• Increase Party's Defense With Kabuff
• Lower Attack with Attack Attacker
• Cast Fizzle to Prevent Kasap
• Apply the Dazzle Status Ailment
• Equip Rings of Clarity

Increase Party's Defense With Kabuff

The Boss Troll does a lot of physical damage, especially if you're hit by a Desperate Attack. Make sure that you increase your party's defense with Kabuff to minimize the damage of the Boss Troll's attacks.

As a note, the boss also uses Kasap to lower the party's defense and Disrupt to remove a party member's buffs. You'll need to make sure that you counter Kabuff whenever it happens.

Lower Attack with Attack Attacker

If you have a Monster Wrangler, you can use your own Attack Attacker to reduce the Boss Troll's attack. This is better than Kabuff in most situations since they cannot dispel the effect with Disrupt.

Cast Fizzle to Prevent Spell Casts

It can be annoying dealing with the the Boss Troll's Kasap and Fuddle spells. It's highly recommended to cast Fizzle on them to stop the spells from going off, making them waste a turn.

Apply the Dazzle Status Ailment

Another way to easily deal with the Boss Troll is by constantly applying the Dazzle effect, either with the Dazzle spell or the Sandstorm ability. This way, there's a high chance that their attacks will miss, making your defense drops useless.

Equip Rings of Clarity

The Boss Troll can also use Fuddle to confuse party members. To counter this, equip your party with Rings of Clarity purchased from Baharata to prevent them from getting confused in case Fizzle doesn't land.
