Weaponry Trial III (Lv.70) Strategy Points

Defeat Floating Rocks Every Turn

In Weaponry Trial III, you need to defeat the summoned "Floating Rock" enemies that appear at the end of the boss's turn or when it uses [Omen of Doom]. The Floating Rocks not only perform Ranged attacks but also have effects like reducing the boss's DMG Taken and increasing the damage of certain attacks, so leaving them alone will often lead to defeat.

High-Maneuver Seekers are Recommended

Use high movement Seekers like Col to quickly dispatch Floating Rocks. If you can't reach them all, we recommend using Tactical Skills like "Maneuver Command" or "Pursuit Order".

Prepare a Way to Dispel Buffs

Each time a Floating Rock is defeated, the buff "Sacrifice Ritual," which increases the boss's M.ATK by 4%, will stack. If not dispelled, the damage you take will continuously increase, so prepare a way to dispel buffs using character skills or Gear.

Include Characters with High M.DEF

To counter [Omen of Doom], which deals high damage to the character with the highest M.DEF, include "characters with high M.DEF" or "characters who can protect allies from M.ATK". It's also important to reduce the damage taken with Gear and buffs/debuffs.

Destroy the Misfortune Cohesion Shield

[Misfortune Cohesion] grants a Magical Shield the first time, and a Physical Shield the second time, then deals AoE damage after preparing for 1 turn. This damage increases the more Shield remains, so include characters who can deal high damage with the corresponding attack type to reduce the damage taken.

Decide on a Strategy for the Shield

Either form a balanced team with characters focused on P.ATK and M.ATK, or aim to break the Shield with one powerful attacker using buffs/debuffs. It's also possible to use Tactical Skills like "Pursuit Order", so it's important to decide in advance how you will handle it.

Survive [Apocalypse] Using Buffs/Debuffs

Surviving [Apocalypse], which deals high damage in a wide 3-tile target area, is of utmost importance. Dispatching all Floating Rocks is not enough; you must also make full use of buffs/debuffs to endure the attack.

Include a Healer

Unless you're aiming for a quick battle, including a character with healing skills is essential. It's important to include characters who can not only heal but also take on other roles, such as applying buffs/debuffs.

Weaponry Trial III (Lv.70) Sample Parties

Our Clear Party

Col Floating Rock counter	Gloria Attacker/Buffer	Edda Attacker/Support
Beryl Attacker	Cocoa Healer/Support	ｰ

Although "Beryl" is the only one who can perform M.ATK, thanks to powerful buffs/debuffs from "Edda" and the Tactical Skill "Pursuit Order", she can destroy the Magical Shield by herself. For countering Floating Rocks, we use "Col" who has very high Maneuver, and for the healer, we've included "Cocoa" who has powerful buffs and a Vulnerable debuff.
