How To Clear Episode 4 Chapter 10 - 10 - Dark Possessed Zio - No Great Equipments? Don't Give Up!
Cause the last chapter in every episode is the most difficult compared to others before, good equipments and suitable heroes are necessary. But, what if you lacks in one of that all? Don't worry, you still can clear it. Let your brain do the job!
Tips:
Dark Possessed Zio will attack the knight enemy by his skill " Dissappear ". This skill will push him back, and giving him stealth buff after making him suffered quite much damage. If there isn't a knight hero, he will attack a random enemy. So, bring one knight hero that tanky enough.
Make sure that this knight has quite much speed ( around 200 ) or someone who can increase his combat readiness so Dark Possessed Zio will only attack him by his skill " Dissappear " - thanks to the stealth buff - and he can dispell the special buff when his turn comes.
There is a special undispellable stacked buff named " Dark Aura " that will give its great effect when the number reaches 4 and the boss start his turn. So, don't let it happen. Also, don't forget that Dark Possessed Zio's allies also have this buff. So, defeat them before it.
To erase this special buff, your heroes must use a soulburn skill in their turns. Use that when the number reaches 4 ( it changes at the start of turn ) or 3 if the soulburn is in second or third skill to anticipate being silenced by Dark Possessed Zio.
Make sure that each of hero only spend 10 souls to activate it. One hero uses 20 souls if you can't. ( Cause it's hard if there is two heroes who spend 20 souls to activate it ). And it's in basic skill or a skill that only has four cooldown at max ( Cause if it's 5 or more, you can't dispell it at time without a helping hand from skill cooldown decrease, combat readiness increase, extra turn, and the likes. )
To obtain many soulburn, attack the lantern with normal skill ( not a counter, extra, nor dual ). It will give you three extra souls everytime it's attacked. So, an aoe attack is very recommended here. If you don't have ( cause most of heroes have a single attack in their basic skill ), make the soulweaver and knight hero attack the lantern ( cause their damage isn't big ).
If you can handle this, ( not letting any number reaches 4 ) then keep going until Dark Possessed Zio's health reaches below 40%. Don't take a very long time, cause he has a stackable increase speed and attack.
After Dark Possessed Zio uses his third skill, the lantern will be gone. Granting him dark aura in exchange of that. So, basically you only have three of his turns left to defeat him ( Cause i don't think that the heroes can survive his next third skill ). Then, defeat him before he defeats you. Decrease defense debuff is highly recommended here.
Then, it's the end.
Hope this can help. Keep Fighting!
Note:
Recommended Heroes: Yuna, Rem, Tamarinne, Maya, Mercedes, Seaside Bellona, Adventurer Ras, Emilia, Iseria.
Everytime your hero uses a non attack skill, Dark Possessed Zio's allies will grant themselves a stealth and critical hit chance buffs. So, don't use it unless necessary or doesn't bother you. For debuffs, it's better to dispell it automatically by wondrous potion vial artifact or passive skill.
That's All.
