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

increases despite winning: “” and “” become Unbreakable if the target lacks . Win with a Sinner carrying to stop the attack. Sinners with gain Count simply by using basic attacks; choose or defense instead.
One hit starts repeated area attacks and wipes the team: From Phase 2, a follow-up triggers After Attack if the main target has at least 5 . The final phase's Pride skill applies 2 even after a clash win, so switch its main target to a Sinner with 2 or less. The follow-up itself is Unclashable, cannot be redirected, and does not activate defense.
Staff are stronger than predicted and I cannot finish them: The body's support halves staff HP and gives them +5 and Rampage. Even at low HP they take 50% less damage and can strengthen beyond the initial clash prediction. Focus area damage on their arrival turn and kill them before their Wrath skills.
I cannot win the late major clashes: Sinners who lost cannot trigger −3 Power on the major skill. Early converts the recipient's into , and the Pride skill also removes it from the main target. Do not rotate everyone through these attacks; preserve holders for the end.
Memories reached 5 but the fight did not end: At 5, the enemy changes to a single Gluttony skill. Win that clash with a holder too. The following turn, it stops resisting; victory occurs at that turn's end. Do not simply defend and wait immediately upon reaching 5.

Before battle

Prepare Customer Lv. 65 and resources for major clashes

Shop toward Customer Lv. 65 and Diamond rank. Check missed shops and vending machines rather than farming experience outside. Use the available deployment slots and keep survivors alive until the end.
Prepare high-Power , or Power debuffs, area damage for staff, HP recovery, and Shields. Do not assume a clash is winnable based only on its maximum before modifiers.
In the preceding encounter, dash or evade attacks and repeatedly attack to escape grabs. If HP is low, retreat and kill replenishing minor enemies to heal. Reducing the body to 3,000 HP starts the dungeon battle.
Meursault's provides support and +2 resources matching a used skill's affinity, twice per turn. This battle also grants him +3 Final Power. Use him for resources and early Memory-gaining clashes.

Action selection order each turn

Check Bleed, L'Abject, and the Shared with Pwie holders to preserve

First check Sinners' , , and . Avoid repeated basic attacks with ; switch to or defense. This prevents basic attacks from increasing Count, but does not remove existing .
Next, assign strong clashes to Sloth skills that apply . Win against “” and “” with Sinners carrying .
The three Lust slots using “” apply but not . If strong skills are limited, prioritize -building attacks and Memory-gaining clashes first.
Finally, focus spare attacks on staff. When a is present, check whether extra attacks or follow-ups might trigger it early. Do not resolve everything through repeated basic attacks or auto-selection.

Phase 1: opening through the first Memory

Stop Sloth skills and gain the first Memory

The opening level gap to enemy Lv. 90 is large. Prioritize winning Sloth clashes and use for difficult ones. In Phases 1 and 2, using a skill against a holder lowers the enemy's SP by 10, so later attacks face different conditions.
In the normal sequence, it prepares a able on turn 2. Use a recipient who can win; the third consumes everyone's . The is Unbreakable, so expect hits after winning too.
Turn 3 in the normal sequence brings . lowers enemy SP by 20 and Power by 3. able regardless of ; winning increases .
After the attack, the recipient's becomes , losing 75% damage reduction. Assign an early recipient such as Meursault and preserve other holders for the end. The next Gluttony skill heals the body and staff join the battle.

Phase 2: three staff appear

Eliminate adds first and reach 3 Memories

Finish staff with area damage on their arrival turn. From the following turn, their Wrath skill becomes extremely strong through , , and increased . Clear them while still covering the body's Sloth and Lust clashes.
The body heals ed staff and removes their . Do not leave them merely because they are ed; prioritize killing them that turn. Dead staff become flesh with and later return, so prepare for reappearance.
Phase 2 heals 15 SP and gains +2 Power per staff member. If all are dead, Power −3. Kill staff with fast attackers before winning this major clash with a slower recipient.
Below 25% body HP or at 3 Memories, Phase 3 begins. When pursuing Memories, direct damage at staff and avoid reducing the body too far before gaining enough Memories. At transition, the body heals and removes negative effects.

