How to Beat Stage 2 - Volubility

Inflict Weakness Break on Malefic Ape

The Malefic Ape's Wrathful Roar gives it three stacks of Gusto. Any character that uses their Skill while the Malefic Ape still has Gusto stacks will get Monitor and locked onto.

To avoid this, inflict Weakness Break on the Malefic Ape. Alternatively, you can have your Tank or Healer use their Skill to draw the Monitor debuff instead of your DPS.

Defeat the Lordly Trashcans

Try to defeat the Lordly Trashcan as soon as possible since it strengthens itself with each turn it takes. You'll only need to Weakness Break it to take it down.

Lordly Trashcan Enemy Guide

Inflict Weakness Break for Performance Points

Senior Staff - Team Leader can summon personnel who have Performance Points. Defeat them to get their Performance Points before the Team Leader consumes them and increases their damage.

Getting Performance Points increases your damage by 50%, up to three times.
