How to Beat Francesca the Actress

Boss Tips


Stock Up on SP Recovery Items

Francesca the Actress has a move called Song of a Broken Soul that deals damage and reduces SP on a targeted character. She uses this move fairly often, which means she can potentially leave your characters without any SP to use their stronger skills.

We recommend stocking up on SP-recovery items such as Inspiriting Plums and have at least one character such as Stia focus on restoring the party's SP during the fight.

Debuff the Boss

Debuffing the boss can help reduce the damage her attacks inflicts during the fight. Fortunately, Schwartz will always use debuffs such as Accuracy Down, Phys. Atk. Down and Elem. Atk. Down whenever it's his turn.

Make sure to use skills that can also inflict debuffs so that Francesca remains weakened during the fight!

Use BP-Boosted Attacks to Break Her Shield

Breaking Francesca's shield will stun her for a few turns, so always boost your attacks and skills when you have enough BP. This helps speed up the fight and prevents Francesca from using her Song of a Broken Soul to reduce your characters' SP.
