Start the battle and see if you can start with a 5-team combination in a Warcry formation. Otherwise, reroll the boss fight. Having this formation will help you defeat an Elemental Tree enemy immediately in your first turn.

A 4-team combination is optional especially when Overdrive is enabled. However, it is still a compromise.

Divine Water Spirit Boss Guide

Boss Information

Boss Prerequisites and Preparation

Set party formation.

Use Diffusion formation and spread your party members. United Attacks and the Warcry Formation's Showstopper will be not in effect due to the boss fight's gimmick effect.

Take note of the Child Rock gimmick.

The Child Rock gimmick will disrupt your current formation and set your party members apart when attacked. It is better to have all party members widespread at the beginning.

Also, don't use team attacks in this battle.

Boss Strategies and How to Defeat

Prioritize the Water Elementals.

Take the down Water Elemental first without using United Attacks. These minions can use Maelstrom and Washing early if your party has low Speed stats.

Use Chains to counter Maelstrom and Washing skills.

Since Water Spirits have higher Speed stats, they will always attack early every turn. Counter this by using the Conditional tech, Chains, to evade the attacks. You can also command fast characters to Follow Attacks and set slow characters to Defend.

Use Nagashi Slash to minimize Wriggling Tentacle's attack boost.

The Wriggling Tentacles skill provides an attack boost to the Divine Spirit boss by +2. In order to reduce the boost effects, use Nagashi Slash. This will help in minimizing the Divine Spirit boss's damage output.

Exploit the weakness to the boss by using Pierce skills.

The boss is weak to Pierce skills. Make sure you have access to it during the boss fight.

Inflict Stun status.

Stun is also effective against the boss and the elementals. Constantly apply it in battle. Using Gravity Bind is an option as well.

Option 1: Coopperative Formation

Use Cooperative formation in order to have more United Attacks Overdrives in battle.

Option 2: Warcry Formation

Use Warcry Formation and reroll until you have 5-team combinations at the start of the battle. This will also take down one Elemental at the beginning.

Boss Strategies and How to Defeat

Eliminate the Fire Elementals.

Focus on clearing the Fire Elementals first. Combine high BP Techs with magic to take them out faster. Stun is also effective against them.
