Boss: Schwann

Strategy: Schwann is fast, hits very hard, can stun you with his combos, and has strong spells. He mainly focuses on chasing down your party members and comboing them to death. The rare times he decides to cast is an ample opportunity to gang up on him and do some damage. Bring Flynn and Karol for their healing abilities. If you need even more healing power, use Yuri's Altered Arte, 'Guardian Field,' by having the Dein Nomos equipped and then using Crushing Eagle. Have Rita hang back and cast spells. For Yuri, try to use an Over Limit Lv. 3 and hit Schwann with your Mystic Arte anytime you can for big damage.

Secret Mission: Knock Schwann down immediately after he uses his Mystic Arte.

Secret Mission Strategy: To accomplish the Secret Mission, you must knock Schwann down immediately after he uses his Mystic Arte. He will use it once and only once during the fight during his first Over Limit. The Mystic Arte will hit a small area around him and leave him momentarily stunned afterwards. You must knock him down while he is catching his breath. The time frame to knock Schwann down is extremely small. If you don't break his 'no stun shield,' he will not fall even if you hit him in time. Keep your health maxed out when he enters his first Over Limit. Stay close to him while your allies continue to attack him. When he uses his Mystic Arte, mash the square button to do an air recovery when he hits you. This should hopefully place Yuri on his feet and in prime position to strike. Then charge towards him and use Dragon Swarm. If done quick enough, the multiple hits from Dragon Swarm will not only break his 'no stun shield' but proceed to knock him down too. If you are lucky, a scene will take over and you will have accomplished the mission. If not, you will unfortunately have to start the fight over.

Tips
  • The layout of Baction is very straightforward, so directions will be simple (up, down, left, right).
  • Remember the location of the stairs on your minimap.
  • Equip the Dein Nomos weapon on Yuri immediately and train it so he learns the 'Special' skill, which allows him to use his Mystic Arte.
  • Schwann is weak to magic.
  • If you fail the secret mission, you will have to restart the boss fight.
