage to all enemies with Grim Breath. To offset this, bring Monsters that can use Omniheal to recover HP for your party.

Omniheal has a high MP consumption of 80, it is recommended to use it on Monsters that have MP recovery Traits like Auto-Cadabra to help offset the MP that the skill will consume.

Examples of Monsters That Can Learn Omniheal

Monsters with Omniheal
Flutter Slime	King Cureslime	Slime Snack

Avoid Using Buffs and Utilize Bedazzlement

Buffs from skills like Brake Wind and Bounce will be nullified by Disruptive Wave, so try not to rely on any buffs applied on your party. Instead, try to use Bedazzlement from skills like Sandy Sigh or Dazzle to reduce the physical damage Randolfo will deal.

AoE Healing and Bedazzlement Are Recommended

Randolfo's 2nd Form Deals More Damage

Like the fight with the 1st Form, AoE Healing and Bedazzlement are still recommended, so the strategy largely remains the same. However, in his second form, the damage of all of Randolfo's attacks have increased.

He also utilizes a powerful skill that inflicts Poison status which deals 90 damage over time each turn, so it is recommended to keep your HP very high in this phase.

Use Items to Cleanse Status Effects

If you are inflicted with either Poison or Sleep, use cleansing items like Antidotal Herb and Panacea to cure it. In his second form, Randolfo uses various debuffs like Poison, Sleep, and other status effect changes.

Panacea can cure multiple status effect conditions simultaneously and can also cure the debuffs inflicted by Wave of Panic.
