Saga frontier 2 Remaster- Enhanced Egg Fight Tutorial

the enhanced egg fight after kill all the enhanced lord post game.
Probably one of the hardest if not hardest fight I had to do in a JRPG.

⬛This fight is divided into three phases⬛

All three phases seem immune to debuff except defense down (and probably Magic defense down and speed down but I didn't try)
All three phases seem pretty resistant to offensive spells unfortunately.

⬛In phase one, the boss doesn't really have Hard CC, I like the setup all my buffs during this phase. Always soul hymn turn one to get regenerate on everybody. Defense up/Magic defense UP are a must as they can actually stay the entire fight by always having reviver up. Those are the buffs you should prioritize, the rest are accessory. Guard beast/Permanence can make this phase safer but are not necessary. Some people would argue that with more damage you probably don't need them as they will get removed by vortex later on.


Even through it is a easy phase, Two things can go very wrong:
1. The Boss can AoE Debuffs your team. Use permanence on DPS as soon as possible if you can.

2. If he keeps spamming quake, you'll loose a lot of LP which is pretty bad you're basically in a time limit during this phase. After setting up your stat buffs go hard on him.

3.Woodstock can remove some of your buffs, always check for the red particule animation...

⬛Phase 2 :
Extremely easy phase but now the boss will start using Vortex which remove guard beast, permanence, regenerate and reviver. It kinds of make guard beast/permanence pointless spells for this fight as the boss will spam vortex a lot.

Always start by reducing his defense then go full combo on him. Regenerate is often more than enough.

Be careful though, when he changes phase, he will use megabolt. Your characters need to be over 400 hp to be safe during this phase. You won't able to heal as megabolt always play first.

Megabolt does damage depending of the number of astral debuff you have active. I'm pretty sure defending do not reduce the damages. Megabolt will remove the astral debuff allowing you to fully heal everybody with LP after it. So Either go full damage during this phase.

⬛**Phase 3: All the Lords**⬛

Reincarnate is very dangerous. If two people get reincarnated it will probably end your Run. It is better to play defensively and makes sure everybody stays alive with reviver and water of life instead of going full DPS on the boss.

⬛--TIPS--
Even if the boss keep spamming vortex you should try keeping Reviver on your Ace units. In my case, will was the one not getting rebuffed/reviver that much because he didn't need it later on.

Always soul hymn after a Vortex, Regenerate is way too important.

Focus on solid duo combos and keep one trio combo at hand, there won't be one turn where you don't need someone to heal or use recovery breath/soulHymn.

Mindscape can only be a decent buffs in this fight if you have nothing to do in a defense turn. Speed increase combo rate/Avoidance which can be pretty useful and it doesn't get removed by vortex.

How to deal with Reincarnate?
The boss will prioritize doing reincarnate if someone is dead. You can use that against him as reincarnate is a very fast spell, it is better to use Recovery breath to remove the charm on a dead unit than water of life.
If you want to be safe you can cast both water of life and Recovery breath on the dead unit in case the boss doesn't use reincarnate.


-Water Phase:
Go full damage if you're water immune.
Permanence can protect your DPS to be both weapon down and morale down making their damage go negative.

-Stone Phase:
Can't do any damage in this phase so heal/Buff this turn.
need someone with petrify immunity and pray the others dont get petrify.
Aliment Resistance can help a lot otherwise.

-Beast Phase:
Apply a super beast guard that makes it very hard to get any damage in.
Can probably do damage with arts that bypass shields but again a defensive phase.
the boss mostly melee during this phase So Defend Both front unit = Good

-Tone Phase:
Can makes ally target on ally which will immediately kill it.
The boss can also AoE Stun during this phase but it is overall a safe Phase.
I prefer playing defensive/heal/buff in this phase too again.

-Steel Phase:
From what i've seen, the boss will spam arts on a the lowest Hp Unit.
Defend with this unit and start attacking with the others.


-Fire phase:
AoE Paralyse is the scary part. Make sure to have immunity for it on your DPS. Otherwise just attack as most your characters should be Heat Resistant. Firebird won't work well in this phase tho.


-Wood Phase:
Can aoe poison/confusion.
Not that scary of a phase otherwise, you can attack here.
This egg has very high magic resist during this phase so avoid spell and hybrid arts.

Confusion = Defend or use Support skill with this unit.
Poison= let it die with reviver on.
