How to Defeat Cocolia Mother of Deception

Tips for Beating Cocolia
Bring Characters That Deal Fire Damage Bring Along an Upgraded Natasha for F2P Heals Destroy the Lances of Eternal Freeze Interrupt the Creation's Prelude

Bring Characters That Deal Fire Damage

Cocolia, Mother of Deception Weaknesses
Quantum	Lightning	Fire

While Cocolia, Mother of Deception is also weak to Lightning and Quantum, the most effective element to use will be Fire. Since you automatically have Trailblazer (Fire) for this battle, try bringing along other Fire-type characters to make breaking her Toughness a breeze.

Bring Along an Upgraded Natasha for F2P Heals

Natasha does a great job of keeping your team alive, especially when you only have F2P options for your team comps. Save her ultimate for when you get hit by Cocolia's Last Choir of Genesis AoE attack to quickly bring your team's HP back up to fighting condition.

Natasha - Best Builds and Teams

Use the Engine of Creation to Break the Lances of Eternal Freeze

At one point of the fight, Cocolia will summon 2 Lances of Eternal Freeze to aid her in battle. These do massive amounts of AoE damage so they are dangerous to leave on the field for a long period of time. Use the Engine of Creation attack to quickly dispose of them and leave Cocolia alone on the battlefield.

Deplete Cocolia's Toughness to Interrupt the Creation's Prelude

During Phase 2 of the fight, Cocolia will start charging up her Last Choir of Genesis AoE attack by casting The Creation's Prelude. To interrupt it and prevent the AoE attack from being cast, break Cocolia's Toughness using a combination of Fire attacks and the Engine of Creation.
