滅 The Watchdog of Hell

Boss: 滅 Cerberus

Medal Conditions: Reduce Cerberus's magic.
Elemental Damage Taken:

Status Vulnerabilities: None!
Break Effectiveness:

Moveset:

• (Not-Triple only) Berserk (WHT: ST 18% chance to Berserk)
• (Not-Triple only) Dispel (WHT: AOE Dispel)
• (Not-Triple only) Blind (BLK: AOE 30% chance to Blind)

Notes and Strategies: In Default phase (>50% HP), Cerberus uses Silence on its 1st turn, Blind on its 2nd turn, and Dispel on its 5th turn; it has a 15% chance to enter Triple state for 20 seconds after any action in this phase. In Weak phase (<50% HP), Cerberus uses Blind on its 1st turn and Dispel on its 3rd turn; it has a 10% chance to enter Triple state for 30 seconds after any action in this phase. While in Triple state, Cerberus attacks three times per turn; in this version of the fight, Triple cannot be Dispelled.

Cerberus uses entirely magical damage, so leave physical mitigation at home. This fight can either be very easy or very hard depending on how quickly Cerberus enters Triple state. If he does it after his first turn, it's entirely possible he'll hit you with a Quake-Tornado-Aero combo that will leave your party all but wiped out. It's also entirely possible that he never enters Triple state, at which point he's a joke of a boss. Just remember to wear Blind resistance on your physical attackers and Silence resistance on your mages.
