Stats / Weaknesses:

Level: 48
HP: 100,000
Weak to: Nothing

Phases:

Phase 1: Alternis Dim's Standard Attacks
Alternis will open the fight using his signature moves. He has Black Bane, which hits your whole party, and Dark Bane, which targets a single character. These are dark-elemental attacks, so they can be quite damaging if your defenses aren't prepared.
Phase 2: The Minus Strike Threat
As Alternis's HP drops below half, he'll start using Minus Strike. This is a devastating physical attack that guarantees a K.O. on whoever it hits. It's crucial to have a way to deal with this, as it can quickly end your fight if you're not careful.

Strategy:

Mitigate Dark Damage: Equip your healer with a Dark Shield to help them survive Alternis's dark magic. The Spiritmaster's Adaptation ability is also excellent for nullifying his dark-based attacks entirely.
Counter Physical Moves: For his physical attacks like Dark Bane, abilities like the Ninja's Utsusemi (which grants a chance to evade physical hits) or the Knight's Rampart can be very effective. The Spiritmaster's Know Thine Enemy, when paired with Kairai, can also redirect attacks, but remember it won't work against Black Bane.
Survive Minus Strike: When Alternis starts using Minus Strike, you have a few options. The Ninja's Utsusemi can potentially evade it, and the Knight's Rampart can block it. If you have a Time Mage, casting Reraise on a party member before they get hit can automatically revive them. Alternatively, you can use Kairai to force Alternis to target a character who is protected by Utsusemi or Rampart.
Revival Options: If a character does fall to Minus Strike or any other attack, be ready to revive them. A Salve-maker can compound a Phoenix Down and a Potion for a quick revival. A White Mage's Arise spell is also a reliable way to bring back fallen allies. If you want to be extra safe, a Salve-maker can also compound a Font of Life for an automatic revival upon KO, or a Time Mage can cast Reraise.
Post-Battle: Once Alternis is defeated, the party returns to Grandship to check on Airy. The chapter will conclude shortly after, hinting at future events.
