Ba'al Diamante

Learn the best strategies and weaknesses to defeat the powerful Ba'al Diamante in Bravely Second. This guide covers its attacks, resistances, and recommended tactics.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Level: 57
• HP: 40000
• Weakness: Dark, Demon

Phases:

1. Diamante uses Mirror Reflection to reflect damage back at your party. Its Mirror percentage starts at 100% and decreases by 20% with each attack.
2. Each turn, Diamante uses Mirror Stage 1 to increase its Mirror percentage by 20%.
3. Once Diamante's Mirror percentage drops to 0%, attacks will hit normally.
4. Diamante has zero physical defense and is weak to Dark elemental attacks and swords.
5. Upon reducing Diamante's HP to zero, it will recover all HP for a second bout.

Strategy:

• To break through the Mirror quickly, have physical attackers use Dual Wield to double the number of attacks. Equip the Dual Wield ability if the character is not a Ninja to maintain attack power.
• To avoid taking damage from reflected attacks, equip characters with weapons that deal elemental damage (e.g., Excalibur, Air Knife) or use the Hawkeye's Warhead ability to infuse an element. Cast Elemental Barrier Mist to negate elemental damage for your party.
• If elemental barriers are not possible, equip weak weapons initially and switch to stronger ones using the Item command after the Mirror is broken.
• Diamante's attacks include Dispel (removes buffs), Scintillation (multiple random hits), Brilliancy (light-based damage), and Dispersion (damages a character and prevents them from using anything but Default or Summon Friend for several turns).
• If a key character like a healer is affected by Dispersion, consider biding your time or assigning a backup healer.
• Focus on strong physical attacks due to Diamante's zero physical defense. Use Dark elemental attacks (e.g., Darkhead) to exploit its weakness. Swords are also effective.
