[spoilers?] who was your team for beating the last boss?

[worstplayer]

Just finished the last boss getting the best ending.

I went with the Elder Warrior on both sets, Siegrid and Uppercut Boi on one and the Fungal Sorcerer and DoT Dragon on the other.

Wore the Crown and spammed all my spirits doing lots of stun and consistant DoT damage while Gerrod's melee and Last Rites cleaned up the fish as they spawned, with a little chasing them down to keep them in check.

Since it's impossible to max out all the spirits without grinding, I was curious on other people's strategy for this fight.

I really enjoyed this game!

Umbral Knight, Gerrod, Faden
didn't really think too much about it, I like the basic knight boi, Gerrod is just really good overall and Faden does quite some damage even unupgraded if all 3 shots hit.

Set 1: Umbral Knight, Guardian Siegrid, Dark Witch Eleine
Set 2: Faden the Heretic, Fungal Sorcerer, Western Merchant

Set 1 was what I used most of the game, set 2 was what I thought would be good against the boss. I also used the crown relic for healing. Set 2 could do decent damage between Faden's regular and up attack and the constant damage from my crow and poison was great. But I couldn't take out the flying enemies fast enough and they would eventually kill me.

Switched back to set 1 (still used fungal sorcerer pretty often) and prioritized keeping the flying enemies to a minimum and eventually beat the boss.

1: Umbral Knight, Sigrid, Tomb Keeper
2: Julius, Verboten Champ, Incompetent Sinner
Equipment prioritizing the SP gauge and damage buffs. The rapid SP gain relic and being able to build up to a second bar makes it so you almost always have a bar to burn.

Sigrid and Tomb Keeper to box with the boss, used Umbral Knight's ult to try and kill the adds whenever the spawn. If one gets away, switch to set two, uppercut the boss and use sinner to dash towards the add. If it's still alive, use Julius' ult if possible to hit both it and the boss.

I don't know the names but I use the Sword dude, Ball and chain girl for the massive knockdown damage and the worm that you throw like a bomb.

Then I used the homing bullet lady, the spider and the arrows for burst damage. I'd probably change out the homing bullet for more burst, but during the playthrough it was nice to have.

[Otomon]

I used maxed out Umbral Knight on both spots, maxed out Floral Sorceress in both, maxed out Western Merchant bird in one and maxed out Wolf (Castle Town Maiden) in other. For relics I had maxed out attack and defense, the heal on hit and increased spirit uses.

The boss became a cake walk, I spammed air attacks (to avoid that one attack he does where a shockwave runs across the screen) combined with Bird support, and whenever he would summon a fish, I used Floral, which would make the fish stagger giving me time to quickly either kill it if my Bird didn't finish it off. If I ran out of Bird I just switched to Wolf to get a few hits in when the fish or boss would fall down. I was attacking so fast that any damage I received was quickly healed back, so didn't even heal once the whole fight during both phases.

My set up may seem overkill... but it felt sooo satisfiying slapping the boss around like a lil @#$%^ after all the suffering I endured with the other bosses... Im not really good at these unbalanced type of games so it took me longer than normal lol

Huh everyone seems to be using Umbral Knight.

I just used Silva with Incompetent Swimmer and Dark Executioner to help with the flying adds in case they are hard to reach, but I probably can do it with just Silva.

I guess I didn't use Umbral Knight because I didn't have him fully upgraded yet.

[just.dont.do.it]

Ulv, Dark Executioner, rest is irrelevant.

Claws' charged attack deal TON of damage against immobile targets (so both Miriel *and* last boss). Dark Executioner is an auto-targetting attack you can simply spam along the main one. Last boss' adds were always dead from either claw attack (as they spawn in the same point you're attacking) or from Dark Executioner. Could've also picked the crow, but I simply didn't bother.
