Combat Positions?

[Yiasmat]

Hey there!
I'm currently stuck on a specific boss battle (Dora in Grey) and was reading up on some tips how to beat it since i farmed for quite a few hours now.

In that particular tip, it said: "The combat area is huge this time so spread your party out on the field to avoid most of [Boss Name] multi-target attacks"

This is a joke right?

[MancSoulja]

No, it's not a joke.

I've been playing in the "your party stands in a line with a stale camera" cmobat mode cause it's what i'm used to and prefer in turn based games.

So... you're telling me that that mode just makes the game way harder?
What a stupid design choice...

[MancSoulja]

You chose to use it. it's a choice, you can play the game with as much or as little strategy as you like.

dude it makes no difference moving around the battlefield or don't. Where did you read that there's actually a diference?

MancSoulja is lying. Moving the characters in the free camera mode has NO effect at all on group based attacks (or anything at all). The mode has no gameplay impact, it's only there to allow for a more flexible view!

thank goodness

It doesn't matter where your characters stand. You could move each one to a far corner of the field, and an enemy's AoE attack will hit them just the same.

The "free camera" mode where you can move your guys around the field has absolutely no effect on combat. It's simply there to let you play about with the camera.

Helpful to be at least level 30 for that fight.

[Yiasmat]

yeah i overleveled to 36 now (am playing in hard mode). I really disliked the dungeon as to the fact that you have to straight up walk through it for 4 minutes or so. So i left since the fight seemed completely impossible.
I farmed, went back, it was super easy. A pitty :/

i killed her on hard on 28-30 lvls. The key to win is having good dps ability like multithrust, without it you just get slowly grinded and probably rng'd at some point.

Here's my footage of defeating this boss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7WAp5N48lY

It was rough but thankfully my party managed to pull through. Not nearly as tough as some later bosses though.
