Boss Strategy Tips
- Select Relics before starting
- Character leveling is important
- Equip powerful weapons
- Collect Dormant Power
- Equip Talismans
- Prioritize reviving allies if they faint
- Visit Church of Grace to increase Sacred Flasks
Select Relics Before Starting

Before commencing to the field, equip Relics at the Roundtable Hold. Relics have effects that are useful for progressing favorably in battle, so be sure to equip them.
Relics GuideCharacter Leveling is Important

Even just one level up can strengthen your character enough to feel the difference. The Runes needed for leveling up are automatically distributed to all allies, so the key is to cooperate and collect Runes together.
How to Level Up GuideEquip Powerful Weapons

You can sometimes obtain high-rarity weapons from treasure chests or as rewards for defeating bosses. If you obtain a powerful weapon, your attack power will increase significantly, so look for weapons that suit your character before challenging the end-of-day boss.
Weapon Passive Effects Are Also Important
Weapons have 'Passive Effects' that activate just by possessing them. Collect weapons with powerful Passive Effects in addition to the main weapon you are using.
Collect Dormant Power

Dormant Power, obtained as a reward for defeating bosses or Elite Enemies, can strengthen your character upon acquisition. There are many powerful effects such as Status Up, specific attack enhancements, and Enchants, so defeat bosses and collect Dormant Power.
Equip Talismans

You can obtain Talismans from Scarabs in the field or from treasure chests at your base. Talismans have effects useful for battle, so equip them once obtained.
Prioritize Reviving Allies if They Faint

You can revive fallen allies by attacking them. As long as you don't get knocked out, you can continue the night boss battle, so prioritize reviving allies if they are defeated.
Visit Church to Increase Sacred Flasks

Sacred Flasks, used to restore HP, can have their number of uses increased at a Church. If you have time during your field exploration, stop by and upgrade your Sacred Flasks.
