3 things to understand first
- Have Sinners other than Ryōshū handle Ren's clashes and reduce .
- Hit “” with 3 separate attacks before its clash.
- Do not attack into “”. Offsetting does not remove the enhanced reflection.
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
- Albina's finisher seems impossible to beat
- “” is not a raw-Power contest. Damage her with 3 skills before use to reach 3 and reduce Final Power by 30, then clash.
- An attacking ally suddenly takes massive damage
- “” multiplies Albina's Spikes reflection by 20. Offsetting the defense skill does not remove it; stop attacking and use defense or healing.
- Ren's Shield will not decrease
- drops by 1 each time he takes damage, but gained beyond 25 replenishes it. Use multiple s and target Swerve/Defend slots to limit gains too.
Before deployment
Level the 4 available Sinners and prepare Slash defense
- Aim for the recommended Level 58 on Yi Sang, Ryōshū, Meursault, and Gregor. Enemies are Level 65 with no reduction support. If clashes are unwinnable, consider leveling closer to 60 or using a ability.
- Ryōshū cannot die while another ally survives. Maintain the other 3 Sinners' HP and prepare healing and powerful clash handlers.
- Slash works against Ren; Blunt, Sloth, and Gluttony against Albina. Prepare finisher clashes and healing as well as suitable affinities.
While Ren is alone
Reduce Moonlit Azure Blade with multiple Coins
- The opening uses Swerve, Defend, and Reflect. Targeting Swerve and Defend reduces their Combat Start /Count gains. able cannot be Offset by defense skills.
- falls by 1 per instance of damage. Reduce it with multi- attacks while preventing replenishment from gains beyond 25.
- Ren loses 2 Power against Sinners other than Ryōshū. Have the other 3 handle dangerous attacks and use Ryōshū for damage or healing. Reaching 760 HP ends the turn; avoid excessive follow-ups.
After Albina joins
Focus Ren before the heavily defended Albina
- Albina joins at turn 6's start or the turn after Ren reaches 760 HP. Other Sinners gain slots; reorganize necessary clashes and one-sided attacks.
- Albina initially has , , and Shield. Stop necessary attacks while focusing Ren below 490 HP to make him withdraw.
- Fallstar Slayer has 8 and s. Win with a strong skill regardless of to reduce damage by 80% and prevent from this skill. Account for 's bonuses; use to limit Power if available.
Preparing for “Repressed Flesh”
Resolve 3 attacks before the final clash
- At 2 , Albina gains and uses “”. Spikes is inactive on the turn the skill is equipped.
- Before the finisher, damage Albina with 3 separate attack skills. Each skill, including , grants 1 . A single 3- skill counts only once.
- At 3 Armor, the finisher loses 30 Final Power. Check action order for 3 early attacks and 1 final clash. After attacking, she is ed through next turn and supplies less /Shield; exploit the opening.
Around 60% Albina HP onward
Survive “Iron Curtain” and damage her until withdrawal
- At roughly 811 HP, clears and immediately ends the turn once. If “” follows, avoid attacking Albina. Offsetting does not remove the ×20 Spikes reflection.
- Use strong-reflection turns for healing and defense, then concentrate damage during debuffs or . Albina withdraws below 680 HP; the encounter ends if Ren has withdrawn too.
- prevention after winning a finisher clash applies to that skill's damage. It does not prevent death from or other hits.
NOTESUnique effects and cautions
Easy-to-miss details
- “” counts skills for its debuff. One 3- skill does not grant 3 Armor.
- “”'s enhanced reflection survives Offset. Do not confuse it with the “” preparation turn.
- The turn ends at 60% Albina HP. Follow-up attacks after may not all resolve.
- Ryōshū's protection requires another living ally. Keep the other 3 alive.
Ryōshū gains +1 slot and +10% damage against Spiderweb. On , recover next turn and gain 1 (once per encounter). Cannot retreat.
Ryōshū cannot die while another ally lives. Divide roles while preserving allied HP.
Max 50. At Turn Start, gain Shield equal to value × 5; critical damage +1% per stack. Decreases by 1 when taking damage.

Max 2. Gained through “” hits and other effects; at 2, the Turn End condition prepares the next finisher.
Unbreakable hits can remain; prepare 3 earlier attacks promptly.
At Turn Start, gain 4 Base Power Up. Inflicting through attack skills adds 2 Power. Expires after “” attacks.
Do not judge the finisher's Power solely from base values.
Max 3. Each stack reduces “”'s Final Power by 10. After attacking at 3 stacks, expires and causes through next turn.
Build stacks with 3 separate attacks, then clash with the final skill.
