Alright, let's talk about the Louis Guiabern fight on the Opera House rooftop. Honestly, it's pretty straightforward, no real curveballs here, so you should be able to handle it.

Stats / Weaknesses:

Louis is neither weak nor strong to any elements. Go with what you've got!

Phases:

Louis starts the battle at half health.

Strategy:

Since Louis starts at half HP, you've already got an advantage. You can set up your party before the fight, but remember you can't change their gear or Archetypes once it begins.
Pay attention to his turn order. He'll always start a turn with 'Soul Cry,' which gives him two extra Turn Icons. This means he gets three actions per turn.
His main attack is 'Royal Slash,' which hits one character twice for medium physical Slash damage. This can really sting if he focuses on one person.
He also has 'Royal Coercion,' a debuff that lowers a single character's Attack and Defense by two ranks for three turns. If you don't have a way to counter debuffs, this can make things tougher. Consider bringing Dekunda to clear debuffs or Marakukaja to buff your own stats back up.
While the Attack debuff just prolongs the fight, you might want to try debuffing Louis' hit rate or evasion to make his attacks miss more often.
Because his only real attack is single-target, you can try a bit of a cheese strategy. Put a Knight with the 'Knight's Proclamation' skill in the back row. Knights resist Slash attacks, so this skill can essentially 'coerce' Louis into targeting them. You'll need to keep that Knight healed up, but it frees your other party members to focus purely on offense.
Remember, he's not weak to anything, so use whatever damage you're comfortable with.

After this fight, get ready for a bunch of cutscenes. You'll eventually get your final party member and be able to explore Altabury a bit. Make sure to disembark from the runner and then get back on it to continue the story. After that, resting will trigger even more story scenes, and then... another boss awaits!
