Disclaimer: Guide based on the Japan Build of the game. I will edit accordingly once our global version is released!
Preparations
Equipment
You’ll need to equip yourself with high DEF and SPR as Brachiosaur is packed with high Attack and High Magic Spells (Meteor and Ultima).
Items: Protect Ring, Barrier Ring
Ability
As usual, Full Break is a must to dampen the damage output from Brachiosaur. Bring along a healer with Esuna because you won’t know which status debuff it will hit.
Brachiosaur is weak against Ice-element. Bring along Ice-based magic if you’re going with a Magic or hybrid party.
Lastly, since Brachiosaur will be able to cast Snort, which randomly removes a party member away from battle, you will want to bring along 2-3 units with Cura.
Other important Abilities – Esuna, Barrage, Cura/Curaja, SPR +10%, DEF +10%, Focus
Brachiosaur Attack Pattern
Skills
| No. | Skill | Effect |
| 1 | Attack | ST (500-1000 damage) Hits 3 times if HP is more than 50% Hits 2 times + Magic Focus if HP is below 50% |
| 2 | Disaster | 20% chance to Confuse, Sleep or Blind on everyone. |
| 3 | Snort | Randomly removes a party member from battle |
| 4 | Meteor | AOE Non-Elemental Damage (700-1300) |
| 5 | Spin | ST Physical attack (~1500) |
| 6 | Focusing Magic Power | Charge up for Ultima next turn (when HP is 50% or less) |
| 7 | Ultima | AOE Magic Attack ~ 1500 dmg |
It’s difficult to explain the Boss’s attack pattern as the fight does not have a specific pattern but rather, it has a chance of casting any of the above skills(except Ultima).
The Fight
As complicated as it may sound, the boss is actually pretty easy if you’re going in with a full lvl 80 party or a team full of Barrage.
- If it casts Snort on the first turn, it’s better to just restart the fight since it cost 0 energy.
- Keep Full-Break Up at all times to reduce damage intake.
- Ice-based spells are your best friend (so is Barrage).
- Esuna is important in this fight. You can also bring alot items that cures confuse and Blind. You can target your character (tap and hold your character > press target) and hit it to wake him/her up from Sleep.
- Remember to top up everyone’s HP and Full Break (Focus if possible) before it casts Ultima when it’s HP is at/below 50%. You can also set everyone in Defensive mode to further reduce the damage received.
