How to Beat The King-Kings

The King-Kings Boss Guide
Focus on Conqueror Deepwan first Keep on using Burst combos Use Chain Attacks as soon as possible

Focus on Conqueror Deepwan First

King Krawkin's main role is to provide support for Conqueror Deepwan and summon lv100 backup enemies. Conqueror Deepwan dishes out more damage than the other and can also use an Art that will inflict Target Lock to your entire team, forcing them to attack Conqueror Deepwan, so let's just give it what it wants.

Focus all your attacks on Conqueror Deepwan and take it out as fast as you can. You can try starting a combo with Noah's Glitter Stream followed by a Topple then a Launch. Keep it on this state and maximize the time it's immobilized before doing a Smash at the last second (assuming you equipped a Smash Art on Noah).

Keep on Using Burst Combos

Conqueror Deepwan's attacks will hurt a lot and can easily wipe out your team when it is in enragred mode. With a Troubadour on your team and other allies with Way Home in their Master Arts, you can frequently complete a Burst combo (Break > Topple > Daze > Burst) to quell its rage and return its stats to normal.

How to Use Combos

Use Chain Attacks as Soon as Possible

As soon as you fill up the gauge, initiate a Chain Attack and plan your orders well to rack up damage multipliers. Interlinks and Ouroboros Orders are disabled for this fight, so use each Chain Attack wisely. Keep canceling Arts, performing role actions, and completing combos so you can use Chain Attacks more frequently.

You can also use Chain Attacks as an opportunity to heal your entire team or revive downed allies with Nia's Chain Order.

Wait for your allies to be revived before executing

If you have downed allies, it would be better to wait for your Healers to revive them before starting a Chain Attack. The more party members available during Chain Attacks, the more orders you can complete and the stronger each attack will get due to the increasing multipliers.

Best Party Setup Against The King-Kings

Recommended Leader Setup

Noah Incursor	Master Arts	Class Arts
	Cross Impact Fatal Bite Shadow Eye	Aerial Slash Glitter Stream Mystic Vision
	Master Skills	Gems
	Dynamite Spirit Critical Strike Fighting Prowess	Analyze Weakness Steady Striker Empowered Combo

Main attacker

Take control of Noah as an Incursor to be the team's main attacker. Try to use all your Arts through canceling so you can fill up the Chain Attack gauge faster. Start with Cross Impact to gain Power Charge and then cancel it to your other Arts, preferably a side Fatal Bite.

Don't forget to use your buff skills to increase your damage output, especially Shadow Eye if you start drawing more aggro.

Start combo with Break

Try to start a combo by going around the sides and using Glitter Stream to inflict Break. Since it's an Agnian Art, it can be easily recharged by the Steady Striker gem. You can also increase Noah's critical rate and attack damage by attacking either bosses while in a Launched state.

Recommended Party Members

Member/Class	Role
Mio Troubadour	・Main Burst combo finisher with Way Home ・Provides Fast Recharge to teammates with Ring o' Roses ・Increases team accuracy and evasion with the Swiftsong skill
Eunie War Medic	・Vital Bullet is useful for when the boss performs a powerful AoE attack while other healing Arts are on cooldown
Taion Lost Vanguard	・Draw more aggro with Taunt Pulse ・Provide additional defense to allies with Electro Field
Lanz Lone Exile	・Can switch aggro with your Lost Vanguard ・Deals decent damage ・Launch target with Soaring Tempest
Sena Royal Summoner	・Helps your Incursor in dealing damage ・Inflict Topple with Starfall ・Reduces the boss' Block Rate with the Essence of Ether Skill
Nia Lifesage	・Can be both a Healer and a damage dealer ・Heroic Chain reactivates all other allies if used to complete an order

Give Lifegiving Expertise and Soothing Breath to Healers

You're going to need to have your Healers revive allies faster and with more health if you're against powerful foes like superbosses. Give both Mio and Eunie Lifegiving Expertise X and Soothing Breath X so they can get your team back up faster.

Set Burst Master Arts to your allies

Be sure that your team can complete Burst (Break > Topple > Daze > Burst) combos using their Class Arts and Master Arts.

The Troubadour's Way Home Art is the only Master Art with the Burst effect that you can use if you follow this party setup, but you can also use Mio's Dominion Flower unique Talent Art or Taion's Lurking Spider Ouroboros Art for completing Burst combos.

Don't equip Smash Arts

If you already Burst the boss from its enraged state, you would want to keep the target in a Launched state for as long as possible by not equipping Smash Arts (like the Lost Vanguard's Mighty Beat). This is to maximize the damage that you can deal while either of the duo is immobilized, especially since the Incursor class gains damage buffs against Launched enemies.
