Boss: Gangrel

Learn how to defeat Gangrel, a boss in Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. Get tips on his weaknesses, attacks, and strategies to overcome this challenging Mirage.

Alright, let's talk about the Gangrel fight in Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. He's a Mirage you'll encounter a couple of times, first as a boss in Chapter 2, and then again in Chapter 6 in Illusory Dolhr. He's a bit of a unique case since he's a crossover character from Fire Emblem Awakening, where he was known as the 'Mad King' of Plegia. In TMS#FE, Gangrel is found in Illusory Shibuya, specifically in the Central City District. He's taken over a fashion photographer named Nobu. Even though he looks pretty big, his main thing is messing with people's desires and making them go wild. When you finally beat him, he'll drop the Performa material called Blackguard's Sin. Gangrel's Stats & Weaknesses Gangrel appears as a Level 28 Myrmidon in Chapter 2, and then again as a Level 59 Myrmidon in Chapter 6. His stats are pretty solid, with 160 attack and 70 armor. He's weak to Wk (Weak) attacks from Axe and Electricity, and resistant (Rs) to Force attacks. Gangrel's Skills He's got a few tricks up his sleeve: * Dire Slice: A basic light Phys/Sword attack. * Strobe Pulse: This one can inflict Seal on all enemies, so be ready to cure that if it hits. * Reversal of Fortunes: This is a big one! He summons three Bulwark Barbarians and one Bulwark Myrmidon. You'll want to deal with these adds quickly before focusing back on Gangrel. * Shield me!: This skill makes attacks aimed at him target an ally instead. It lasts until all allies are Unconscious. This can be a bit tricky, so keep an eye on who's taking the hits. * Dire Slice Ultra: A light Phys/Sword attack that hits all enemies. * Axe-Slash: Another Phys/Sword light attack that can trigger Sessions from Axe skills. Strategy Tips When you face Gangrel, remember his weaknesses: Axe and Electricity attacks are your best bet. Try to exploit those with your party's skills and your own equipped weapons. His 'Reversal of Fortunes' skill can quickly overwhelm you if you don't handle the summoned enemies. Prioritize taking out the Bulwark Barbarians and Bulwark Myrmidons first. They can distract you and chip away at your health while Gangrel continues his assault. Also, keep an eye on 'Shield me!'. If he uses that, you'll need to adjust your target focus and make sure your squishier characters aren't taking too many hits. Overall, Gangrel is a tough fight, but by focusing on his weaknesses and managing the adds he summons, you should be able to take him down. Good luck!
