Becomes a Romanceable Character Later in the Story

Clarice is a unique Boss that becomes a villager after defeating her a second time during the end of the story. Befriending Clarice from this encounter in the Palace of Serendipity is impossible, similar to attempting to befriend Ikaruga.

Once Clarice is unlocked as a villager, you can progress her Bond level and intimacy instead, similar to other romanceable characters.

Best Weapons

Main Weapon Secondary Weapon
Soul of Ice Icon Soul of Ice Mechanical Bow Icon Mechanical Bow

The Soul of Ice is a long sword with high attack power and water attack, which works effectively against Clarice, since it has a weakness to Long Swords.

Bringing the Mechanical Bow as a secondary weapon allows you to deal damage to Clarice from afar, providing a neutral but safer long-range weapon.

Best Equipment

Headgear Pauldron Accessory
Autumn Hairpin Icon Autumn Hairpin Heavenly Knotted Pauldron Icon Heavenly Knotted Pauldron Ring of Repose Icon Ring of Repose

The Autumn Hairpin, Heavenly Pauldron, and Ring of Repose are all equipment that can be crafted from recipes found before fighting Clarice.

Equipping all three increases your defensive stats, allowing you to tank more hits before needing to heal while fighting against Clarice.

Bringing a team consisting of Iroha, Hisui, and Ulalaka for your first team gives you a defensive team, allowing you to survive Clarice's attacks easier while she is not stunned.

Once she is stunned, switch to Matsuri, Murasame, and Fubuki, who will provide an offensive boost, allowing you to deal more damage while Clarice is stunned.

Clarice Strategy




Upgrade Long Sword and Sacred Mask Skills

Upgrading your Long Sword and Sacred Mask Skills is a great way to make the boss battle easier.

For the Long Sword, try to prioritize Charge Attack, and Ultimate Attack nodes. For the Sacred Mask, unlocking both Mask Dances should be your priority.

Use Sacred Mask Dances

If you have the means to consistently restore RP, you can repeatedly use the Mask Dance Attacks to quickly fill up the Boss' stagger meter.

Bring Lots of Recovery Items

Clarice has very powerful attacks, and coming underleveled and unprepared can make the fight significantly harder.

Stock up on healing and food items by purchasing or cooking before challenging the boss!

Use Mask Dance Stances When Stunned

During the Clarice boss fight, you can use Mask Dance Stances once it's stunned to deal more damage.

Ideally, your goal is to build 2 charge bars using attacks before the boss is stunned. Once it's stunned, use up all your charge bars by performing both Mask Dances, to deal massive amounts of damage quickly.

Aim for Perfect Dodge

Performing a Perfect Dodge gives you a brief window of opportunity where the monster is slowed, allowing you to freely perform your combos.

During the Clarice boss fight, perfect dodges are more important compared to previous boss fights, since its attacks deal significantly more damage, and has shorter wind-up times.

How to Perfect Dodge

Clarice Rewards

Various Item Drops

Challenging and defeating Clarice again drops Platinum, and Amethyst.
