Boss Tips

Break Multiple Units with Lightning

Octopath Traveler 2 - Temenos Chapter 2 - Break multiple enemies

Having Ochette capture a Rock Tortoise can hit all the summoned enemies with lightning magic, breaking them and rendering them useless for the turn. These summoned units do not do much damage on their own, however they are meant to be thrown at you as elemental attacks.

Alternatively, you can recruit Osvald to deal lightning and ice-based magic to break and destroy them before they can be used for attacks.

Octopath Traveler 2 - Temenos Chapter 2 - Use Polearms and Daggers
Other than Ice and Light, Vados the Architect is also vulnerable against polearm and dagger attacks. If you have a character that can use these weapons, you can easily break Vados with BP-powered attacks. Otherwise you can still use elemental magic to break and defeat him. Hikari, Throne, and Partitio are excellent party members to consider for this.
