How to Beat Father

Boss Tips
Use Elemental Soulstones Break First, Damage Later

Use Elemental Soulstones

Soulstones are powerful items that deal elemental damage. If your main elemental user is low on SP, it is recommended that you check your items if you have Soulstones handy. These stones have the capacity to deal damage ranging from 400 to 2200.

Break First, Damage Later

Attacks like Throne's HP Thief attacks twice with a dagger, Temenos' Latent Power allows him to lower Shield Points regardless of the attack used.

It is recommended to focus on breaking Father first before focusing on dealing damage as it will give you the chance to heal and regroup while he can't attack.

At the later stages of the fight, Father's speed will hasten giving him more chances to attack successively. Break him with BP-powered physical attacks to prevent him from taking the advantage.
