Learn how to defeat the formidable Firstborn in Bravely Second. This guide covers its abilities, weaknesses, and effective strategies to overcome its 85% Evade.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Firstborn can use Raise Ruckus to pound your party, Thrash and Bash for six powerful hits, or Baby Bubbles to dispel buffs and lower defenses.
  2. 2
    Its primary challenge is an Innate 85% Evade ability, making most attacks miss.
  3. 3
    Strategy 1: Soul Mirror
    • Equip the Guardian job and use Soul Mirror to reflect Firstborn's attacks back at it.
  4. 4
    Reflected attacks do not trigger the 85% Evade.
  5. 5
    Ensure your party members have Prescience equipped to always act first.
  6. 6
    Baby Bubbles can dispel Soul Mirror, but you should have enough BP to reapply it.
  7. 7
    Consider making some party members ghosts to mitigate damage.
  8. 8
    Strategy 2: Persistent Attacks
    • Use abilities like Dual Wield, Triple Wield, or Quad Wield for multiple physical attacks.
  9. 9
    Use Echo and Chainspell to cast multiple spells.
  10. 10
    The first time Firstborn is hit, it becomes angry and may use Feed Me to boost its BP.
  11. 11
    The second time Firstborn is hit, it will topple over, disabling its 85% Evade temporarily.
  12. 12
    Attack normally while its evasion is disabled.
  13. 13
    Firstborn will use Nap Time's Over to stand up again. Repeat the process of attacking until it topples to defeat it.
  14. 14
    Optional One-Turn KO: The Ghost Mage Onslaught build can achieve a one-turn KO, but requires hitting Firstborn twice with a 15% accuracy. Reload if unsuccessful.
  15. 15
    BP Management: For a more reliable approach, build up maximum BP before initiating your onslaught, ensuring you can act even if a one-turn KO fails.
Tips
  • To maximize profit, do not save after defeating Firstborn.
  • Keep Firstborn alive to repeatedly steal rare Unearthly Buns using the Thief's Prince of Thieves ability.
  • Repeat the steal process until all character stats are maxed out.
