Boom in the Night is a great choice for this fight because Cervus Cantus just stays in one place. You can plant a bomb to where Cervus Cantus is and just let it explode.

Riled-Up Ribbon is also a good choice since it deals a lot of damage. As you wait for Boom in the Night to explode, charge up Riled-Up Ribbon to perform a combo and increase your groove.
