How to Beat Igris (Chapter 8 Boss)

Igris Tips and Strategies
Break His Armor Immediately Use Ranged Weapons Focus On Dodging

Break His Armor Immediately

At the start of the fight, Igris will have an armor that increases his defense. You need to Break this armor as quickly as possible to maximize your damage output. Equip multiple Break skills (such as Crushing Blow and Multistrike) and focus on breaking his armor before using your other skills to save MP.

Sung Jinwoo Best Skills and Runes

Use Ranged Weapons

Attacking Igris with melee weapons can be difficult due to his constant AOE attacks. It is highly recommended to use a ranged weapon to attack him from a safe distance instead of charging at him with melee attacks.

Focus On Dodging

During the fight, Igris will constantly cast large AOE attacks that are easy to avoid. However, once he reaches x10 to x15 health, he will start performing charge slashes that can be difficult to dodge. Upon reaching this phase, you should focus on dodging instead of attacking to increase your survivability.

Best Team for Igris

Use Light Element or Characters with Break

Best Hunters
Alternative Hunters

Since Igris is weak to the Light Element, it is highly recommended to exploit this weakness for maximum damage output. Additionally, Hunters with powerful Break skills can help you destroy Igris' Shield much earlier, making the fight more manageable.
