The Automaton is a mechanical boss with high defense and powerful laser attacks. Its weakness is Lightning. This boss often has a shield or barrier that needs to be broken before you can deal significant damage. Focus on using Lightning-elemental B-Artes from Pascal, Hubert, or Malik. Asbel and Sophie should focus on chaining A-Artes to build CC and break the Automaton's guard. Be wary of its laser attacks, which can hit multiple party members. Guarding is essential. If you have any items that boost elemental damage, now is the time to use them. The reward includes Gald, a rare mechanical part, and experience.
