Warlord	・Formation of Vigor ・Megidola ・Masukukaja

This is another tricky battle to tackle. The main roadblock here is that the Devourer of Stars can deflect all attack types, limiting your options to Almighty Skills or weakness infliction. The Dragon also likes to cast a party-wide attack that inflicts Hex.

The strategy here is to distract the Dragon with the Ninja while the other party members do damage. A maxed Ninja will have very high agility with passive skills that further improve this. Use Knight's Proclamation to try and limit the dragon to physical attacks. This will have the combination effect of centralizing the damage to one party member while having the chance to cut off the Dragon's attack every time the Ninja successfully dodges.

Damage will be dealt between the Prince, Trickster, and Warlord. With the Trickster, and Warlord giving additional buffs and debuffs.

Hex Status Effect and How to Cure

Use Almighty Skills and Inflict Weakness

The Devourer of Stars will repel everything. The only way you can get any damage on it is through Almighy Skills or by inflicting one-time weakness through a skill.

The Dragon also prioritizes removing buffs and debuffs so stacking those on will help waste its turn icons.
