Boss Tips
Save Boosts for Breaking either Boss Use Soulstones when Enemy is Broken

Save Boosts for Breaking either Boss

As much as possible, save your boosts for breaking the enemy with multiple attacks. If you have abilities that already attack an enemy more than once regardless of Boost, it is highly advised to use them. It also helps having a Merchant in your party to donate BP to a particular party member that has a better chance at breaking an enemy.

Break and Boost System Guide

Use Soulstones when Enemy is Broken

Once the enemy is broken, unless you are confident with the stats and buffs that your equipment provides, it is a recommended alternate strategy to pepper the enemy with as many large Soulstones as you have as it can easily deal 5400 damage per large Soulstone.
