3 things to understand first
- 6 deployed Sinners plus 5 reserves. Don Quixote is unavailable; prepare your main attackers, recovery, and high-Power clashers using other Sinners.
- The turn after an HP boundary brings a big attack at 10 . Prepare healing and resistances first, then win the clash to reduce Unbreakable damage and suppress HP drain.
- Watch for the enemy's recovery at −15 SP or below in the opening. Save that can beat “” at 45 SP in the final phase.
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
- Enemy SP suddenly recovered despite early clash wins
- If at −15 SP or below at Turn Start, she consumes to recover to 20 SP and gains 2 Power Up. “” also restores SP On Use. Recheck next turn's predictions.
- Heavy despite winning the clash
- Phase-transition attacks have s. Winning suppresses HP drain and some damage, but remaining hits still inflict . Heal before big attacks and check damage from subsequent actions.
- She recovered from and immediately used a big attack
- At 80%, 60%, and 40% HP, she clears and changes phase. Prepare for crossing a boundary even while she is ed, and for 10 next turn.
- Unable to beat the late single- attack
- La Sangre inflicts On Use, while “” restores SP to 45. Prepare high-Base-Power or earlier debuffs; do not assign a clasher by listed Power alone.
Before deployment
Prepare main attackers, recovery, and reserves without Don Quixote
- Aim for Lv.50 and III or higher, with HP and SP recovery and high-Power . Don Quixote is unavailable; do not rely on her healing or team effects.
- Bring 6 Sinners and up to 5 reserves. Check reserve development and order so replacements can enter next turn if Unbreakable wears down the main team.
- Pierce and Lust are effective. Sloth and Gloom damage face resistance; consider attack affinities when choosing from your developed roster.
HP100〜80%
Plan the opening around the SP-recovery condition
- At Turn Start, the enemy recovers if at −15 SP or below and gains 2 Power Up. From an initial 0 SP, making her lose 4 or more opening clashes can easily meet that condition. Judge by current SP.
- With sufficient HP, you can receive some weaker first-turn attacks with Defense s and limit clashes to around 3. Do not force low-HP allies to take hits.
- Include “”'s On Use recovery in predictions and build allied SP. The at 85% HP is cleared by the phase change at 80%.
80% HP boundary / “Ecstasy of Blood”
Heal beforehand and prepare for Unbreakable attacks
- HP stops falling near 2104; next turn she uses “” at 10 . Allied activates at Combat Start, so winning the clash alone cannot prevent that HP loss.
- All 3 s are Unbreakable. Win to suppress HP drain, and withstand remaining hits and with resistances and prior healing. The turn ends after the attack, so slower healing scheduled that turn cannot act.
- When regular actions resume, assign Sinners with little to Sundering and Impaling. Prevent Impaling's repeated activation.
60% HP boundary / Hardblood
Beat the area attack and deplete the Shield
- The turn after reaching around 1578 HP brings “” at 10 . 6 and all 4 s are Unbreakable; prepare the whole team's HP beforehand.
- Winning halves the skill's damage and prevents from that damage. It does not make or other effects harmless.
- At Combat Start, Sancho gains 500 Shield and . The Shield does not expire at Turn End, and attackers receive . Deplete it while checking their Count and HP.
- Regular patterns add Track and Ambush. Targeting the Sinner with the most increases range and Power; redirect to someone with less when possible.
40% HP boundary / La Sangre
Account for Paralyze and use high Base Power
- The turn after reaching around 1052 HP brings La Sangre. It can be clashed with regardless of , but a condition inflicts 1 on both participants On Use.
- Prefer with high Base Power over single- skills relying only on Power. Check its +5 Power from or self-damage too.
- Prepare for the Unbreakable hit and the turn ending after the attack. Time healing and defenses to act soon enough, and protect Sinners with heavy .
Regular cycle below 40% HP
Stop “La Aventura Ha Terminado” and focus follow-up damage
- The final cycle uses “” once every 3 turns. It restores SP to 45 at Combat Start; low prior SP does not mean a weak attack.
- Aim to win with strong . Its Unbreakable hit still inflicts , but winning prevents this passive's HP drain and the additional on enemy Win.
- Unlike phase-transition attacks, this skill has neither fixed 10 nor an After Attack turn ending. Use earlier debuffs or focus follow-up attacks to finish her.
NOTESUnique effects and cautions
Easy-to-miss details
- Winning does not remove every . Distinguish On Hit from HP drain that winning can prevent.
- Winning against prevents only from that skill's damage. It does not prevent death from or other damage.
- Phase changes take priority at 80%, 60%, and 40% HP. Do not assume a opening will last unchanged into the next turn.
- Phase-transition attacks end the turn After Attack. Do not rely on healing or follow-ups scheduled after Sancho. “” is the exception.
- Ending conditions and skill performance differ from Canto VII.5 Sancho. This page covers the Canto VII carousel encounter.
