Recommended Archetypes Against Diabolus Margo

Best Archetypes to Equip

Archetype	Recommended Skills
Prince	・Hero's Proving ・Hero's Cry Synthesis Skills: ・Royal Sword
Magic Seeker	・Vitalja
Summoner	Synthesis Skills: ・Summon Eagle Lion King
Trickster	・Vidyartha

The Prince and the Summoner will be your main sources of damage against Diabolus Margo, since some of Prince's Almighty skills are more effective against Human bosses and the Summoner carries various high-tier summons that can damage Diabolus Margo greatly.

Since Margo changes affinities whenever it prays, it's best to inherit summons from different elements to keep your options open.

The Magic Seeker and the Trickster are your buffers and debuffers, focusing on using Vitalja and Vidyartha to ensure both DPS can output as much damage as possible.

Use Prince's Almighty Skills

As the Prince has powerful Almighty skills, some that are more deadly against Human bosses, like the Royal Slash skill. Using these skills will bring the fight to a close faster so take advantage of it!

Pay Attention to Diabolus Margo's Aura

Like it's Homo counterpart, Diabolus Margo will use Reversal Prayer to change its affinities. The aura behind him will let you know what type he changed into but he will not be weak against the opposite element.

Do not hit Diabolus Margo with the same element aura as it has on currently to avoid losing Turn Icons.

Battle System Explained

Use Synthesis Skills

Synthesis skills will also help you damage Diabolus Margo more at the cost of two turns. We highly recommended using the Prince's Synthesis Skill Royal Sword with the Summoner since this will ensure that it will do more damage against Humans.
