Weaponry Trial II Strategy Points

Do Not Use Ranged Attacks

In Weaponry Trial II, every time the Magician is hit with a Ranged attack, he negates 40% of the DMG, gains a stacking 20% ATK buff and applies [Voltage Shock], making the stage much more difficult to clear. Therefore, you should only challenge this boss with Melee or AoE attackers.

AoE Attacks are Fine

Even attack skills used from a distance, such as Gloria's [Lance of Longinus] or Beryl's [BOOOOOM!], are fine as long as they deal AoE damage and do not target the boss directly.

Tank Furious Wallop with P.DEF

We recommend designating a character with high P.DEF or damage reduction skills to take the hit from "Furious Wallop", which deals massive damage to the farthest character. The Magician uses this on turn 2 for the first time, and then repeats the same action every 3 turns, so make sure to have an adequately durable character take this attack.

Position Units with Voltage Shock Mindfully

Characters afflicted with the "Voltage Shock" debuff from "Shackles of Fate" will receive Piercing DMG equal to 60% of their Max HP in a cross-shaped area centered on themselves at the end of the turn. Getting hit by two Voltage Shocks at the same time is a guaranteed death, so be mindful not to overlap their AoEs.

Prioritize Attacking Potent Comet Debris

The 'Potent Comet Debris' object placed by 'Smashing Comet' not only has the troublesome effect of lowering P.DEF by 30%, but it also deals Piercing DMG equal to 80% of HP in a 5-tile radius when hit by the boss's attack or a Voltage Shock. Prioritize destroying or pushing the Comet Debris away over attacking the boss.

Utilize AoE Damage and Knockback

If it takes several characters and too much time to destroy a single Comet Debris, clearing within the turn limit will be difficult. Prepare methods like AoE attacks, knocking them off the map with knockback, or ways to move the Comet Debris. It's important that your party can handle the debris with minimal effort.

Include a Healer in Your Formation

If you're not trying to clear the stage within a specific number of turns, including a dedicated healer is essential. However, a character who only heals might not provide enough damage output or utility. Therefore, it's important to include characters who can fill multiple roles, such as applying buffs/debuffs or handling [Furious Wallop].

Weaponry Trial II (Lv. 70) Sample Parties

Our First Time Clear Party

Cocoa Handles Furious Wallop	Guzman Attacker/Debuffer	Gloria Buffer/Attacker
Magnus Support/Attacker	Simona Buffer/AoE Damage	ｰ

This is an example clear formation from our guide team, used right after the content was released. To handle [Furious Wallop], we used Cocoa, who can also provide party-wide healing and buffs. The rest of the team consists of attackers who can also apply buffs and debuffs, allowing for a balanced strategy. Magnus can move the Comet Debris, making it possible to hit them all at once with subsequent AoE damage.
