Use Fire, Imaginary, or Lightning Characters

For King in Check, we recommend bringing Fire, Imaginary, and Lightning characters.

Bring Characters That Deal AoE Damage

Since the Great Septimus summons multiple Echo of Faded Dreams, it is advised to bring characters that deal AoE damage to easily inflict Weakness Break on them and take them out.

How to Beat Anomaly Arbitration King in Check

Inflict Weakness Break on Echo of Faded Dreams

Star Rail - Anomaly Arbitration King in Check - Inflict Weakness Break on Echo of Faded Dreams

Inflicting Weakness Break on Echo of Faded Dreams delays the Great Septimus' action, so make sure to inflict Weakness Break on them first. The damage the Echo of Faded Dreams takes is also inflicted on it.

AoE Attacks excel in this regard since hitting multiple targets means you will be able to break enemy Weaknesses simultaneously. You'll also deny the Great Septimus' Volteggiando and Tempestoso attacks by doing this.

Break The Great Septimus's Shield

In phase two, it will summon a shield that prevents its Toughness from being reduced. To break it, inflict enough damage to the Great Septimus and its Echoes of Faded Dreams.

Reduce The Toughness Gauge

In phase three, it will begin a countdown. When the countdown ends, it will use an AoE attack that deals massive damage that will wipe your team if you don't have enough shield. To gain enough shield, you must reduce the Great Septimus' Toughness gauge stacks.
