Phases:

1. The Fake is a single-phase boss fight.

Strategy:

• For this fight, I recommend a party of Lloyd (you), Raine, Genis, and Kratos.
• If you're using Kratos, deactivate all his attacks except for Fire Ball and Wind Blade (if you have it). This helps him focus his damage.
• As soon as the battle begins, set your party to the "All out" strategy by pressing -> on the D-pad. This makes them aggressive.
• Position yourself (Lloyd) in front of the Fake. Guard frequently and use the Guardian skill when you can. This draws its attention and protects your casters.
• Kratos and Genis will stay at a distance, using their magic to attack the Fake.
• Raine's role is crucial: keep her focused on healing the party, especially you, to ensure everyone stays alive.
• By following this strategy, you should be able to defeat the Fake quickly and efficiently.
