Last Cloudia - A Guard Without A Ward - under six minute win in single player - Dark Roland is key

Last Cloudia - A Guard Without A Ward: Under six minute win in single player. Dark Roland with Icy Guardian is the key and really chews out the boss' health more than anybody else. I tried to load him up with STR and defense ignoring skills (Piercing, Corrosion Fang). Divine Thouzer is just there to buff Roland with his charisma, and he's tanky. I would also consider Archbeing Mayly for debuffing boss with her anima, but she dies too easy so I skip her. I had a healer too always putting up Light Circle, Weak, and Drain on boss. Healer also had Great War of Ruin in case she needed refills on her special, which resurrects all other allies, as people die very quick and I need a lot of resurrects. Healer also had resurrecting accessories. Everybody had Shadow Ensemble, including healer.

Auto Attack is off so I can fix the target on the boss in 2nd stage of fight, so I don't attack the adds which seem to be invincible and just damage anything they run into as they move from left to right. I thought I had Roland equipped with Empty Brave to increase STR by 15% when his MP was under 20, but I forgot to put it on, still I thought I did so I always tried to have him with 0 MP and should've had Thouzer use Winry's Apple Pie on him whenever he was low on skill stock uses. Thouzer was just there to really buff Roland since he dies so easily every time I try to fight this boss, I don't know why maybe he just needs more fire resist? Anyway I would've kitted out Thouzer for just survival because he's no help when he's dead.

Boss has a special attack in his first wave that's a guaranteed kill for everybody, thankfully I killed him so fast that he didn't activate it. Second wave his specials only automatically kill one person, usually an attacker, so I made sure healer could always resurrect. Healer's Evolved blessing resurrects character with less health, but a +10% max HP buff, but it never seemed that useful since Thouzer kept dying after each resurrection before I could heal him to that raised HP.

First time I did this run I won in under 5 minutes! So much easier than what I'd usually do, Divine Thouzer and Archbeing Mayly, and barely scrape by a win after 10 minutes.

Boss is super hard and I was pulling my hair out trying to figure it out. Trying to share so others won't have the same problems. Good luck
