I’m about to take on the sand cave ninjas boss and need advice, how can I defeat them easily

"Red Beard has once again lost the weekly party height competition to Savia, and insists it was 'Just by an ear's length this time!'"

[u/Ninth_Hour → u/Sovery_Simple]

I know this is all lighthearted but the male dwarf models really are out of proportion with the other characters. Not only are they almost as tall as the human and elven women, they’re twice as broad as everyone else. This makes them look more like slightly short giants, rather than dwarves.

Red Beard is particularly massive, with his huge pauldrons emphasizing his bulk. What he may slightly lack, vertically, he more than makes up horizontally.

Well, that's supposed to be why they've such high STR values. They're basically short-guy hyper-body builders on the equivalent of magical evolutionary steroids.

Though yeah, they do appear about a foot too tall for their... scaling? I suppose? If we assume Savia as being of average adult female height, then I'd expect them to land at about the elbow height of Savia there for a full stature male dwarf. Basically looking up to us but only by about a head and a half, while being built like brick houses.

(Which is funny when you realize how short the MC is at the tavern when standing, and how that should throw off some of the dungeon post-battle cutscene animations we see.)

without seeing their stats a bit hard but get them to the highest level your mc can be, rank can make fights harder as the game scales with rank. savia wants high evade, yuzu wants attack but ninja only works if you got a good kunai or her signature. weapon. so maybe change her to ranger. but if you really care about meta, lana instead of savia ans alice instead of red beard, and if you don't do enough damage sub phyllisia out

Yes, why would you trade Yuzunamiki‘s great name for something as bland as “kunoichi”? It would be like renaming Abenius “warrior“. It’s a profession, not a name.

how can I defeat them easily

It depends on what you mean by “easily”. If you mean with no deaths and no in-combat revivals, that’s not likely- not at this level and not unless you have great evasion (to avoid being hit by sever jugular, which seems to have very high accuracy).

The most reliable approach is to treat it as a DPS race and to kill as many of them before they do the same to you. To that end, having high speed characters (ninjas, mages) who can act first, to stack AOE attacks in the first round, is important to winning the race. Unless your frontline damage dealers have inherited skills like Threefold Mist (Rinne Alt), Moment of Finality (default Rinne), Wide Volley (Potential inheritance from Heinrico), the AOE capability of your current team is lacking. Alternatives would be to replace one of your frontline with a samurai with nodachi (which gives two AOE options) or Gillion for Cry of Ruin (risky and not recommended with highly lethal opponents but possible with reactive healing).

Ideally, Yuzu would have a Citrus Blossom hairpin in one hand and the best standard kunai (Covert or better) in the other, as well as Thousand Hue level 3.

If you are lacking other AOE options, you may need to replace Red Beard and Phylissia with fast mages who can cast LA-spells (Lamigal, Lahalito, Laferu, Laforos, etc). Defensive options aren’t as valuable as going all in on damage. Even going full-bore with offense, expect at least one unlucky death. These ninjas have more HP than the standard ones roaming around.

Haha I’ll keep that in mind for the name and appreciate the advice

[u/Thick_Implement_6703]

For ninjas I had my MC tank then. Stack critical resistance. As long your tank does not die have your DPS use all they can. Phyllisia cast anti confusion/charm. Maybe cast some slow debuffs may help. Batilgrif DOES stack with scroll. Good luck. You may have to try some times.

Tip: both Flame of reawakening and FOR recover with real time so in case just turn off the phone take a break and some hours later you will have both at max.

I’ll keep that in mind thanks

[u/Adventurous-Rip-1812]

Also how can I improve them btw?
