| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| Mac an Luin +5 | Unique Skill: Severe Physical attack to 1 foe. Greater effect if a Critical hit. |
| Dark Sword +5 | 2 medium attacks to 1 foe. Chance of inflicting Seal. |
| Pierce Armor +5 | Weak Physical attack to 1 foe. Lowers target's Defense by 1 rank for 3 turns. |
| Bufula +3 | Medium Ice attack to 1 foe. |
| Maragion +4 | Medium Fire attack to all foes. Only used as a Magatsuhi Attack. |
| Tarukaja | Raises Attack of 1 ally by 1 rank for 3 turns. |
| Magatsuhi Skill: All attacks, including magical attacks, will become Critical hits for all allies for 1 turn. |
| Mothman | Lilim | Cironnup |
For the main damage dealers, we recommend Mothman and Lilim as they can target Fionn's weakness to Electric.

Cironnup resists 2 out of Fionn's 3 Magic attacks. It can also use Cautious Cheer to boost the team's stats and Blinding Strike to lower Fionn's Accuracy and Evasion.

Fionn's only weakness is Electric so bring your best Zio spammers and give Nahobino strong Electric skills to gain additional turns during the fight.

You can also get Ruinous Thunder for Nahobino from Aogami Type-4's essence to make him one of your attackers in this boss fight. You can get the essence from the treasure box on the east side of the highway before the leyline fount of Konan 3rd Block.
If you lack strong Electric skills, you can use Elec Gems instead to deal heavy Electric damage to Fionn.

When he starts gathering Magatsuhi, use a Fire Dampener to protect your team against Maragion.

Fionn has high skill proficiency on Physical attacks, allowing him to deal a lot of damage using skills with this affinity. Lower his Accuracy using Cironnup's Blinding Strike to increase the chances of him missing his attacks and ending his turn early.
Fionn uses a lot of Physical attacks that you need to watch out for especially Mac an Luin. Give Nahobino resistance to Physical attacks by using an Oni's essence to boost his survivability.

You are only hurting yourself by using Mothman to deal damage. Use Ame-no-uzume instead she can actually do damage unlike Mothman.
