Tips
  • Equip your best non-Largo lancer with a powerful anti-tank weapon, ideally a 10R, and ensure they have Extra Shot and good anti-tank potentials (Jann is highly recommended).
  • Consider using the Awaken Potential order and the Penetration order (sniper level 15+) if available.
  • Ensure your units are at least level 17, which should be achievable through skirmishes.
  • Be prepared to save and reload frequently, especially for the sniper ace kill and Extra Shot activations.
  • The boss requires breaking its armor before dealing significant damage.
