His crystal powers up every turn, from white > yellow > orange > red. Each step reduces the damage he takes more and more until he turns invincible in red. You can shoot the crystal to counter the power ups and even break it, stunning him. It takes a few shots per upgrade level he got, so just keep shooting and it'll break

Genuinely helpful. I appreciate it. I had already beaten Hexga but boy howdy, did it take me a moment to figure out the color of crystals wasn't a phase it was taken but rather he was charging up invulnerability lol.

Most enemys have stuff that can be broken like that cystal or at near the first village the shield guy you can shot his shield of his hand than he get a other attack move that is not aoe and is singeltarget.
you only need to observer you enemys to see that stuff aswell

Not me reloading thinking the game was bugged

This ♥♥♥♥ is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cancer. It becomes basically impossible to keep up with the shields even if you're spending most of your points on shooting the shields/crystal. And then on top of that like a lot of enemies in this game so far, it's hard as ♥♥♥♥ to even see what the ♥♥♥♥ it's doing during it's combo attack. Plus they like to do the Dark Souls 2 ♥♥♥♥ too where like every enemy has these long wind-ups and feints just to make it more annoying. I'm even stacking the luminas I can to get as much Ap as possible

This is sort of a puzzle boss, but he is comically easy once you figure out the trick.

Bring Maelle. Have her equip the "break all shields for 3 AP" skill. Keep free aiming at the giant coloured crystal. Win the match easily.

Yeah it never occurred to me it was going to take multiple shots to "break" the crystals invulnerability, so it took me a bit to figure out what was going on.

Then after eventually losing because I couldn't keep up with the shield spam and making mistakes, I realised the crystal didn't start out orange, and I just hadn't been paying enough attention
After that, the gimmick clicked and the fight became infinitely easier.

That skill saved my ass, just killed it. Completely forgot about that one

mate it's beatable with one character, let alone three

is it a hard fight? yeah, it's a chromatic variant.
