How to Beat Goborn King
Deal With The Additional Enemy Units Firs Manage Your Party's Health Use Skills That Cause Critical Hits

Deal With The Additional Enemy Units First

Use the Synthesis Skill Round Slash to deal with the additional five enemy units that spawn with the Goborn King. Doing this first will allow you to focus damage on the Boss once the other enemies are defeated.

Manage Your Party's Health

Make sure to watch out for your party's health. The Goborn King can also do an attack that targets the entire party so having the Knight draw agro and with Knight's Proclimation and managing her health can mitigate damage to the other party members.

How to Heal

Use Skills That Cause Critical Hits

You can also use attacks that have high critical chances like Critical Strike to get a chance of dealing higher damage to the Goborn King.
