Phases:

1. Maxwell has one main phase, but his attacks are varied and dangerous.

Strategy:

• Maxwell might seem like just an old man at first, but he's actually the most powerful Summon Spirit you'll face. He's got some nasty tricks up his sleeve, including Meteor Swarm and Dreaded Wave, plus some solid physical attacks.
• His Meteor Swarm attack is particularly terrifying because it can wipe out your entire party. Seriously, it's that powerful.
• Your primary strategy here is to block as much as possible and just hope you survive the onslaught.
• Crucial Tip: Right before Maxwell finishes casting Meteor Swarm, quickly command Raine to use Revitalize. This is your lifeline and will save your party from a total KO.
• Even though he has a hefty 60,000 HP, don't get discouraged. Keep up the pressure, and you'll eventually bring him down.

After you defeat Maxwell, he'll grant you the power to control matter itself. Nice job!
