How to kill Devourer of Stars

[Ghoul]

Hello!

Can somebody give me some tips on how to kill this optional boss? All my characters has their respective Royal Archetypes, but just the other archetypes that are pre-requisites for their Royal ones, nothing more and nothing less, without time to get more hero fruits for A-XP...

Thanks!

I forgot a bit his moveset but I think this was my general strategy. There are probably more effective ways to do it but it went just fine for me.

Royal Thief on Heismay, equip with Dodger Ring.
MC with that one ring that consumes only one turn icon when using synergies.
I used Junah's synergy skill where she grants Charge to everyone. MC with Royal Slash was the damage dealer.
Either buff yourself or debuff him, I forgot which one he dispels.

Sorry, I meant Royal Sword, the synthesis skill for MC.

My strategy was to use a trickster skill to make it vulnerable to an element, then use a damage skill that reapplies that weakness, I think I used the Paladin's synthesis light attack but there are a few options. I like that better than almighty skill strategies because you get turn refunds from hitting weak spots.

The other main behaviours you want to watch out for is that he will reset your buffs, but only if you get three levels of a buff, and reset his debuffs, but only if he has three levels of a debuffs. Thus you can manage when he uses his reset moves and spend most of the fight with a two level buff or debuff advantage. He will also use a dark aoe that instakills anyone with hex, so having hex protection on most if not all characters is good.

If your MC is capable of dealing physical damage, try the following:

Sable Dance -> Blackguard's Hammer -> Blackguard's Hammer -> Blackguard's Hammer...

Rest of the team buffs/debuffs/uses items/skips turns.

Equip gear that gives immunity to Hex.

Having Heismay as a dodge tank trivisializes this fight.

I wouldn't recommend what I've done, but here I go:

Basilio with his Royal Archetype and the contusion skill that ignores resistances.
Additional skills: the one that increases contusion damage by 20% and anything that increases damage. Equipped with the accessory that doubles critical damage.

The rest of the team was MC, Junah and Eupha. Mainly focused on buffing team with Vitalja and debuffing boss with with the skill contrary to Vitalja (forgot the name).

Open with debilitate with junah, then rebellion with eupha, then vitalja with MC on basilio, basilio passes turn to junah to do inferno dance.

Second turn: Eupha Vitalja on Basilio, MC skill that gives more turn icons, Basilio charge, Junah -2 atk and -2 def on dragon, Eupha Vitalja on herself, MC Vitalja on Eupha, Basilio goes off with contusion skill that penetrates defense (13k crit for me), then Junah creates weakness to light on dragon, Eupha fire damage (2k more or less) and MC light damage with prince.

Done in two turns

EDIT:

Forgot to mention, I'm running a Luck only MC so he doesn't do almost any damage lol

I would also heavily recommend bringing a few Sublime Spoonfuls to the battle.

Bring enough of them and he just never gets a chance to do anything. Those things are the ultimate "cheat" item on a NG+ run when you easily have a chance to max everything and still have tons of days to spare fishing.
