Rakuzakai Counter Team Comp

2 Long-Range Attackers + Tank

Rakuzakai Counter Team Comp
Player Tank 2nd Attacker
Miu JujoMiu Jujo Roku SaigoRoku Saigo Tsuki IrohaTsuki Iroha

This team comp prioritizes damage output, and benefits from having Roku as a tank as well as having mobile long-range attackers like Miu and Tsuki. In fighting Rakuzakai, it's recommended to control a long-range attacker, as being in long-range can help minimize the damage you potentially take from Rakuzakai's attacks.

Miu is a highly recommended long-range attacker especially for her high damage output and abilities. She has an ability to place a Luminous Crystal at the target’s feet, which automatically attacks enemies within a certain range.

Tsuki is another recommended long-range attacker for her ability to easily break the enemy's posture. This allows the team to execute Chain Skills on Rakuzakai. Her Ultimate Ability deals excellent damage, so it will be best to use it as much as possible.

1 Attacker, 1 Tank, 1 Support

Rakuzakai Counter Team Comp
Player Tank Support
Tsuki IrohaTsuki Iroha Roku SaigoRoku Saigo Koishi KohinataKoishi Kohinata

This is an evenly distributed team comp that makes use of an attacker, tank, and support.

Tsuki's ability to break Rakuzakai's posture, and the excellent damage output from her Ultimate makes her a highly recommended long-range attacker to control.

It's advantageous for your team to break Rakuzakai's posture, which will open up chances to use more skills and deal more damage. This team also benefits from Koishi's HP recovery abilities.

Roku as tank, and Koishi as support provide the whole team with more survivability and durability.

How to Beat Rakuzakai

How to Beat Rakuzakai




Hit the Giant Orbs to Deal Damage

The giant orbs that Rakuzakai spawns can be used to attack Rakuzakai by simpling hitting or firing at the giant orbs.

Evade Laser Attacks in Lateral Directions

Regardless of the character you use, it's recommended to master dodging and evading to beat Rakuzakai. Rakuzakai's lasers are fired in a sequential pattern, but often evading in lateral directions can help.

Dodge/Evade Spinning Attacks

Rakuzakai's spinning charge attacks can be parried, but it's recommended to play safe and try to dodge it.

Move Away From Red Indicator During Jump Attack

Rakuzakai's jump attack's hit range is indicated by the circular red mark you'll see on the ground when Rakuzakai leaps up into the air. There is a few seconds before Rakuzakai slams into the ground, so take note of the red indicator and move away from it to not take damage.

Use Long-Range Attackers

Recommended Long-Range Attackers.

Rakuzakai Abilities and Attack Patterns

Abilities and Attack Patterns


Spin Attack

This attack has a very short windup animation, but a red WARNING! sign appears when Rakuzakai hits this move, so it can serve as your cue.

Blue waves will emanate from Rakuzakai, and then it will charge towards you in a spinning motion. It's recommended to move as far away as possible from Rakuzakai, and time your Counterattack before Rakuzakai hits you to disrupt the attack.

If you find yourself getting damaged by this attack a lot, you can opt to have a support or healer in your team during this fight.

Lazer Barrage

This is a barrage of lazers that Rakuzakai will continuously unleash for a period of time. This attack covers wide ranges of the battlefield, so it's best to constantly move around and dodge the lazers.

Jump Attack

A red WARNING! sign appears when Rakuzakai attempts this attack. It will leap into the air then slam down towards you.

It is recommended to move away as far as possible and time your Counterattack just before Rakuzakai makes contact with you on the ground.

Map PoV

Rakuzakai can be found around the castle area in Neo Chiyoda during Chapter 3 of the game. Rakuzakai is an optional boss, so you won't need to fight him to progress the story.
