Best Teams for Path of the Proxy III

Best F2P Team and Bangboo

Best F2P Team Bangboo
Anby Anby Billy Billy Nicole Nicole Bagboo Bagboo

For F2P teams, Anby, Billy, and Nicole are perfectly fine to use as is even though the recommended element is Ether.

For Bangboos, Bagboo is a great addition to the team since it contributes to increased chain attack damage as long as there is one Attack Agent, Billy.

  1. Bring Ether Characters
  2. Inflict Daze to Stun Enemies
  3. Focus on One Enemy at a Time
  4. Parry Farbauti's Continuous Attacks

Bring Ether Characters

Path of the Proxy III - Bring Ether Characters
We recommend bringing Ether characters like Nicole to exploit the Ether weakness of the enemies in Path of the Proxy III. You can bring elements other than Ice since the Ionized enemies resist it.

List of All Ether Characters

Inflict Daze to Stun Enemies

Path of the Proxy III - Inflict Daze to Stun Enemies
Inflicting Daze and stunning enemies is key to interrupting their actions. It also makes it easy to land all your attacks, especially against the Dullahan.

Attribute Anomaly Debuffs

Focus on One Enemy at a Time

Path of the Proxy III - Focus One Enemy at a Time
Both the Farbauti and Thanatos have chunky HP bars and can take a lot of Daze to be stunned, so focus on one of them at a time. Once you've taken one out, you can freely focus on the other.

Parry Farbauti's Continuous Attacks

Path of the Proxy III - Parry Farbauti
Some of Farbauti's attacks are continuous which can deal heavy damage to your active character. You can parry this at the start and continuously do so to inflict massive Daze against it and take no damage!

If you don't have Perfect Assists left, utilize Perfect Dodges instead to dodge and deal damage.
