How to Beat Masher Mare and Masher Bull

Tips
Attack Their Weak Points
Focus on One

Attack Their Weak Points

Both Masher Bull and Masher Mare will have Weak Points located along their legs. Seeing as neither creature has any weaknesses to any element, you can instead focus all of your attacks on their Weak Points as an alternative to land critical hits against them.

Focus on One

Both attackers are strong and difficult beasts to fight against – with both of them having large HP pools, it will be difficult to manage the fight by dealing with both creatures at the same time. Instead, focus on just one of them to better focus and direct your attacks, eliminating the one you focus on and freeing you up to better strategize against the remaining one.

Recommended Party Setup for Masher Mare and Masher Bull

Party Members

Leader	Members
Alphen Lv.55	Shionne Lv.55	Rinwell Lv.55	Law Lv.55

Bring Healing Items

So long as both creatures are still active and capable of attacking your party, it is recommended that you switch to making use of healing items to recover the lost HP of your party members. While Shionne, Dohalim, or even some of Kisara's recovery Artes offer more powerful recoveries, their slow cast time makes them vulnerable to enemy attacks.

Even if they manage to dodge out of the way of such attacks, it still takes away from the valuable time any healing could be delivered to your party members.

Use Boost Attacks For Crowd Control

When focusing on just one creature throughout the fight, it might be difficult to properly see or defend against some of the attacks that the other remaining creature can do against your party when its focus is not on it.

To slow the pace of the fight down and provide some much needed time to restrategize the way your party fights, make use of Alphen's Boost Attack to temporarily stun one of the creatures, allowing you time to re-think your strategy moving forward.

Shionne Equipment and Artes

Focus on Attacking

Due to the slow casting times of her healing Artes, it might be better to switch over to item use throughout the battle. In light of this, you can now freely make use of Shionne to freely attack one of the creatures. Her long-range attacks, similar to Rinwell's, allows her to cause damage from a distance.

Rinwell Equipment and Artes

Rinwell Lv.55	Equipment
	Historia Rene
	Holy Cloak

First Set
Holy Lance	Electric Discharge

Thunder Field	Placid Pool
Divine Saber	-

Attack From a Distance

With both Alphen or Law being the center of focus for the creatures by attacking up-close, both Shionne and Rinwell can be allowed to freely attack from range. This allows them to relatively stay out of the way from the creatures' attacks, and offers them some time to maneuver around the area should either or both of the creatures choose to charge at them.

Law Equipment and Artes

Law Lv.55	Equipment
	Divine Wrath
	Canine Vest
	Protect Ring
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
First Set

Talon Storm	Eagle Assault
Fang Blast	Death Blossom
Second Set

Talon Hurricane	Fang Bolero

Use Boost Attacks on Weak Points

When you have chosen a particular creature to focus against, directly target its Weak Point for more focused attacks. When properly activated at an angle, you can have Law's Boost Attack directly impact its Weak Point, making it easier to shatter later on.

Masher Mare and Masher Bull Attack Patterns

Mace Attacks

Both Masher Bull and Masher Mare have the same attack patterns, which they perform repeatedly throughout the fight. They will make use of their large weapons, which they swing around and slam down on the ground to hit you.

Getting hit by these attacks will be enough to either knock you on your back or cause you to pancake into the ground in a stunned state.

Mace Charges

When it has enough room, either or both of the creatures will charge at you to slam their maces on top of you. These attacks are quite difficult to avoid, with Perfect Dodges being difficult to execute due to the small dodge window you have.

These are also impossible to block, even with the help of Kisara's Boost Attack. Instead, it is recommended that you watch for how they angle their mace in the air – dodge away from where the projected impact site of their maces will be to avoid getting hit. This, however, reduces the probability of you being able to execute a Perfect Dodge.
