Analyze Armageddon's Moveset
| 1 | Thick Fog |
|---|---|
| 2 | Double Slice or Normal Attack (can inflict Paralysis) Becomes Double Slice or Sword Dance if 50% HP and below. |
| 3 | Double Slice or Normal Attack (can inflict Paralysis) Becomes Deflect if 50% HP and below. |
| 4 | Deflect Becomes Helm Splitter if 50% HP and below. |
| 5 | Double Slice or Normal Attack (can inflict Paralysis) Becomes Deflect if 50% HP and below. |
| 6 | Deflect |
| 7 | Helm Splitter Becomes Normal Attack (can inflict Paralysis) if 50% HP and below |
| 8 | Normal Attack (can inflict Paralysis) Becomes Deflect if 50% HP and below. |
| 9 | Cycle back to the first move. |
Carefully observing Armageddon’s attack pattern is key to surviving this fight. Most of its moves are physical attacks, but it also uses Deflect, which bounces your attacks right back at you.
Knowing when this happens lets you plan turns safely and avoid self-inflicted damage.
Equip Full Moon Ring to Avoid Paralysis
Armageddon’s physical attacks can inflict Paralysis, locking you out of turns. Equip the Full Moon Ring before battle to nullify the effect and keep your Hero active.
Equip Spiked Armour to Reflect Physical Attacks
Since all of Armageddon’s attacks are physical, wearing Spiked Armour is a solid counter.
It reflects a portion of the damage back at the enemy, allowing you to chip away at its HP even while receiving damage.
Do Not Attack When Boss Casts Deflect
When Armageddon casts Deflect, stop attacking immediately as any physical damage you deal will bounce back at you.
Use this downtime to charge up with Muster Strength or defend with Defending Champion instead.
The Thick Fog Ability Disables Spell Use
Armageddon’s Thick Fog nullifies all spells temporarily, so your focus should shift to abilities for offense. Since healing spells are disabled, rely on healing items to recover HP.
If you have the Fire Blade equipped, your regular attacks can also trigger extra Sizz damage, giving you a bonus edge.
Use Wild Side + Flame Slash or Undead Undoer
The most effective way to take down Armageddon is with Flame Slash or Undead Undoer, since it’s weak to Fire and counts as an Undead enemy.
Pair either move with Wild Side to attack twice per turn and end the fight much faster.

I beat Knight Aberrant at level 25, you can get Erdrick's Armor and the Ogre Shield way early. Easiest boss in the game, strategy-wise. I didn't even spam cop out like other people do. I normal attacked him to death.
