Goresby-Purrvis (Tower of Trades)

Recommended Level: 12-14

Party Setup: Hero (Minstrel/Warrior), Warrior, Priest, Mage

Attacks:

  • Normal Attack: Single target physical damage.
  • Frizz: Single target fire spell.
  • Kasap: Lowers the defense of all party members.
  • Decelerate: Lowers the agility of all party members.

Strategy: Goresby-Purrvis is a more challenging foe who combines physical attacks with magic and debuffs. His 'Kasap' spell can be particularly dangerous, as it makes your entire party vulnerable. Have your Priest ready to cast 'Midheal' frequently. If your Warrior has 'Helm Splitter', use it to counter 'Kasap' by lowering Goresby-Purrvis's defense. Your Mage should continue with 'Frizz' or 'Crack'. The Minstrel can use 'Oomph' on your main damage dealer or 'Accelerate' to counter 'Decelerate'. Consider having your Warrior use 'Foresight' to boost their own defense if 'Kasap' is proving too problematic. Focus all your damage on Goresby-Purrvis, and don't let your HP drop too low, especially after he casts 'Kasap'. This fight emphasizes the importance of managing debuffs and maintaining consistent healing.
