|
Make Sure Viktor Does the First Attack
If you have any of your characters other than Viktor attack Neclord, their attacks will not affect him. On the first turn, use Defend on the rest of the party while Viktor does a normal attack with the Celestial Sword to make Neclord vulnerable to the rest of your team.
Fortress of Lorimar to Neclord's Castle
Have Someone Equip the Flowing Rune
Having a Flowing Rune equipped is mandatory for this fight with how strong Neclord's AoE attacks can be. This way, you have access to Rain of Kindness, as well as the other higher tier spells, that heals the entire party.
How to Get Flowing Rune and Effects
Keep Using Magic Attacks Against Him
Neclord has no weaknesses so use spells that cause the most damage, like spells from the Lightning Rune or the Hero's Soul Eater Rune. Just remember to heal or defend if you're low on HP so that you don't lose a party member.
Upgrade Weapons to Level 15
Before facing Neclord, make sure that your physical attackers' weapons have been upgraded to Level 15. This requires you to have Moose recruited, as well as a ton of money since it can get really expensive quickly.
Also, make sure to have the best gear available for all your party members to increase their chances of survival.
