How to Beat Ruthless

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

  1. Focus on one enemy first
  2. Disable their dodging abilities

Focus on One Enemy First

Focus on one enemy first.jpg

You'll go against two enemies in this fight, both having 1,500 attack. You'd want to focus on taking down one of them first since it will be really difficult especially if both of them enter Over Limit mode at the same time.

Disable Their Dodging Abilities

Disable fleet foot.jpg

Both of them are fleet-footed enemies, meaning they can perform an evasive maneuver and be invulnerable for a moment. Disable this ability using Dohalim's boost attack.

Check their status first by holding L1 (for PS4/PS5) to see if they regained their dodging abilities before using Dohalim's boost attack again. You'll know if their ability is disabled if the fleet-footed icon is blocked.

Recommended Party Setup for Ruthless

Alphen ImageAlphen

Rinwell ImageRinwell

Shionne ImageShionne
Lv. 37

Use boost attacks

Alphen's boost attack can achieve a boost break everytime unless they're in Over Limit mode. Dohalim's boost attack can also achieve a boost break only if their fleet-footed ability is active.

Remember that you can still use Dohalim's boost attack even if he's not in your combat party.

Switch between Rinwell and Dohalim

Bring Rinwell along if you need more damage but if you find the battle difficult, switch out Rinwell with Dohalim for an additional healer/support that can deal decent damage.

Main damage dealer

Try to maintain Law's Awakening to increase damage output. Cast Steel beforehand to increase it even more. Unlock the Mid-Air Evasion skill from the skill panel so you can dodge their attacks in case your combo brings you airborne.

Use boost attack for instant boost break

Alphen's boost attack can always boost break his target as long as it's not in Over Limit mode. Use his boost attack if their dodging ability is already disabled and you need an opportunity to get a few hits in.

Keep aggro away from Shionne

Same as Rinwell, keep aggro away from Shionne as she's your main healer. Equip her with an accessory with Decrease Aggro L skill as well and try to avoid controlling her unless you're used to her moveset.

Ruthless Attack Patterns

Fireball

Releases a fireball straight ahead. In Over Limit mode, both of them can release multiple fireballs in quick succession.
