Who thinks the Iron witch is just staight up annoying?

[Lux Arcadius™]

I have been fighting this boss for 2 hours now, the constant and high health healing is just completely breaking the fight, plus the freaking helpers have almost a miniboss health bar. Anyone here thinks the bots should be health nerfed?

[Prometheus0000]

I had to come back later. She's definitely the hardest boss so far. The healer wasn't that annoying though, I just broke them with the drill thing.

Save your attuner abilities (left trigger) for the healbots, the fist one creates a wide pillar of light that deals high damage and gives you i-frames, it should one shot them. Try to position it so that you hit both the boss and the healer.

Also, the fireballs are tricky to dodge, just parry them instead.

So far, this is most ridiculous boss for me. Evade ton of simultaneous attacks, some of attacks do a lot of DoT damage (and you can't even pay attention to that because of evading other attacks), and the healing bot is just a cherry on a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cake.

[Senki]

yeah she was really annoying but it didn't take me too long to beat

I definitely think the bots should have a nerf to the health, even if i can keep interrupting the heal they're still way too tanky to kill

[lentinant]

Ok, I was annoyed before discovering her 3rd phase. And 3rd phase is even more stuff to evade simultaneously. Great.

[lentinant]

Ok, parrying fireballs was definitely useful. Do not sleep on RT.

Phase 3 seemed like the safest phase. She stops summoning the healing bot and most of her attacks are slow ones you can easily dodge or counter.

Definitely don't ignore the fact you can have two different counters.

Yolvan's Skill 1 is really useful for tough fights, try using it to deal break damage and then bursting her down.

If you have Luiseach's Carapace, consider using it, as she has plenty of attacks to parry (though it can be a bit risky).

As for the bots, you don’t really have to kill them, just stagger them, and you’re cool.

Here’s my video of the fight for reference. Hope it helps!

I simply can't get her health to go down that fast, and when I get 1/5 of her health after 1.5-2 minutes maybe, then she pretty much heals back to nearly full, even if I manage to kill that bot. What kind equipment and upgrades you had? Well, anyway there is difficulty mode to make it easier, as I've already gone through all the other areas so far available and I don't have any ability upgrades available at this point, as I've got that number 7. or whatever ninja waiting in other direction and this witch... and I've got pretty much all the rooms blue.

[Prometheus0000]

Number 7 is way easier, plus luiseach is, as far as I can tell, optional. Just come back later if it frustrates you.

I had no problem with her. I think I did her 2nd try. I took the humunculi who sits on the chair and stays there constantly for the health bots and also the attuner abilities to focus them.

[Sgt.JESUS]

I used the owl for auto attack so i can concentrate on parrying her fireballs, use the carapace that shoots back two projectiles at her face once you parry, with that the fireballs are great, kill the bot fast, use scythe to reach her up there without jumping, use relics that give resistance to status and go full defense, worked for me.

[<:)]

funnest boss so far. spamming the healing carapace on fireballs makes this boss a joke lol

[Yami no Zero]

I'd beaten her at level 1 only, New Game Plus (chapter 16) with MAX DIFFICULTY!
Some tips for ye ;v

Even if you go directly for Luiseach, you still have the Leto's 3rd ability (one that shoots diagonally in the air), and this one is very much a direct counter to her - her positioning makes it easy to hit her with every shot and often with a full salvo as well.
By the last phase you can just stay away and finish her with ranged abilities.

And if you go to the city first, then healing carapace makes her very trivial, you can easily heal off fireballs.
