Recommended Archetypes Against Captain Klinger

Best Archetypes to Equip

Archetype	Recommended Skills
Seeker	・Cyc ・Dei
Warrior	・Diagonal Slash

Diagonal Slash and Cyc are solid options when you want to deal damage towards Captain Klinger and the Mage Soldiers. Dei is a good alternative for recovery if you ever run out of recovery items to use during the boss battle.

Additionally, the Warrior Archetype is resistant against Fire so Bot casted by Captain Klinger will deal minimal damage when directed towards someone equipped with the Warrior Archetype.

How to Beat Captain Klinger

How to Beat Captain Klinger
Defeat the Mage Soldiers First Use Diagonal Slash From Warrior Archetype Have Member With Seeker Archetype Guard

Defeat the Mage Soldiers First

The Mage Soldiers will be buffing up Captain Klinger's defense by casting Mage Shield towards him. It is recommended that you defeat them first to prevent Captain Klinger's defense from rising.

Use Diagonal Slash From Warrior Archetype

Strohl will be awakening the Warrior Archetype at the start of the boss battle, so it is recommended that you use Diagonal Slash as it dishes out some hefty damage against Captain Klinger and his Mage Soldiers.

All Archetypes and Jobs

Resist Bot Using Warrior Archetype

Additionally, the Warrior Archetype is resistant to Fire so Strohl will be resistant to Mage Fire casted by Captain Klinger during the battle.

Have Party Member With Seeker Archetype Guard

Captain Klinger will be using Mage Fire against your party, so be sure to have the party member equipped with the Seeker Archetype Guard to lessen the damage.

The Seeker Archetype is weak against Fire, so incurring damage from Mage Fire will substantially lower the health of the wielder.

At this point in the game, the protagonist will be the only one equipped with the Seeker Archetype. Make sure to have him Guard during his last turn point.
