Universal Boss Tips

  • Level up gear, Personas, and reveal sets before entering boss rooms. Aim for the recommended level each palace.
  • Maximize elemental coverage (Fire, Ice, Electric, Bless, Curse), rotate team if you encounter resistances (Delta Gaming).
  • Manage SP and healing: Long boss fights require strong sustain (Marian, Cattle, Morgana).
  • Debuff and cleanse regularly: Most later bosses inflict debilitating debuffs or buffs on themselves.
  • Use All-Out Attacks after break/Down Gauge for max damage. Beware freezing issues—don’t spam attack too fast (Game8).
  • Team adaptivity: Don’t hesitate to rotate in Joker/Wonder for elemental flexibility and clutch All-Out finisher.
