Leo Cantus Armo Attacks and Abilities

Rapid Movements (No Armor)

When the Leo Cantus Armo has no armor equipped, it moves rapidly, often avoiding attacks. It similarly deals punches and kicks rapidly during this time.

Armor Up

The Leo Cantus Armo intervally summons armor that adds shield to its overall HP. Its shield HP is denoted by the grey bar underneath its HP bar. When attacked, it will still take HP damage, but its armor will take the brunt of the damage.

Fire Pillar & Strike

Strike afterwards

When the Leo Cantus Armo has armor on, it can raise fire pillars from the ground. Immediatley after the fire pillar, it launches forward, striking with its claws.

Fire Eruption

When the Leo Cantus Armo has armor on, it will sometimes raise multiple fire pillars at once in the middle of the battlefield. This is signaled by bright cracks appearing at the very center of the battlefield.

Equip Water Pins

Pin Affinity Guide

Equip Spectral Swords Pin

Pins with the Spectral Swords Psych similarly follow the target around, so they're also greatly useful against the Leo Cantus Armo, who zips around a lot. ShiDare Shade is a powerful Spectral Swords Pin that you should equip for this battle.

Light & Sound Pins Also Useful

Most Light Pins have the HP Vampire ability, which allows you to regain health as you deal damage. Most Sound Pins have the Groove Boost ability, which allows you to build up Groove faster and thus perform Killer Remixes on the boss.

How to Perform Killer Remixes

Tips & Strategies for Beating Leo Cantus Armo

★ Strategy Checklist ★
Build up Groove when boss has no armor Perform Killer Remix when it has armor on Get ready to dodge after fire pillar

Build up Groove When Not Armored

The Leo Cantus Armo has relatively weak attacks when it doesn't have armor on, so this is when you go on your full offensive. Try to build up Groove as well using Spectral Swords Pins, Sound Pins, and Rapid-tap pins. Don't perform a Killer Remix when it's unarmored, as most of the hits won't affect it.

Perform Killer Remix When Armored

When the Leo Cantus Armo has armor on, play more defensively, as carelessness here can cost the battle. If you have a Killer Remix at this point, use it to destroy the armor faster, while still dealing great damage to his HP. You also regain a significant amount of HP after performing a Killer Remix.

Dodge After Fire Pillar

When the Leo Cantus Armo raises a fire pillar, you may keep attacking, but note that he leaps at you immediately after the fire pillar subsides.
