Inflicts FreezeCRI RES UPMAG DMG negated

Gernorse has low HP. Clear him threshold to threshold, because the Leader heals him (110k per tick) and herself. The Leader takes 1 damage from MAG hits; use PHY damage on her. Gernorse can inflict Freeze.

3Saar and Leader Beast · Water 8,000,000 HP · DEF 2,000
PHY evasionRemoves barriersMAG DMG negatedArts drain RES

Saar casts arts often, hits hard and negates barriers; use DMG RES buffs and healing instead. He has PHY evasion: use MAG damage or Accuracy UP on him, and PHY damage on the Leader. Killing the Leader first stops her heals. At 70% and 30% HP he casts True Arts (invulnerable) and gains CRI DMG UP.

4Lozze and Leader Beast · Water 7,000,000 HP · DEF 2,000
Resists DMG until brokenEquip DMG/break reducedStacks ATK DOWN on youMAG DMG negatedReflect RESArts drain RES

Lozze takes little damage before he is broken. Each break makes your team take more damage and gives him permanent Break RES, so break him once (breaker or Break Power UP equips) or skip breaking and use large buffs. Equip damage and break are reduced against him. His arts stacks permanent ATK DOWN on your team, so kill him quickly.
