3 things to understand first
- Defeat the 25-HP s before the boss eats them.
- Win against -inflicting attacks to protect SP.
- Focus the Pearl during the opening at 0 slime.
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
- The enemy is too resistant to damage
- All Shell resistances are 0.7 and remain unchanged on . Defeat summoned slimes to prevent replenishment, then focus the Pearl during the special triggered by 0 slime.
- SP falls every turn
- deals SP damage equal to its value at Turn Start and transfers to the ally with the highest current HP at Turn End. Prioritize winning against “” and “”. “” also applies [On Use], so wins cannot prevent all of it.
- Slime replenishes immediately after decreasing
- Successful on a summoned slime restores 3 stacks. Defeat it first with a faster attack. The area attack every 4 turns and recovery from the special also restore 10, so is not the only cause.
Before deployment
Prepare healing and enough actions to defeat slimes
- Recommended Level 40; deploy 6 Sinners. Account for Ishmael's low SP by giving other main units strong es and healing options.
- Consider Wrath/Pride damage against the boss and area attacks for multiple summons. Prioritize winning against -inflicting attacks rather than building solely to damage the resistant Shell.
- Save HP and SP recovery. 's HP damage and 's SP loss require separate answers.
Regular attacks
Prioritize stopping skills that add Larva
- Beat “” and “” to limit and . ed Sinners receive extra or , so assign healthier main units to these es.
- “” inflicts 3 [On Use]. This remains even when you win, so use SP recovery and action cancellation from Part breaks too.
- is consumed at Combat Start. Winning the does not cancel that consumption or next turn's summon.
Slime summons / Predation
Defeat summons before the boss acts
- Summoned slimes have 25 HP. Use faster Sinners or area attacks to prevent Turn End and the boss's .
- is unclashable and cannot be redirected. Instead of challenging its 50–51 roll with , defeat the targeted slime first so the attack cannot resolve.
- The boss's status and the summoned units share a name but are separate. You do not directly attack the status to reduce its value.
Boss at 0 slime
Focus the Pearl during the special Stagger opening
- At Turn Start with 0 slime, the boss s and the Pearl's resistances weaken. Focus strong attacks on the Pearl to reduce overall HP.
- ing the Shell through ordinary attacks differs from the special at 0 slime. Its normal resistances are 0.7; avoid repeatedly attacking only the Shell.
- Recovery from the special restores 10 slime. If the boss survives, clear summoned slimes again to create another opening.
4-turn cycle / final stretch
Save a strong area-attack answer, then finish the boss
- “” rolls up to 25, with increasing according to the boss's slime. Save a powerful skill to stop its combined , SP loss, and application.
- This area attack gains 10 slime at Combat Start. Winning the does not prevent that replenishment.
- At 10% overall HP or less, the boss repeatedly uses its area attack. If you can finish it, concentrate damage rather than chasing only summons.
NOTESUnique effects and cautions
Easy-to-miss details
- The Shell retains its normal resistances on . Do not confuse this with the Pearl's special weakening.
- Slime consumption and replenishment at Combat Start cannot be canceled by winning es.
- “” applies 3 [On Use]. SP management remains necessary even if you stop all Attack s.
- Successful s can also inflict . Offset “” with another Defense to avoid letting the enemy reuse it repeatedly.
The boss's status has a maximum of 10. When it decreases, summoned units with the same name appear next turn. There can be up to 3 summons, each with 25 HP. on one restores 3 stacks.
Distinguish the status from summoned units, and defeat the summons before .
At Turn End, take HP damage equal to its value, then halve the value.
Clear summoned slimes to limit further application, and save HP healing.
At Turn Start, take SP damage equal to its value. At Turn End, transfer to the ally with the highest current HP.
Win against the skills applying it and use SP recovery. It does not remain only the first affected Sinner's problem.

PARTYRecommended teams and preparation
