Boss: Praline a la Mode

  • Level: 32
  • HP: 40,000
  • Weak to: None

Praline is accompanied by a Black Axefighter and a Black Blade. Praline uses Love Power to boost party attack and One More For You to increase an ally's BP. The Black Axefighter uses Shell Split to lower defense, and the Black Blade uses Edge of Madness to inflict Confuse.

Strategy:

  • The bodyguards are weak to lightning. Use Thundara or Crescent Moon charged with Thundara.
  • Build BP for the first few turns, then use group-hitting moves to defeat the bodyguards in one turn.
  • Heal your party and Default on the turn Praline summons new bodyguards. Defeat the new bodyguards on the following turn and repeat the cycle.
  • If damage is insufficient, Default for an extra turn to gain more BP.
  • Consider stealing Star Pendants (negates poison) from Praline and her bodyguards after the first wave, though they can be purchased in Ancheim.
