How to Beat Ghoulish Arms

To aid in your battle against Ghoulish Arms, here are some tips that you can utilize in your fight.

1. Have Another Healer Handy
2. Upgrade Your Gear as Early as You Can

Have Another Healer Handy

Ghoulish Arms is a more steady attacker than Megawrecker. Having another healer in your party that can use Resurrection is a good way for you to focus on just dealing damage and managing CP.

Upgrade Your Gear as Early as You Can

Despite having an abyssmal Defense and Elemental Defense of less than 1000, Ghoulish Arms makes it up for this with insanely high HP, Attack, and Elemental Attack. It is recommended that you find every means to upgrade your equipmeent as much as you can before facing this enemy, alternatively you can either overlevel or change the difficulty if the fight proves too difficult.

Recommended Party Setup for Ghoulish Arms

Party Members

Leader	Members
Alphen Lv. 80	Shionne Lv. 80	Kisara Lv. 80	Dohalim Lv. 80

Hit Hard, Heal Often

The main tactic going into this fight is to hit hard as much as you can, and heal as often as you can. Manage your party's CP and outlive your enemy with Boost Attacks.

How to Use Boost Attacks

Alphen Equipment and Artes

Alphen Lv. 80	Equipment
	El Vahf
	Highest Attainer
	Warrior Emblem
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
First Set
Lightning Thrust	Mirage
Dragon Swarm	Luna Rondo
Double Demon Fang	Stardust
Second Set
Eternal Devastation	Soaring Light Spear
Rising Wyvern	Hurricane Thrust
Sword Rain: Alpha	Rising Falcon

Use Flame Boost Attacks moderately

Alphen's Boost Attack and Perk are both Fire-based making them ideal attacks against Ghoulish Arms. However, do note that these attacks, while powerful, have a drawback: Alphen's self-inflicts damage every time he uses it. Use in moderation alongside a healer preferably.

Shionne Equipment and Artes

Shionne Lv. 80	Equipment
	Deep Red Noble Rose
	Witch Dress
	Resist Ring
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
First Set
Healing Circle	Scorched Earth
Ignis Celestra	Toxicity
Annihilation	Displode
Second Set
Resurrection	Aranea Celestra
Flare Tornado	Tres Ventos
Burning Strike	Scorched Earth

Equip Fire Artes to provide best support

Shionne also has some good Fire-based Artes at her disposal, but her primary role will be a healer if you haven't managed to upgrade her weapon.

Kisara Equipment and Artes

Kisara Lv. 80	Equipment
	Supreme Shield Aegis
	Stout Closer
	Protect Ring
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
First Set
Rolling Thunder	Lightning Streak
Tiger Blade	-
Slag Assault	-
Second Set
Inferno Crossing	Lightning Streak
Slag Assault	-
Flaming Meteor	-

Be A Tank

Kisara's main task is to tank hits for the party. With your newly acquired Stout Closer that you can acquire before this fight, it will making taking hits much easier. For good measure, equip her with accessories that either add more HP or Defense to her stats.

Dohalim Equipment and Artes

Dohalim Lv. 80	Equipment
	Ending Rod Bucks
	Moonlight Revelry
	Pierce Emblem
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
First Set
Elusive Deity	Tornado Drive
Stalagmite	Rotating Piledriver
Seismic Rupture	Tornado Drive
Second Set
Ground Dasher	Tornado Drive
Seismic Rupture	Rotating Piledriver
Resurrection	-

Attacker First, Healer Second

Dohalim will play the role of an attacker first and foremost, only being a secondary healer if Shionne goes down. Although Dohalim's Artes aren't exactly the element that Ghoulish Arms is weak against, it is still worth having him fight because he can also use Resurrection.
