How to Beat The Tinpot Dictator
Use Buff on Focused Ally
The Tinpot Dictator has a Skill where he orders the Automatons to focus one ally. Once the skill is active, make sure to cast Buff on the focused ally to maximize their survival.
If Kiefer is the designated target, try to avoid using his Let Loose, since it lowers his Defense to raise Attack.
Use Multi-Target Skills
After the Tinpot Dictator summons the Automatons to his side, use Multi-Target Skills to deal damage to all of the enemies.
This allows you to eliminate the Automatons quickly, while also chipping away at the Tinpot Dictator's HP.
Conserve HP and MP
Since the boss fight occurs with three separate phases, try to conserve as much HP and MP as possible.
Use Hero to consume Items during his turn to make the most out of your other Allies' turns, while also maintaining enough HP and MP for the succeeding battles.
