Phases:

1. The Living Armor is a single, powerful foe with a large health pool. It doesn't seem to have distinct phases, but its attacks can be relentless.

Strategy:

• Focus on physical attacks. Since it has no specific elemental weakness, your best bet is to hit it hard with your strongest physical combos.
• Keep your party healed. The Living Armor hits hard, so make sure your healers are constantly keeping everyone's HP topped up.
• Watch out for its strong elemental affinities. While it's not weak to anything, it resists Fire, Lightning, and Darkness, so avoid using those elements if possible.
• After the battle, you'll have a choice: burn the armor or leave it. Burning it leads to praise from Origin. Leaving it allows you to re-challenge it later in Niflheim.
