Best Pins for Motoi

The Breezy Ovine Wind Wind

Stop the Music! Burst

Motoi summons a lot of his Purehearts to his aid. These pins have good range and power to help keep control of the battle.

Motoi also has an Affinity Weakness to Time Pins, so a Time Pin that does damage would help defeat Motoi quicker, although you're unlikely to have one by this fight during your first playthrough.

Tips & Strategies for Beating Motoi

★ Strategy Checklist ★
Eliminate Motoi's teammates first

Eliminate Motoi's teammates first

Motoi very rarely attacks in the latter part of the boss battle, as he usually just Fundraises to raise his team's ATK. However, his Fundraising won't be succesful if you eliminate the Pureheart with a cellphone icon. Eliminating all teammates before Motoi even starts Fundraising will greatly cripple Motoi.
