It's the first few turns that are rough with Dongbaek, if you can't win against the early clashes, it will eventually snowball into you're sanity being on the red therefore not winning any succeeding clashes.

IDs who generally roll high like NSinclair, Cinq Don, etc. will be preferred just to deal with turns 1-2 with the 7+1+1 AoE sloth skills. Alternatively, NFaust or any other SP healers can get you sorted.

For turn 2, it will be a mix of the 7+1+1 AoE sloth at the front slot, 8+1+1+1 gluttony skill at the middle, and lastly the the 4+2+2 gluttony skill thats really easy to deal with. Once you get past that, you'd be "phase 2" of the fight.

For that section, focus high rolling skills on Dongbaek herself {if none are available, use EGOs} to deal with the 7+1+1 AoE and 7+5 sloth skill. Other skills, either skills 1s or skills that don't roll well will handle clashes with flowers. As a side note, both Dongbaek and the flowers are weak to slash.

Getting rid of the flowers will A} Give you sanity on clash + on kill and B} Prevent Dongbaek from getting coin power on 16+4 AoE Sloth skill that target 7 Slots. You generally can't clash with skills on that AoE except for NSinclair. Most EGOs should be able to win against it, from personal experience though, Snagharpoon, What is Cast, and Odyssey are pretty good against it.

At 50% HP, she will initiate a duel wherein the turn after that everyone, apart from the ID that clashed with the duel, will be turned into flowers. High rolling IDs {again} like NSinclair or Cinq Don as examples can reliably clash with 2 turns of the dueling phase with their skill 2 and 3. But if you don't have any of those available, spamming EGOs is also ok.

Once you win both clashes on that 2 turn dueling phase, Dongbaek will be staggered right after that so ideally the turn where she initiates the duel, save high-damaging skills since she gets protection during that turn anyways.

Generally you should be able to kill her when she gets staggered, but if you weren't be able to be prepared for a 20+5+5+5 AoE Sloth skill that targets 15 slots. EGOs used for the 16+4 AoE should also be fine here unless Dongbaek has a surplus of SP.

Bringing 5 IDs instead of 7 works better most of the time, giving 1 extra skill slot/attack to 2 of your best clashing IDs will make this less of a headache.

Final thing is genuinely don't bring IDs with Sinking or reduce SP on Dongbaek cause if you don't pay attention, you may panic Dongbaek during the dueling and will most certainly ♥♥♥♥ up her AI and just straight up kill you.

Sorry for the long post, thats just what I've compiled in my head after helping two other people on 4-48, who were also stuck :}.

There's two things. You want to minimize the amount of bloom your characters get, and break them out of bushes if they do bloom. There's an attack or two that does more bloom than usual, though I forget which they are. Also I think bloom drops off at 1 stack per turn, so you can get some bloom if you spread it around, just not too much.

The second is eventually she does an attack that forces whoever clashes with it into a duel with her. During the duel, everyone but the sinner you have dueling with her is trapped in one of those bushes. If you win two clashes in a row against her, everyone gets freed and she's staggered. If you lose one of those clashes she nukes you. You ideally want whoever clashes it to be able to use two EGOs with the resources you have on hand so you can guarantee those two clashes are wins.

You can bring an identity from your friends list too if you want to use N-Sinclair or something strong.

Go for Anything that puts fragile(purple shield icon) + Hong Lu + 7 Ryoshu pair. Swash buffs slash damage from Hong Lu's cloud cutter on top of the fragile to the extreme. Took me around 5-6 turns to obliterate the boss
