Buck Boss Fight

[fuzzymittens23]

Managed to defeat the Pulsating Mass at Shinryu Academy, thanks to the community's suggestions! So thank you so much for that. But now I'm stuck on the next boss fight with Buck on top of the Kawaii tower in Shinryu. I'm lvl 35-32 and would like any helpful tips! Thank you!

After beating him up a while, buck will take flight. Then would be a good time to heal up and possible lob a few magic attacks at him. However, if Buck's "Skin is pulsating", then that means you need to make sure everyone guards themselves well; having lars use undulate and guard instead of counter would absorb most of the damages from that attack. Finally, Buck will take 2 turns to absorb energy and unleash a neigh unstoppable attack; attack him only with physical moves (Buck will absorb any magical moves; far as I know, pulverising light is a physical move), and when he is about to unleashes his pent up energy, make sure to case reflect on Jimmy (vampire move) and have hitomi cast reflect on someone else; lars and helga can block. Buck will heal from the reflected magical attack, but it's better than a party wipe. Hope this helps.
