Need some help with Canto 7 final boss

[RomanusKerbalus]

I'm using a sort of cheese duo of W Doncho and Molar Ish, which usually works alright for the fight - I rarely need to restart before the problematic part comes in, even if a mistake or RNG mishap happen.
However, when I reach the phase where the boss summons the horses, I tend to lose pretty quickly. For some reason, the evades in this phase don't happen against the red coins, even though they usually work in previous phases, at least most of the time - even when clashing against these damn pride skills.
Am I making some mistakes, missing some information on dodge mechanics? Do I need to do something else here?

I had to make sure my Evades were targeting the leftmost slot that had the Unbreakable coins, even if it said "One-sided defense"

Basically, targeting with defense skills goes "If the target skill gets activated, use defense skill"

I actually made a discussion thread regarding this, but to summarize:

- Bring only Cinq Don
- If you have it, bring her Fluid Sac E.G.O

Evade attacks with unbreakable coins and you're smooth sailing.

Alright, managed to beat the boss. I guess I just had to be even more careful with unbreakable coins, only clashing against specific attacks that I know will be dodged afterwards, and not these ambigously activating pride 3-coins.

I feel like the unbreakable attacks being AoE AND have no clash lose condition are the single thing that make this boss a real pain to deal with.

Glad you cleared it, buddy! Hope you enjoyed Canto 7.
