Grus Cantus Alpha Attacks and Abilities

Grus Cantus Alpha can hurl orbs at your team that can immobilize them for a while. Failing to free a character from the orb will result to tons of damage from a barrage of lasers.

Summoning Darkness

Grus Cantus Alpha can summon darkness that will make her untargetable.

Fireballs

Grus Cantus Alpha also throws fireballs at your team.

Lasers

Lastly, Grus Cantus Alpha can repeatedly fire lasers at your team for a period of time.

Pins like Beringei and Gorgeous Gemstone are great to have in this battle since they can help build up groove.

Pachy and Rex can deal a lot of damage to Grus Alpha too.

Pair these pins with Heartthrob Launcher to help you stay healthy during the fight.

Tips & Strategies for Beating Grus Cantus Alpha

★ Strategy Checklist ★
Avoid lasers during darkness Attack orb if a character gets trapped Trigger mash-up to immediately escape orb

Avoid Lasers During Darkness

Grus Cantus Alpha can't be targeted when it's dark. Trying to get close to her can result to damage so it's better to avoid her lasers during this time.

Attack Orb if a Character Gets Trapped

Grus Cantus Alpha's orbs can trap, immobilize, and incapacitate some of your characters. Free that character by attacking the orb directly to avoid damage from a barrage of lasers. Be sure to switch your target from Grus Cantus Alpha to the orb to free your character.

Trigger Mash-up to Immediately Escape Orb

You can also trigger a mash-up attack to escape or break a party member free from an orb. Only do this as a last resort (it's always better to save up your Groove for a Killer Remix), such as when your Pins are in cooldown or when you can't destroy the orb in time before the lasers start zapping your friend helplessly.
