• Power/Magic Break is effective on Wilhelm.
• Keep Attack Break on Wilhelm at all times.
• Keep Defense Buff up at all times (Cheer, Embolden, Protectga).
• Man-Eater is effective.
• Make sure you protect yourself from Paralysis.
• Dispel when Wilhelm buffs.
• When Wilhelm HP is below 50%, it will cast Shield Bash which can Stop multiple targets.

Strategy

• Wilhelm, as a tank, is strong against all kinds of attack. It will be better to bring along units with “Ignore Defense” attacks.
• Kill the 2 soldiers first to reduce the damage pressure.
• Seems like you can remove the “Stop” with Fingersnap (TBC).

Cheese

• Inflicting Blind on Wilhelm forces him to use Remedy as his full turn.

Suggested Units

You want to bring along units that can fulfill multiple roles. When Wilhelm’s HP Drop below 30%, he will start casting a “Stop” skill. You’ll want the remaining units to keep buffs up, or dispel the “stop”.

For Achievement

Healer:
– Rem: Innate DC, Protectga, Auto revive
– Refia: Embolden, Full-Life *Need equip Dual Cast
– Cecil: Since achievement requires you to have a party of 4 or less, Cecil can act as your main Healer if your other party members are well geared. However, make sure you equip Dual Cast on Cecil

Support:
– Rain: Can fulfill the role as your Main tank and Breaker
– Cloud of Darkness: Aura Ball, Man-Eater, Protectga
– dad
