Strategy & Tips

This Elite alternates debuffs and attacks: Vulnerable 2, 3x6, Attack 12, Vulnerable 2, Block 12, 3x6. The opening Vulnerable is extremely dangerous — getting hit for 3x6 (18 base, 27 with Vulnerable) on turn 2 hurts badly. Block heavily on turns 2 and 6 when the triple strike lands.

The Vulnerable application makes all subsequent damage worse, so bring status removal. Chill is outstanding here because it reduces each of the three hits in the multi-attack. Applying Weakness via Shadow cards counteracts the Vulnerable setup.

Iron Rosary helps survive the opening sequence. When the Assassin blocks on turn 5, use that turn to heal or set up. At 148 HP, this is a long fight — sustained damage like Poison or Burn pays off.

Fire element damage bonuses help cut through quickly.
