Battle Strategies

Rush the Hierophant

Triangle Strategy - Rush the Hierophant

Beating the Hierophant automatically wins the battle. It's best to rush her without minding all the other enemies. Her ability Pull Strings allows her to make as many automaton as she wants, so beating all the enemies one by one isn't advised.

TP to Damage Increases damage dealt. The greater your TP, the greater the boost.
Power: -
Range: -

A straightforward attack would work best as she is immune to all status ailments. Her TP to Damage passive is also deadly when paired with her Divine Punishment ability.

Now...! Move an ally's turn to directly after your own.
Power: -
Range: 1-4 (Height -10 - +10)

One way to instantly get to her position and deal massive damage is to use the Lightwave Quietus to attack and using Benedict's Now...! ability to move twice.

Beating Automaton

Triangle Strategy - Blazing Chains

The Automatons conjured by the Hierophant can use both fire and ice abilities. While this gives them more options to attack, this also means that using either Frederica or Corentin is equally effective.

Frosty Fetters Deal ice-type magic damage to a single enemy, have a chance to silence them for 2 turn(s), and freeze the ground.
Power: 51
Range: 1-4 (Height -10 - +10)

Attack Automatons using Blazing Chains or Frosty Fetters to deal significant damage. Be warned that defeating them will trigger their Last Resort passive that deals physical damage to adjacent enemies.

Keep Your Health in Check

Triangle Strategy - Divine Punishment
The Hierophant can deal massive damage to your units when grouped together using her ability Divine Punishment. This ability targets all units with 3 or more TP.

Sanctuary Grant HP to allies within range.
Power: 28
Range: 0-4 (Height -10 - +10)

Use healing spells like Sanctuary or Medina's Double Items to heal multiple units at once.

Doing this allows your stronger units to focus on taking down foes, while your support units keep their health up at all costs.

Chapter 20B General Tips

Take Advantage of Quietuses

Using a Quietus

Quietuses are an extremely helpful set of commands that can help your units in a multitude of ways. To name a few, certain Quitetuses can influence turn count, damage dealt, unit positioning, and more.

In this case, you can have your strongest unit teleport close to the Hierophant using the Quietus Lightwave.

Take this strategy up a notch by using another Quietus like Critical Blow to deal more damage and to speed up battle.

Provided that you have the Quietus Points for them, using these commands will make Serenoa and his allies a force to be reckoned with.
