Dongbaek E.G.O::Spicebush

Turns 1–4, approximately

Win Clashes with strong skills and offset Evades

• Start with Clashes you can win while your SP is low. Blooming reduces SP, making subsequent Clashes harder.
• Offset “Piquant Scent” by targeting it with a faster Sinner's Guard or Evade. This prevents repeated Evades from building up Blooming.
• Flowers begin appearing on turn 3. Handle their attacks alongside Dongbaek's, and build E.G.O resources for dangerous area attacks.

Turns 5–6, approximately

Reduce the flower count before stopping “Magnificent Spring Breeze”

• On turn 5, Dongbaek defends and the flowers are replenished in a grown state. Winning a Clash against “Fully Bloomed” defeats the flower, so use this turn to remove them.
• The following “Magnificent Spring Breeze” gains +5 Final Power per remaining flower. Without flowers it rolls 16–20; with 4 remaining it rolls 36–40.
• After clearing flowers, answer Spring Breeze with strong skills or E.G.O. The normal first-phase pattern has 2 Spring Breeze slots, so assign an answer to both.
• If you defeat flowers on the Spring Breeze turn, those attacks must resolve first. Assign faster Sinners to flowers and slower Sinners to Clash with Spring Breeze.

After transitioning at 50% HP or less

Assign your intended duelist to “Must Cover With Dirt”

• In the second phase, “Must Cover With Dirt” follows a pattern involving Spring Breeze. Reaching the HP boundary early changes the turn timing, so check the enemy's current skill names.
• The Sinner Clashing with “Must Cover With Dirt” becomes the duelist from next turn. Choose someone with high Level and SP who can use strong skills or E.G.O.
• Everyone except the duelist being trapped in flowers at once is part of this mechanic. The rescue method differs from ordinary Blooming captures.

The 2 Clashes during Dueling

Beat “Withering Flower” twice, then attack during Stagger

• The duelist must win 2 Clashes against “Withering Flower”, which rolls 8–11. Dongbaek gains 3 Scattering Petals each time she loses a Clash.
• At 6 or more petals, Dongbaek Staggers at Turn End and your allies are freed. Prioritize winning the duel rather than attacking flowers to rescue them.
• After winning the duel, focus strong attacks on the Staggered Dongbaek. If she survives, continue managing Blooming and Spring Breeze.

What to prepare first

• Aim for Level 35 or higher on your main units, starting with Identities that lose Clashes. Check their skills and passives through Uptie III too.
• The deployment limit is 7. If fewer Sinners are trained, another option is deploying 4–5 and using the extra action slots gained in deployment order. You have fewer actions on turn 1, so still account for attacks left unanswered.
• Prepare 2 Sinners with strong skills or E.G.O for the turn with 2 Spring Breeze slots. Check whether your team's skills supply the necessary Sin Resources.
• If your roster cannot cover the Clashes, consider borrowing a Support Identity. No specific Identity is required to clear this fight.

Main duelist

A Sinner with reliable Level and SP who can win 2 consecutive Clashes using strong skills or E.G.O. Check their remaining skills and resources before the duel starts.

Slash / Pride / Gluttony attacker

Dongbaek takes 1.5× Slash, 2.0× Pride, and 1.5× Gluttony damage. Flowers are also weak to Slash, Pride, and Gluttony. Prioritize winning Clashes before exploiting weaknesses.

Evade offsetter

Use a faster Sinner's Guard or Evade. Instead of attacking with everyone each turn, spend one slot on offsetting to limit Blooming buildup.

Spring Breeze Clash specialist

Prepare high-power skills or E.G.O that can Clash with Spring Breeze after flowers are removed. Avoid spending all necessary resources or SP just to deal damage.

One ally can fill several roles. First choose a main fighter who can win Clashes, then assign responsibilities for dangerous attacks and special mechanics.
