Enemies

Imperial Captain

Shield-bearing soldier that requires charged attacks or flanking to break guard.

Iron Council

Heavy mini-boss wielding a massive cleaver; attacks with slow, high-damage telegraphed swings.

Chirada

A winged avian summon that attacks rapidly from the air using Wind magic and swooping dives.

Suparna

An avian construct paired with Chirada; casts area-of-effect spells that coordinate with Chirada's physical dashes.

Benedikta Harman

Major boss fight that transitions from human form casting Aero spells to a partially Primed aerial combat phase.

Tips

  • Use Cid's lightning-based abilities and Clive's Phoenix Shift to quickly close the distance on ranged spellcasters stationed along the battlements.
  • During the tag-team battle against Chirada and Suparna, focus all attacks on one target first to halve the incoming threat.
  • When Benedikta uses aerial projectile barrages, stay on the move and rely on Precision Dodges rather than counter-attacking immediately.
