How to Beat Oppressor

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

  1. Attack its Weak Points
  2. Use Kisara's Boost Attack When it Charges Forward
  3. Press Button Combo when Prompted

Attack its Weak Points

Oppressor has 5 major weak points; its knees, the prongs on its side, and it stomach/groin area. Through your fight, you will have to break each core to stand a chance at defeating Oppressor. Hit the weak spots in the order that Alphen calls them out.

Use Kisara's Boost Attack When it Charges Forward

At times, Oppressor will attempt to charge forward and topple every member of your team in its path. Have Kisara's Boost Attack handy when it assumes a charging position. This will stagger Oppressor so you can land more attacks to its weak points.

Press Button Combo when Prompted

Tales of Arise Beyond the Dawn - Oppressor - Press Button When Prompted

Whenever a Button Combo is prompted on screen, press it immediately as it will trigger a Boost Strike and stagger it. This will not only deal considerable amounts of damage, but will push the fight further to its conclusion.

Attack Aggressively

Without any elemental weakness, your best option is to hit it with everything you've got. Have Alphen, Kisara, and Dohalim attack it with as much as they got and let Shionne be out of range to heal anyone who might get KO-ed.

Main Damage Dealer

Alphen will be your main damage dealer as always, sacrificing health in order to deal as much damage as you can. This fight is a battle of endurance so keep a close watch on Alphen's HP.

Shionne Equipment and Artes

Focus on Healing

Have Shionne take a defensive position outside of the melee range of the Oppressor. This way she is relatively out of harm's way and makes it easier to cast her healing artes uninterrupted.

Dohalim Equipment and Artes

Attacker First, Healer Second

Dohalim will play the role of an attacker first and foremost, only being a healer if you decide to swap out Shionne for Rinwell. Having him in your active party also makes him a viable healer if Shionne gets KO-ed.

Kisara Equipment and Artes

Tank Hits for the Party

Kisara's main task is still to tank hits for the party. Have her Boost Attack ready for whenever Oppressor charges forward. With the Supreme Shield Aegis Alter One and the Impregnable, Kisara stands a better chance at dealing damage while also being a tank for the team.
