How to beat Skiron

[Chief Spreading Bull]

I don't much like to ask for advice but I've hit a wall with Skiron, the Deadly Wind boss in the Northern Mountains. Would anyone like to share any tips to beat this guy?

Just being in his vicinity hurts, he has refreshing Apexes so you can't easily chip down his 2,000 MB and his 100% Cold snaps pretty much shut down the standard anti-boss tactic of chaining melee attacks since he retaliates every time. To top it off the Strigandr that accompany you are morons that go nowhere near him.

Isn't it rather the Ice Boss with Cold Snap? In any case, you indeed have to adapt your tactic. I recommand bringing only 1 melee leader with the - Def scroll, then the rest being ranged units. Fire Pichon is especially potent since he has a triple hit. Then only attack the boss from behind so that you don't trigger the Cold Snap Reaction.

Thanks for the help. Pichon's Fire Gloves plus the Defense Down Scroll pretty much demolished him especially with Claudia and Bombbeetles triggered chaining attacks. Once I got him to minus zero defense he folded like wet tissue.

Guys, thank you SO much!
I was trying beat him for three days long!!!
This combo with Pichon's Fire Glove + -DEF Scroll and Claudia with Exploit Scroll, just MELTED Skiron.

I just managed to beat him myself, i used claudia with arcane, peony with fire, and red, along with pheonix, dragonling (fire egg), and lavatoise, acid rain, doom bolt, and haste spells.
The AI on the stigander helpers in this fight is horrendous and needed the haste to even get the wanderer out of the starting area to actually help, the marksman is only able to be of help since his attacks dont provoke reactions, used the lavatoise to continue to power up my guys while working on slowly spreading out, make sure to kill the cubes as they are effectively artillery and you want those gone, killed the right spawning ones with my pheonix while the left side was covered by the stigander wanderer, other than that focus ojn back attacks and def down attacks, peony's EX skill works for that really well, and once skirons defense starts to plummet under 100 Red does massive backstab damage, i think at one point i saw him do over 1700 damage to his behind. the key is to not let him react at all, and if peony can hit him with silence your golden, cause those water summons are just murder. This guy has been the hardest fight by far.
