Boss Guide: Susukichi/Mr. Mew/Grus Cantus

Susukichi

NEO TWEWY Susukichi Week 2

Susukichi's attack patterns are still the same from the last time you fought him. His punches are still slow, but lethal to your team's HP. With that, you can evade them when he telegraphs them or quickly switch to a character who is afar by hitting their assigned button, as your HP will only get damaged if your current character is hit.

How to Beat Susukichi (2nd fight)

Mr. Mew

Mr Mew Week 2
Similar to Susukichi, fighting Mr. Mew for the second time won't have any differences from the last you fought him on Week 2, Day 2. Just make sure to avoid the laser and twister attacks, and deal damage with pins of the Light affinity.

How to Beat Mr. Mew (2nd fight)

Grus Cantus

NEO TWEWY Grus Cantus Tsugumi
Grus Cantus swarms the battlefield with lasers and copies of itself, so be extra mindful to avoid attacks. Grus Cantus sometimes shuts off the lights, making you unable to target it for a time. During this time, it's better to just avoid its lasers, as going near it to attack makes it difficult to avoid the quick laser shots.

Avoid the trap orbs

Avoid the orbs that immobilize your characters most of all, as getting caught leads you to be barraged with lasers. If your character gets caught in it, immediately start attacking the orb with another character in order to set them free. You may also trigger a Mashup attack, if your Groove is over 100%, as a quick way to get the character out of the trap.