Phase 3: after absorbing the adds

Choose Pride recipients and gain Memories through Gluttony

Only the body remains, alternating between able turns and turns. The early SP loss from targeting holders no longer applies.
The final Pride skill has all-s during Rampage. Choose a main target with 2 or less and win with a strong skill. The remaining On Hit +2 must not reach the follow-up threshold of 5. Losing adds more, so 2 or less is not permission to ignore the clash.
A main target lowers Atk Weight from 5 to 3, but loses that effect afterward. Check surviving holders before sacrificing one so you retain a recipient.
The can remove everyone's . Resolving it after the Pride skill can clear buildup, but check action order so an extra attack does not trigger it early. with a high-Power skill and win for 80% reduction.
A recipient gives −3 Power. Across four s, its base maximum falls from 27 to 15, but , , and level-gap modifiers still apply. regardless of and win for +1 Memory and 95% reduction. It does not convert into , so the same holder can handle it repeatedly.

At 5 Pwie's Memories

Win the changed major clash once more, then wait until next Turn End

5 Memories does not immediately end combat. The enemy next prepares only one Gluttony skill; win with a preserved holder. The all-Unbreakable conversion that applies below 5 Memories also stops.
On the following turn, it stops resisting. You do not need to reduce HP to 0; victory comes at Turn End. Losing every holder just before this makes the final clash harder, so protect them until the end.
If the team collapses, Continue is an option and still allows an EX clear. When retrying, identify which attack brought a Sinner to 5 .

Use or defense instead of basic attacks. Count application from remaining Unbreakable hits too, and manage it before the follow-up.

The body gains Count whenever damage occurs and gains Potency per cumulative 10 Count consumed. At 2 Potency, Final Power +1; at 3, Potency inflicted +1; at 4, Power +1; at 5, Rampage no longer decreases.

[Le Désir] has a maximum of 3. Minimum and maximum +1, damage taken −50%, and cannot die from damage. Normally loses 1 at Turn End, but the body's 5 Potency stops this. Also affects the Pride skill's all-Unbreakable conversion and staff damage reduction.

Waiting for natural expiry is not enough. Keep gaining the body's Memories and eliminating staff before they act.

Dead staff return as Ripped Flesh of the Crimson God with 150 HP and 3 Voice. Voice loses 1 each turn and prevents death while present. On expiry, returns to staff form and gains SP recovery and Count based on remaining HP.

Do not repeatedly attack flesh expecting to erase it permanently. Prepare area damage for its return to staff form.

In this battle, Meursault gains +3 minimum and maximum , +3 Final Power, and +2 matching-affinity resources on skill use, twice per turn; cannot retreat. If another ally is alive at Turn Start, he also cannot die that turn.

PARTYRecommended teams and preparation

What to prepare first

Shop toward Customer Lv. 65 and Diamond rank. Do not reuse outside Identity levels or Route A's Customer Lv. 35 as the benchmark.
Bring Meursault and enough survivors to preserve several holders. Prepare for major clashes and area attacks to focus damage on three staff.
Combine HP recovery and Shields with enemy debuffs. buildup and the large gap make an -only approach unreliable.
Replenish scarce resources in the preceding dungeon battle. Continue still allows an EX clear, so consider it if clearing is the priority.

High-Power clash recipients who retain Shared with Pwie until the end

Use 's −3 Power condition to gain Memories. Do not assign every Pride skill and early conversion to those same recipients.

Area damage to eliminate staff before they act

Reduce the body's and major-skill buffs, killing staff before their dangerous Wrath attacks.

Offense Level and Power debuffs

Account for enemy Lv. 90 and buffs to improve the chance of winning high-Power clashes.

HP recovery, Shields, and resource generation

Recover from Unbreakable hits and and use for key clashes. Exploit Meursault's extra resources too.

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