How to Beat Silverbones

Silverbones Tips and Strategies
Take out his goons immediately Exploit the statues' weaknesses Try to keep an ally alive Use a Dragon Attack to stun Silverbones Take back the Dragonstones

Take Out His Goons Immediately

Focus on taking out Silverbones' goons as soon as the battle starts as they will just make the fight more annoying. You can use a charge of your Dragon Dagger for a Dragon Attack to quickly dispose of them.

Exploit the Statues' Weaknesses

After taking out Silverbones' goons, he will start possessing the statues in the arena. Silverbones will move to a total of three statues, representing the three Sentinels that you have fought before. They will have the same resistances and weaknesses, as well as moveset, but with significantly reduced health.

Statue	Weaknesses
Stone Beast of the Sands	Water Ice
Stone Beast of the Cinders	Water Ice
Stone Beast of the Snows	Fire Earth Explosion

Defeating each statue also damages Silverbones. Take down all three statues to move to the second phase.

Try to Keep an Ally Alive

Try to keep one of your ally monsters alive, preferably your strongest one, as you will need a Dragon Attack to quickly stun Silverbones during the second phase. Use Heal Pellets to heal your ally monster and revive it with your MP if needed.

You can also attempt to revive your other downed allies, but only if you have a lot of MP left. Otherwise, save your MP to heal yourself and to revive your strongest monster if necessary.

Use a Dragon Attack to Stun Silverbones

While you can keep attacking Silverbones as normal until you fully deplete his health, a faster way to defeat him is to stun him repeatedly while taking back the Dragonstones. Keep an eye on Silverbones' attacks until one reveals a stun gauge above his health bar. A message will pop up on the right side of the screen to notify you about this ("This could be your chance to turn the tables!").

Quickly attack Silverbones while his stun gauge is present to stun him. Dragon Attacks can usually destroy this gauge right away so make sure to save your Dagger Gauge charges for these moments.

Take Back the Dragonstones

After stunning Silverbones, rush at him and hold the A button to trigger a unique "pinch". Successfully hitting the mark will take back two Dragonstones. Since there are seven to snatch, you'll have to do this four times.

Taking back all seven Dragonstones is an automatic victory, regardless of how much health Silverbones still has.

Silverbones Attack Patterns

Possess

Silverbones takes control of a statue and inherits its resistances and moveset. Destroying the statue will also damage Silverbones and forces him to transfer to another, until all three statues are destroyed.

Black Blades

Silverbones swings his sword multiple times, dealing Dark-infused Slash damage.

Muzzle Flex

Silverbones uses his musket to shoot bullets in a spread that deal Impact damage.

Kasnooze

Silverbones creates an orb that tracks its target and inflicts Sleep on hit.

Fire and Ice

This attack is usually a follow up to Kasnooze. Silverbones shoots balls of Fire downwards then slashes multiple times with an Ice blade.

Kafrizz

Silverbones creates an orb of Fire that tracks its target.

Kacrack

Silverbones conjures a large iceberg and drops it on its target to deal heavy Ice damage.

Kazam

Silverbones creates an orb of darkness that tracks its target. Upon impact, the orb creates small explosions that deal Dark damage in the area.

Phantom Phalanx

Silverbones summons several phantom swords then sends them flying toward its target to deal Piercing damage.

Cursed Cannon

Silverbones unloads multiple curse-infused bullets that home into a target and deal Piercing area damage on impact.

Reaper's Wrath

Silverbones dashes quickly to a target and swings his sword upward, dealing Slash damage.

Sea of Spikes

An attack that Silverbones only uses after recovering from a stun. This attack summons multiple watery spikes in a line that stretches to its target. The spikes deal Dark Piercing damage and heals Silverbones each time they hit anyone on your team.
