Standby Party
Mallow	・Attacker and support ・Deals damage with Lightning damage with Shocker
Geno	・Attacker and support ・Raises attack and defense power with Geno Boost ・Deals damage with normal attacks

Peach is essential to this fight since her healing and revival abilities will help in surviving the attacks of both the Gunyolk, which is capable of the devastating Breaker Beam.

None of them are immune to status, so having Bowser use Terrorize on these enemies will make it easier to deal with their attacks.

How to Beat Gunyolk and Factory Chief: Attack Patterns

Target the Factory Chief First Inflict Fear with Bowser's Terrorize Prevent Attacks with Status Effects Gunyolk's Dangerous Boss Move

Target the Factory Chief First

The fight may be difficult to deal with if you are fighting both the Gunyolk and Factory Chief at the same time. Aim to get rid of the Factory Chief first since its utility special moves can interrupt your efforts to deal with and survive the Gunyolk.

The Gunyolk has the most HP and the most dangerous moves, one being the Breaker Beam which is used every two turns. This becomes even more dangerous due to the Factory Chief's ability to stall the party wtih the Poison and mushroom transformation special attack.

Inflict Fear with Bowser's Terrorize

Bowser's special move Terrorize can inflict Fear while dealing damage to enemies. Inflicting Fear will cause the afflicted to take more damage and deal less.

It is a good idea to use this special move regularly to make the fight with Gunyolk and Factory Chief more bearable.

Best Special Moves for Each Character

Prevent Attacks with Status Effects

Peach serves mainly as a healer in this fight. But whenever there is an opening with no need for healing, use status effects moves such as Mute or Sleepy Time to prevent the enemies from using any of their powerful special attacks.

Gunyolk's Dangerous Boss Move

Gunyolk's Breaker Beam

The Gunyolk's most dangerous move is the Breaker Beam. Breaker Beam is a high-damage party-wide attack. Watch out for it and have recovery items on hand!
