Water Dragon Summary

The Water Dragon, a towering beast of the deep that commands the tides, channels the sea itself into its attack.

Most of its attacks crash down the whole party, except for a fight that damages the whole party. Will the party be able to weather the waves long enough to turn the tide?

How to Beat Water Dragon

[1] Use Thunder Elemental Attacks.

Thunder Elemental Attack

Water Dragon is weak to Thunder elemental attack. Make sure to take advantage of its weakness to deal extra damage and to stagger it easily!

[2] Use Rain as a Tank.

Rains's Provoke

Since the party consists of only 3, use Rain as a dedicated tank by using Provoke, which makes sure that the single-target attack goes to him instead of randomly going to someone else within the party.

With a small party, one hit on Fina or Lid can quickly cost you a turn, so locking the Water Dragon's attention to Rain can let the others focus on attacking and supporting.

[3] Use Fina as a Support.

Fina's Cura

With a small party, and most of the attacks that the Water Dragon uses damage the whole party, most of the time Fina will use support skills to keep the health of the party topped off.

Prioritizing Fina's healing instead of attacking will help the party in the rest of the fight, since a single missed heal can leave the group exposed to the next big hit.
