Assign Lasswell to the Rider’s gauge and use Rain to reduce skeleton pressure. Keep one escort alive if you cannot finish the Rider in the next opening: removing the final skeleton enables a stronger attack. Check an all-target command’s expected kills before selecting it.
Answer the dangerous action
Poison Gas needs an ailment cure as well as HP recovery. Carry Antidote Herbs and give an available actor responsibility for healing. If the main target is close to breaking, concentrate Ice/Light instead of spreading all actions across escort gauges.
After the battle
The following Umbra meeting ends through the story. It is not a second castle boss victory to grind for; preserve rare recovery items and continue the rescue scenes.
