How to Beat Lady Herminia

Boss Tips



Focus on Destroying Lady Herminia's Shield

Break Herminia

Prioritize breaking Lady Herminia’s Shield to stun her and prevent her dangerous attacks. You can ignore the Lady-In-Waiting at first, as her heal is negligible when you are dealing high BP damage during Herminia’s stun, and her attacks are much weaker in comparison.

Both of them are weak to Axes, so Stia, Phenn, Macy, and Delitia are great to bring for damaging the shield points of both Herminia and the Lady-In-Waiting.

Bring Alexia for Her Lightning and Dark Spells

Alexia can be recruited early in the story, and she has both Lightning and Dark spells that Lady Herminia is weak to. Target Lady Herminia with either Lightning Bolt or Duskfall to deal heavy damage and chip away at her shield. These battle spells also deal bonus splash damage to the Lady-In-Waiting.

Alexia Character Profile and How to Recruit

Destroy the Manifestations of Mental Decay Immediately

Herminia will summon Manifestations of Mental Decay in the second phase. They use a four-turn countdown, and if it reaches zero, they unleash a devastating attack that leaves your front row at around 5% HP or less. Destroy them as quickly as possible, as they also have low HP and can usually be eliminated within one or two turns.

Be Alert When the Manifestation Uses the All-Attack Counter Stance

The second Manifestation of Decay summon can use the All-Attack Counter Stance. When this happens, avoid attacking it, as doing so will inflict Sleep on the attacker.

If you need to destroy it when the countdown is nearing completion, be cautious about who you choose to deal damage to, as they will fall asleep. It's best to use a back row ally with a big boosted attack to destroy it.

If Herminia the Huntress is already low HP, focus on finishing her off. Defeating her immediately ends the fight, allowing you to ignore the remaining Manifestations.
