Defeating Simon

[stardustsunday]

Any tips? Do you just up damage so you can hopefully one-shot him without him ever getting to take his turn? Because 1 hit is an insta-kill.

theres couple of ways to do him, theres ofc the 1 shot build " solo character way" or just have a team with good synergy stack 300 burn whilst also dodge / and parry his attacks. i can advice you to the 1st phase of this fight you can parry his stuff, but the second phase you want to dodge. If you need visual confirmation Grimmmz has a 99% parry 0% cheese video on this boss if your looking for tips

with medalum it should be easy even after the nerf. My plan was to break him with monoco for even more damage but he didn't get his turn. Just buff maelle. Equip all first turn dmg pictos you got and 1-hit him. You can farm lumina right at the flag before the tree if you need to.

If you wanna one shot him, it’s 100% still possible. You can also defeat him naturally, but you’re gonna be working on it for a while.

I said this in another discussion. It reminds me of Isshin, the Sword Saint at the end of Sekiro. Was stuck on him for 2 days and I finally got him. Either way, he’s more than possible to overcome.

I simply put a lot of colour of lumina on Maelle and as many offensive lumina as I could. Then solo and one shot him.

165 Lumina for Maelle and 0 Lumina for Sciel and you are ready to go, also remove Roulette as its your first playtrough not NG+
Tho you will have more satisfaction doing it normally instead of one shooting him but its your choice
