3 things to understand first
- Don Quixote must be in the initial deployment. Bring 6 Sinners plus 6 reserves, HP and SP recovery, and high-Power to beat area attacks.
- Winning against an Unbreakable area attack still leaves . Heal beforehand and check action order so a clasher is not ed before their other clashes.
- Do not leave Sinners at 30% HP or below. The instant-kill skill cannot be redirected; the targeted Sinner must win, or be healed before the hit.
GUIDEKeys to the fight
Turn numbers indicate a typical sequence. HP loss and Stagger can change the order, so also check the names of the skills the enemy is using.
Find a response based on how you lost
- Everyone dies despite winning the area clash
- Unbreakable hits still inflict . Winning does not mean taking no damage. Heal before the big attack, then check how many s Sinners can roll with the remaining .
- An expected clash became an unopposed attack
- A Sinner ed by an earlier area attack cannot execute later clashes. Check area-attack order and the clasher's ; reassign if needed.
- Unable to move a red targeting line to another Sinner
- cannot be redirected. The low-HP target must win, or receive healing first to rise above 30% HP.
- The Barber keeps healing and will not die
- She drains HP when hitting targets with . Winning the clash suppresses this healing even if s remain. Beat dangerous attacks rather than simply trading hits.
Before deployment
Prepare recovery and reserves; do not leave HP low
- Choose 6 Sinners including Don Quixote, aiming for the recommended Lv.48 and III or higher. Don Quixote cannot be a reserve. Set 6 reserves too so the team can keep fighting after losses.
- Check Slash resistance and resistances against Lust and Gluttony area attacks. Lust and Gluttony are effective for damage too.
- Prepare HP and SP recovery and a strong area-attack clasher. Save healing skills and resources for before the big attack.
Opening–Turn 3
Build SP and avoid bonuses against the Sewing Target
- Start with winning clashes to raise allied SP. “” also heals the enemy's SP On Use, so predictions may differ from last turn.
- “” gains +5 Power against the . Have another fast Sinner intercept it and protect low-HP allies.
- Unopposed hits on Sinners with let her drain HP. Win clashes against Unbreakable attacks too to suppress healing.
Turn 4 area attack / later big attacks
Heal first, win the area clash, then survive the hits
- Use a strong against “” Losing lets the first 3 s forcibly activate , so prioritize winning.
- Even after a win, the first 3 s still inflict . Heal all targets beforehand, including additional targets, and check whether they can survive subsequent attacks while ing.
- and targets change Before Attack. Do not assume safety from the initial targeting lines. Check actual action order so an earlier area attack does not another clasher.
40% HP or below
Deal damage before further buffs and avoid instant-kill conditions
- In the latter half, the Barber gains and Scissorblades each turn. Focus attacks during and avoid unnecessarily prolonging the fight.
- A Sinner at 30% HP or below enables an instant-kill attack that cannot be redirected. Win with that Sinner or heal them above 30% HP before it hits. Do not rely on effects that keep HP at 1.
- If a deployed Sinner falls, a reserve enters next turn. Check the replacement's SP and resistances, and recover using your remaining healers and high-Power skills.
