Nyx Avatar Recommended Party Setup

Character	Best Skills	Explanation
Protagonist	・Morning Star ・God's Hand ・Debilitate	The main character should be your highest damage dealing character at this stage of the game. You'll should have access to the strongest elemental skill, physical skill, or almighty skill to deal huge amounts of damage and get through each phase as fast as possible.
Yukari	・Mediarahan ・Recarm	Yukari will be your heal bot for the whole fight. This will be a long battle of attrition so bringing a unit that will focus on healing is highly recommended.
Mitsuru	・Matarunda ・Diamond Dust	Defense reduction and high magic stat makes Mitsuru a strong character to bring for the fight. Ice is also one of the earlier phases that Nyx will use which means that you won't have to worry about Mitsuru's weakness getting sniped as often during the latter stages of the fight.
Akihiko	・Masukukaja ・Matarunda	Similar to Yukari, this will be a long battle and Akihiko excels at using buffs thanks to his Theurgy. Akihiko's main focus is to keep your team buffed up with evasion bonuses and dealing damage second.

How to Beat Nyx Avatar

The following tips can help you beat Nyx Avatar in battle.

1. 14 Phases, Each Mimics Every Arcana Boss
2. Bring Homunculus
3. Use Armageddon to Burst Nyx's Final Phase

Has 14 Phases That Mimics Every Arcana Boss

Be prepared for a long fight as Nyx has 14 phases that mimics the previous Arcana boss fights you encountered throughout the game. Nyx's weaknesses will also change depending on its equipped Arcana.

Bring Homunculus

During its Justice phase, it may use Light instant-kill moves so bringing a Homunculus can increase your safety during this phase. This is much more crucial for the main character as the death of the MC means you'll have to go through all the phases again.

Use Armageddon to Burst Nyx's Final Phase

Each of Nyx's phase has their own HP pool so using Armageddon won't be enough to skip several phases in one move. However, it can instantly end one phase when you use it. We highly recommend using Amageddon during Nyx's Death Arcana phase as this is the most difficult period of the fight.
