In the second phase, Noah switches out to multi-target Magic attacks and uses Domination, a single-target attack that drains a massive amount of HP and MP.
Noah's elemental affinities will change every time it uses Aurora, however, it will always reflect Phys. The table below will show you which elemental Magic attack you can use as indicated by Noah's attack.

Furthermore, Noah voids Light, Dark, and Ailments, and is highly resistant to Almighty. Noah has three support skills including Aurora which changes the element Noah reflects, Dekaja, and Dekunda.
Best Demons to Use | ||
---|---|---|
Pixie | Kurama Tengu | Titania |
White Rider | Red Rider | Black Rider |
Yurlungur | Amaterasu | Vishnu |
Elemental Magic is the game for this fight. We recommend stacking up Makakaja until the skill reaches its limit in the first several turns while you keep track and adjust to Noah's elemental affinity as it changes.
Noah will not reflect Phys in the first phase. However, take note when Noah uses Aurora as it will now then be able to reflect Phys.
The cycle of Noah's attack will always start with Fire, then Ice, Elec, and finally Force, then starts over again with Fire. The elemental Magic attack you can use is indicated by Noah's attack.
Noah's Attack | Element You Can Use |
---|---|
Fire | Ice |
Ice | Fire |
Elec | Force |
Force | Elec |
Noah will try to mask which element it will be non-resistant against by using Phys attacks. Immediately use Tetrakarn or Attack Mirror so Noah will decide to switch out to Magic attacks.
You may obtain an Attack Mirror at Rag's Jewelry Shop.
Noah is highly resistant to Almighty. Refrain from using this type of attack as you'll only be wasting your turn.
Always top up HP to full to survive Noah's skill Domination, a single-target attack that drains a massive amount of HP and MP.
We recommend summoning your demons with the highest Vit stats to survive Domination. Likewise, this battle will be long as Noah is tanky. A Vit stat of at least 23 is good.
We highly recommend using Debilitate on Noah to lower its Attack/Defense/Evasion/Hit Rate all in a single turn.
Alternatively, you can use Tarunda or War Cry to lower its Phys/Magic Attacks. Use Rakunda to lower its defense, or you can use Fog Breath or Sukunda as these debuffs will decrease its chances of dodging your attacks.
Summon a demon that has Prayer, Mediarahan, or Mediarama, so your party can restore HP as you move along the battle. This will be ideal especially in situations wherein you have no available Recovery items on hand.
