Strategy:
Shadow Mitsuo is a unique boss with two distinct phases that require different approaches.
Phase 1 (8-bit Armor): Mitsuo is encased in an 8-bit armor shell. This shell is immune to all damage except for a specific number of hits. You need to hit him with 10 attacks (any type, physical or magical) to break the shell. Once the shell is broken, he becomes vulnerable.
- Focus on using multi-hit physical skills (e.g., Swift Strike, Rampage) or low-cost elemental spells to quickly rack up hits and break the shell.
- Don't waste powerful single-hit skills on the shell.
Phase 2 (Vulnerable): Once the shell is broken, Mitsuo is vulnerable. He will use various elemental attacks, Almighty skills (Megidola), and can inflict status ailments like 'Poison' and 'Silence'.
- Unleash your strongest physical attacks (especially with Power Charge) and elemental spells.
- Keep your party healed with Yukiko or Teddie.
- Use buffs (Tarukaja, Matarukaja, Sukukaja, Marakukaja) and debuffs (Tarunda, Rakunda) to gain an advantage.
- He can rebuild his shell after a few turns, so be prepared to break it again. The number of hits required to break the shell might increase slightly each time.
Rewards:
