Battle 1

Pallas Athena	Rs	-	-	Wk	-	Nu	Rs

• Maziodyne

Battle 2

Pallas Athena	Rs	-	-	Wk	-	Nu	Rs

• Thunderous Advent
• Resist Dark

Notes

• Another simple fight, the main concern is 80% damage reduction + a 1000 HP Bulwark if you use certain elements, depending on the phase:
  • Phase 1 penalizes Phys or Light damage.
  • Phase 2 penalizes Dark or Almighty damage.
  • Elec damage is safe on either phase.
  • The Bulwark is actually a non-issue, as 1,000 HP is practically nothing for the boss in this mode. As long as your main damage dealers aren't getting 80% reduced, you should be able to punch through the Bulwarks no problem.
• Athena is weak to Elec the whole time, as opposed to Inanna, who needs setup. This means you can earn extra turns with cheap non-piercing Zio transfers on supports, if needed.

Battle 2

Inanna	-	Nu	Nu	Nu	Nu	-	Rs

Notes:

• Avoid having your demons pass, as that'll trigger Rule Control, which will most likely KO your party.
  • This shouldn't happen on auto, since the boss does not have Nu/Dr/Rp Phys, and your demons will try to use their standard attack when at low MP.
• Underworld Corrosion reduces the boss's Elec and Force resistance by 2 levels, up to twice. She starts at Null, so attack with piercing Elec/Force damage twice to get her down to Weak. This can then get you more damage, more turns, and Chalk Eater synergy for buffs + more turns.
  • Alternatively, someone with Attribute affinity down can work as a more-direct solution that doesn't need as much setup.
  • Note that both resistances go down regardless of which one you used, so you can use a piercing Elec attacker to open the way for a Force attacker.
  • The damage of skills that aren't Elec/Force are reduced by 15%. This is only a minor annoyance, but really pushes you to use the correct elements if you can.
  • Devil Connector skills unfortunately do not count for triggering Corrosion.
• In phase 2, she swaps Underworld Corrosion for Hell Corrosion, which does the same thing but for Fire and Ice.
• The boss gives your team a 50% damage boost when using an All Targets attack, meaning those can be viable.
• The boss triggers a lot of DEF Debuffs on her turn, so having a demon that can trigger DEF Buffs during the enemy turn can help combat this. For example: Demeter.

• Liberators:
  • Chalk Eater - Grants buffs or more press turns when hitting weaknesses.
  • Shionyan - Grants +12 Mag for magic teams. If paired with Idun, can offer extra MP occasionally.
  • Carbon Black - Crit damage and +12 Str for physical teams.
  • Templar Dragon - Boost damage of demons that use Charge or Concentrate.

In addition to the units detailed in the Useful Demons section of this guide:

Support:

• Demeter: counteracts the boss's DEF Debuff spam during the enemy turn, as well as providing plenty of Luster Candy buffs overall.
• Ame no Uzume: pairs well with Seth or Mahamayuri, since they deal Force damage and heal, triggering Ame's ATK Buff.
• Barong: Luster Candy buffs from Barong Dance.
