How to Beat Director and Attack Patterns

Defeat All But One Poundette Inflict Fear with Bowser's Terrorize Enemies Are Weak to Lightning Attacks

Defeat All But One Poundette

At the start of battle, the Director will be accompanied by 4 Poundettes. Focus on the Poundettes since each poundette is capable of inflicting the Fear status on your party members with the Fear Hammer.

Make sure to leave one (1) Poundette alive since defeating all of them will have the Director summon more Poundettes!

Inflict Fear with Bowser's Terrorize

Use Bowser's Terrorize to inflict Fear on the Director and Poundettes, reducing the damage they can do while also increasing damage dealt to them.

Make sure it's used regularly to ensure an easier battle and increased survivability for your party members!

Best Special Moves for Each Character

Enemies are Weak to Lightning Attacks

In any case that you decide to bring Mallow or have means to apply Lightning damage, know that the Poundettes are weak to Lightning attacks.

Mallow comes in handy in defeating Poundettes and the Director with Shocker.
