Preparation
This is a very specific set up, but I found it's very effective against this boss.
- Recommended party members: Leo, Ez, Tan.
- Unlock Phantom Turns+, Taunt Turns+, Heavy Counter, and Safe Taunt for Leo, you can temporarily remove other skills for SP. "Phantom" and "Taunt" skills are important to keep the boss in check.
- Unlock Mystery Potion, Concentrate Ex, Concentrate Turns+, and Rudy Strike+ for Tan.
- Give Ruby XL and Emerald XL to Leo.
- Equip Large Jade and Hermes' Brilliance on Ez.
- Equip Crystal Quartz and Ruby XL on Tan. "Crystal Quartz" is very important for Tan, it prevents Tan from receiving negative effect when using "Mystery Potion"
Boss: Metal Ribbidon (B-55)
This guy has only 1 regular attack. However, his speed keep increasing, eventually he can attack you 2 turns in a rows. He can also use super buffs on himself which boosts attack, defense, and speed further.
Strategy:
IMPORTANT: First of all, you can't deal damage to him. You'll have to hit him with "Fire" attack 3 times. Leo's "Fire Slash" or Ez "Flame Grenade" will do the job. You'll be able to deal normal damage when his body turns red.
- Ez always keep "Quick All" active at all time, then focus on healing using with "All Potion L v2". If you have free turns, help buffs with "Guard Up All" and "Attack Up All".
- Leo always keeps "Phantom" and "Taunt" skills active. Taunt prevents the boss from attack other members, while Phantom increase your chance dodging boss attack, thus reducing the need for healing. If you have free turns, use "Helm Bash" and "Blade Break".
- Tan repeats this combo in order until the boss die: "Mystery Potion" + "Desperation" + "Rudy Strike Ex".
Reward:
- Majestic Lantern
