Lucky Seventeen Overview

Lucky SeventeenLucky Seventeen Difficulty Rating ★★★★☆
Location
Found at Palace of Annals in Moonveil Mountain

Lucky Seventeen is a boss fought during the Palace of Annals Quest. Most of Seventeen's attacks are slow during his first phase, which can make parrying them easier. Once you reach the 2nd phase, his will start weaving consecutive attacks and create a faster pace that may catch you off guard.

Keep a look out for his new weapon as he can still perform red and yellow attacks. We recommend to focus on parrying his attacks until you can exhaust him to burst out all your damage before he recovers.
