Part 57

Super Boss BTs: To complete Battle Trophies (BTs) that require defeating a super boss with a specific attack type, you must land at least 50 hits of that type with controlled characters. Once this quota is met, the AI can handle the rest. It is recommended to have at least one invincible fighter, with two being ideal in case a character is killed by Star Guard. Mirage and Fayt are top choices due to their high DFP (Defense Power), which can be quadrupled using BoPs (Blueprints of Power). Against Lenneth, you can use any fighter if Berserk is turned off and Protection is used. Max Fury is highly recommended when Berserk is off.

Magic Casting: It does not matter if you cast magic from the menu or set it as battle skills.

Battle Skill BTs: You cannot obtain battle skill BTs by using Charge or Aerial (or magic).

Stun Bombs: If using stun bombs, only use those that do not inflict damage, such as Duck Duck Bomb and Sleeping Gas.

MP: 700,000

ATP (Attack Power): 3,500

DFP (Defense Power): 100

Experience: 250,000

Fol (currency): 625,000

Normal attack (U): 2.0x HP, 0.1x MP, approximately 35 hits maximum, large area. Effect: Confusion.

Normal attack (anti-back): 2.0x HP, 0.1x MP, approximately 20 hits, small area. Effect: Confusion.

Lightning Strike: Approximately 2000 pod damage, 7 hits. Avoid with a well-timed sidestep (a dodge move).

Stone Rain: Approximately 1000 pod damage, 6 hits, large area.

Nibelung Valesti (U): 4.0x HP, 0.3x MP, approximately 5 - 20 hits, huge area. The spear itself deals damage on contact before the main blast. You take fewer hits the farther you are from the center of the blast. High HP characters at full health might survive near the center if their Blue Talisman (an accessory) activates.

Phase 2 (<30% HP): Lenneth adds Nibelung Valesti to her attack rotation and removes Stone Rain.

Strategy Against Lenneth: Set all characters to Manual mode. Attack only when you have a clear opening, such as when she is casting a spell, after her normal blockable attack (which you can get behind her to avoid), or after hitting her with Thunder Flare. Recommended skills include Infinity Kick, Mirror Slice, Air Raid, Kaboom, Hand of Doom, Raging Helmet, and Max Shockwave.

Attack Connectivity Issues: Many moves may have trouble connecting due to Lenneth's small size and force resistance. Air Raid, for example, might only connect for two hits.

No Guard Skill: While useful, No Guard is less effective here due to the Fury damage from her regular blockable attack. In NTSC versions, consider dropping No Guard for characters like Fayt or Roger in favor of faster cancel fodder, as skip cancel is not available.

Phase 2 Strategy: Openings become rarer as Lenneth uses Nibelung Valesti more frequently. Brute force is recommended: keep reviving your fighter(s) and attempt to interrupt Nibelung Valesti. Peppita, Roger, and Nel should prioritize interrupting it immediately, while others should focus on knocking her out of the air. Alternatively, consistently use Thunder Flare. Keep the fight contained in a corner while one character stays in the opposite corner.

Mugging the Valkyrie Garb: You can attempt to mug the Valkyrie Garb from Lenneth if multiple characters can equip it. However, there is little content remaining, and one character will be unable to fight effectively. It is highly recommended to create a copy of your save file before attempting this.

Loot Item for Valkyrie Garb: Loot Item works best with Nel's Fuujin skill due to an attribute transfer bug. Set Loot Item to SR Confirm and Fuujin to SR Cancel. Stun Lenneth to create an opening, initiate Fuujin, and hit her with a Confirm normal attack. If you manage to float her during a normal attack, there is approximately a 3% chance of obtaining the drop. You can usually block her after an attempt. It is advisable to have 100+ stun bombs. Using Thunder Flare also works. Leveling up Loot Item is slow and unnecessary. If you do not obtain the Valkyrie Garb before she begins using Nibelung Valesti, reload your save file and try again. If you get one quickly, you can try for a second, as Loot Item can work up to twice on a single enemy, though this may take hours.

Alternative to Nel: If you do not have Nel, use Maria's Gravity Bullet. This is less effective unless you float Lenneth with Homing first.

Valkyrie Garb Stats: The Valkyrie Garb is not significantly more powerful than the Dragon Leather but increases HP and MP by 30%. Mirage, Nel, Maria, and Peppita can equip it.

Alternative Strategy (Sophia): A simple and effective method is to use stun bombs followed by Sophia's (or Adray's) LR normal attack or Energy Burst. With max ATP, Echo +2, and Increase MP Damage, you can deal approximately 21,000 MP damage per attack. This method prevents Lenneth from retaliating. Approximately 40 stun bombs are needed.

Sophia's Max ATP Weapon: Customize a Laser Weapon with five ATP +500s, one BoA (Book of Ancients), and a Berserker's Pendant.

Increase MP Damage (IMPD) Leveling: Leveling IMPD is not necessary as it provides minimal benefit. Level 1 gives Sophia a 0.6x multiplier, while Level 10 offers only a 0.7x multiplier, resulting in about 25,000 MP damage instead of 21,000.
