3 things to understand first
- Avoid triggering the boss's ; light all 4 s first.
- After all are lit, choose between focusing the boss and breaking all 4 Shields in the same turn.
- Do not use to weaken negative- 9:2. Manage and healing instead.
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
- Attacks barely damage the boss
- While resistance buffs are active, all resistances are 0.5. Reduce all s to 1 HP to light them rather than trying to defeat them. Once all are lit, normal resistances return, making Gloom especially effective.
- s do not die at 1 HP
- s light at 1 HP and cannot die. This creates an opening to attack the boss. Breaking their Shields after lighting extinguishes them next turn; these are separate steps.
- The area attack remains strong despite
- 9:2 has 20 Base Power and -4 Power. sets Power to 0, preventing the usual power reduction. Use strong es or extinguish every instead of treating as a debuff here.
Before deployment
Prepare attacks for all 4 Candles and healing for Burn
- Recommended Level 40; deploy 6 Sinners. Divide attacks so each of the 4 s reaches 1 HP rather than focusing everything on one.
- Once normal resistances return, Gloom, Sloth, and Slash are effective. Prepare Wrath resistance and HP healing for attrition too.
- Ishmael starts at low SP. Consider opening recovery or defense rather than relying on her winning every needed to light s.
While Candles are unlit
Light all 4 without triggering the boss's normal Counter
- s light when reduced to 1 HP. Divide attacks across all 4 instead of trying to defeat them one at a time.
- “” and “” are unclashable. Use or other damage mitigation rather than trying to redirect them into a strong attacking .
- The boss also has a normal during this phase. Check and targets when using area attacks to avoid accidentally including the boss as a secondary target.
- The boss lights the s 4 turns after they go out. If you lack actions, you need not keep triggering its unnecessarily.
After all Candles are lit
Choose between focusing the boss and extinguishing all Candles
- The boss's normal resistances return and attacks can deal effective damage. If your damage is sufficient, leave s alone and focus the boss to it before 9:2.
- Otherwise, fully deplete every 's 20-point Shield in the same turn. All go out next turn, triggering 6:5's self-damage and .
- Splitting actions between damaging the boss and extinguishing s can leave you taking without extinguishing them all. Choose the turn's goal before assigning attacks.
When 9:2 appears
Use a strong Clash against negative Coins
- 9:2 starts at 20 and loses 4 power per . removes that reduction, so do not use it to weaken this skill.
- Win with a strong skill to prevent and Max HP reduction on hit. However, the enemy's [ Lose] effect still applies 10 and next-turn , so victory does not mean taking no damage.
- targets take additional damage based on Max HP. Check HP recovery and Wrath resistance, and recover before the area attack.
- Afterward, s heal and go out. If the boss survives, repeat the lighting process.
Deplete all 4 Shields in the same turn
Focus damage after 6:5's self-inflicted hit
- If all s go out in time, the boss uses 6:5 instead of 9:2. This unclashable, unredirectable skill makes the boss take the damage itself.
- Attack during the boss's next turn. Save healing and damage skills rather than attempting to with the self-damaging skill using a Sinner's .
- Light the s again after they heal. Manage buildup and repeat the process for another opening if needed.
NOTESUnique effects and cautions
Easy-to-miss details
- Lit s use normal s. These cannot be stopped by winning a .
- Winning against 9:2 still leaves its [ Lose] effect. Preventing hits does not cancel every effect.
- To extinguish all s, deplete all 4 Shields in the same turn. Breaking just one does not trigger the same opening.
- Enhanced-resistance and restored-resistance entries share one HP gauge. You do not defeat two separate bosses in sequence.
4 s with 26 HP each. They light at 1 HP rather than reaching 0; lighting all restores the boss's normal resistances. Breaking their 20-point Shields afterward extinguishes them next turn.
Treat initial lighting and Shield-breaking to extinguish all s as separate steps.
A mark prioritized by some boss and attacks. A hit from 9:2 also deals additional damage equal to 5% of Max HP.
Heal the marked Sinner and protect them with strong es or resistances.

Prepare other main units, resistances, and healing rather than rushing to raise only Ishmael.

Prioritize SP recovery and durability, and watch for at low SP.
