Take Out Anubis and Thoth First
At the start of the fight, Khonsu Ra will summon Anubis and Thoth. They can make the battle more difficult by supporting Khonsu Ra. Hit their respective weaknesses or use critical or pierce AOE attacks to damage them while hitting Khonsu Ra at the same time.
| Demon | Weakness | Resistance | Null or Higher |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anubis | Force | Dark | Holy |
| Thoth | Dark | - | Fire |
Anubis acts mainly as a debuffer and Thoth as a buffer. Anubis should go first, as Thoth's support for Ra is easier to deal with than debuffs on your own party.
Use Ice Skills
Khonsu Ra is weak to Ice-type attacks, so take advantage of this and target him with skills like Bufubarion or Ice Age to deal the most damage possible and extend your turn.
Null Light and Fire Damage
Prioritize bringing demons that block Light and Fire damage. Blocking Light damage is more important though, since Khonsu Ra's skill Heliopolis Dawn is a fire skill with a piercing effect that targets all foes. Also Khonsu Ra is likely to use Mahamaon after charging Magatsuhi, so having a party that nulls light damage can negate that attack completely.
Note that Khonsu Ra has access to Almighty skills like Megidolaon and Freikugel, and can use them if your entire party is immune to his Light and Fire skills on higher difficulty settings. Consider leaving one or two neutral affinities prevent this.
Buff and Debuff
Khonsu Ra doesn't have any way of buffing himself or debuffing your party without his summons. Feel free to use skills like Luster Candy or Debilitate to negate his buffs and counter debuffs on your party.
Avoid Attacking When Mesektet's Path is Cast
Attacking Khonsu Ra the turn after he has cast Mesektet's Path will cause him to counter and inflict the attacking character with a unique Shroud status effect that drains MP at the start of each turn. When Mesektet's Path is cast, we suggest to continue attacking him, and heal your HP and MP back up afterwards since the attack following Mesektet's Path can wipe the party out.
Best Demons to Use Against Khonsu Ra
| Arioch | Sraosha | Lakshmi |
| Kali | Amon | Mithras |
| Cleopatra |
Demons With Ice Skills
Arioch naturally learns Bufubarion and has a base fusion level of 75, which is pretty close to the recommended level of this fight. Also Arioch's affinities aren't great, but they aren't terrible either, being neutral to both Fire and Light damage.
Demons That Null Light and Fire Damage
Mithras has the perfect affinities to deal with Khonsu Ra, draining Fire damage and nulling Light damage. Additionally Mithras naturally learns both Dekaja and Dekunda which can be very helpful if Anubis and Thoth are casting buffs and debuffs.
Buffs and Debuffs
Lakshmi acts as both a great buffer and healer in this fight. After Anubis and Thoth have been dealt with, have Lakshmi cast Luster Candy to buff the whole party. Teaching her or another party member the debuff Debilitate will give you an even larger advantage, althought the MP cost of these spells is quite high.
