Sub-Scenario: Sky Knights Unite

Master the Sky Knights Unite sub-scenario in Bravely Default! Learn boss weaknesses, strategies, and item drops for Ominas, Bahamut, Heinkel, and Barras.

Alright, let's tackle this sub-scenario, 'Sky Knights Unite'! It's a bit of a gauntlet, throwing two boss fights at you back-to-back. First up, we've got Ominas and his dragon, Bahamut. Then, if you survive that, you'll face Ominas again, this time with Heinkel and Barras backing him up. Don't worry, we'll get through this!

Boss: Ominas and Bahamut

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Ominas: Level 66, 65,000 HP. Weak to Nothing.
• Bahamut: Level 66, 88,610 HP. Weak to Water and Dragon. Absorbs Fire.

Strategy:

• Ominas will spam elemental magic like Fira and Thunder, and can inflict status effects like Poison, Sleep, and Silence. Bahamut uses Pico Flare for heavy fire damage.
• Ominas will even heal Bahamut with Fira, so don't expect to take Bahamut down easily. The key is that Ominas is the target; defeating him ends the fight.
• The Spiritmaster's Adaptation ability is super useful here. It can make your party absorb damage from Fira, Thunder, and Pico Flare, effectively turning their attacks into healing. Just remember to watch out for their occasional physical hits too.
• If you're feeling brave and have spare turns, you can try to steal Lordly Robes (which boost Mind) from Ominas. It's not essential, but it's a nice bonus if you can manage it.

Boss: Heinkel, Barras and Ominas

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Ominas: Level 66, 90,000 HP. Weak to Nothing.
• Heinkel: Level 66, 70,000 HP. Weak to Lightning.
• Barras: Level 66, 70,000 HP. Weak to Nothing.

Strategy:

• This fight is Ominas again, but this time he's got Heinkel and Barras with him. It's a significant step up in difficulty.
• Heinkel uses Ironclad and Protect Ally, which can soak up damage meant for his buddies. Group-hitting attacks are good for bypassing this. We recommend taking him out first so you can focus your powerful single-target attacks on the others.
• Barras uses Invigorate to boost his attack power, followed by strong normal attacks. When his HP gets low, he'll use Invigorate on everyone, which can be devastating. Either burst him down quickly before he can do this, or be ready with Rampart. Because of this danger, it's often best to leave Barras for last unless you're confident you can defeat them all quickly.
• Ominas is still the same magic-slinging, status-inflicting nuisance. Once Heinkel is dealt with, focus on him.
• Stealing: If you want to steal the gear from these guys, you'll need a lot of patience. Heinkel has a Lustrous Shield (negates Light), Barras has Hadean Claws (Dark damage), and Ominas has another Lordly Robes. Using the Spiritmaster's Stillness can help you steal without taking damage, but be aware that you can still be hit with status ailments.
