Armstrong has no means of close-range attack except for its “Knock Away” punching attack, as its Mist attack, which inflicts Slow, deals no damage. As long as you stay to its side and avoid its face, you'll be able to easily avoid its punches, so keep in as close as possible and don't stop laying on the damage.
You can pick up several Fire Magicite in Tida. If you've collected enough to use Firaga, you can wait for a chance and then hit it for heavy damage. It takes a long time to charge, but its damage range is extremely wide, allowing you to take out surrounding enemies while dealing damage in one swoop.
Armstrong's attacks will change in response to the players' distance. It will come close and retreat far away, moving around with great hustle and bustle, but that simply makes its movements easier to read.

Cannon Burst (when HP is 50% or lower) |
After decreasing its HP by 50%, it will start to fire bursts from its cannon when the players are at a distance. Its preparation time is short, so it can be difficult to avoid, but as long as you stay moving and force it to turn after you, it will almost surely miss.
From Cycle 2 on, its Cannon Burst will be upgraded with the ability to inflict status effects. In Cycle 2, it will inflict Stop, and in Cycle 3, it will inflict Curse. When Cursed, your Strength, Magic and Defense will all be halved, leaving you completely vulnerable, so stay out of the battle until you can recover.
Each Boss drops a set of four Artifacts when defeated. The set of Artifacts dropped depends on the current cycle count, number of players, and the number of Bonus Points earned by the players. At high levels, non-Artifact items like rare Materials and Scrolls can also drop.
Players must earn at least the indicated number of Bonus Points for their given player count and cycle to receive a given Set.
