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.

Destroy Comet Debris with Voltage Shock

Destroy the "Comet Debris" objects placed by "Smashing Comet" with the Voltage Shock applied to your characters. By adjusting your character's positions, it's possible to destroy multiple "Comet Debris" at once, so position them appropriately to fight efficiently.

Note!	Comet Debris are dangerous since they reduce surrounding characters' P.DEF by 20%, and they also detonate and deal damage. Knocking them away or destroying them makes handling this fight easier.

Include a Healer in Your Formation

Unless your Power significantly exceeds the boss's, including a character with healing skills is essential. Also, rememeber to be careful not to use Ranged attacks, regardless of which character it is, even the healer.

Weaponry Trial II Sample Parties

Example Legendary Party

Maitha Furious Wallop Tank	Garcia Attacker	Gloria Buffer/Attacker
Magnus Debuffer/Attacker	Samantha Healer	ｰ

This is an example formation with Legendary characters. Reduce damage taken with debuffs and buffs, while Samantha heals the damage from Furious Wallop and Voltage Shock. The boss has a lot of HP, so the battle tends to be long, which makes Garcia's Trait shine.

Example F2P Party

Maitha Furious Wallop Tank	Rawiyah Attacker	Might Attacker
Butterfly Buffer/Healer	Angel Buffer/Healer	ｰ

This is an example formation using only free and low-rarity characters. Maintain your characters' HP with two healers while attacking with two attackers.
