Highlights

ult2

Lifeform-Hojo N (Ultimate +) has resistance to interrupt!

He’ll attack with a number of debuffs, and counter physical attacks with Poison, too, so watch out!

When his HP gets low, he’ll use Regen, Haste, and Shell to shore up his defenses, and when his HP gets really low, he will unleash an attack that has a high chance of Blinding your entire party, so use Esuna to bring back the light, or rely on magic attacks which are unaffected by Blind to finish the fight.

Combo: Deal physical damage four times and Sleep one target.
Strategy
  • When the body is defeated, Helletic Hojo dies and Lifeform-Hojo N spawns.
  • When both arms are defeated before the body, Helletic Hojo also dies and Lifeform-Hojo N spawns.
  • If the right arm is defeated first, it revives after a few turns; if the left arm is defeated first, it stays dead.

Ignore the arms. It is faster to get to the final form by killing the body instead of the arms.

Draw Fire + Retaliate for the final form.

Gatling: Deal very heavy ranged physical damage to all targets.
Flamethrower: Deal massive ranged fire physical damage to all targets.
Mako Bullet: Deal massive ranged fire physical damage to one target.
Mako Cannon: Deal massive ranged physical damage to all targets.

► Dark Nation

Chew: Deal very heavy physical damage to one target.
Rampage: Deal very heavy special physical damage to all targets.
Slow: Slow one target.
Haste: Grant Haste to one target.
Dispel: Remove buffs from one target.
Strategy
Dark Nation’s first turn seems to always be Haste to either itself or Rufus. No matter who it is, I recommend that Dispel / Banish Raid be used immediately. Alternatively, you can cast Reflect on both of them so you get the buffs instead.Break Fever is especially good here since it effectively fulfills two target scores. If you can, stack that with other Breakdowns to take less damage from them and also do more damage to them.

Rufus begins spamming Mako Cannon as the fight goes on. Basically it is a race at this point, kill him before he kills you, unless you can outheal his damage every turn.

Bio Gas: Deal massive special ranged physical damage and Poison all targets.
Blind Gas: Deal massive special ranged physical damage and Blind all targets.
Counterattack: Deal massive physical damage two times and Poison one target. (trigger: physical attacks)
Strategy
  • First boss to be immune to Interrupt (hence Dismissal has no effect)
  • At a certain HP threshold (50%-55%) it will grant itself Regen, Haste and Shell.
  • At low HP it will use Blind Gas.

The Tauntaliate strategy is highly recommended here, not so much for the free damage, but mainly to nullify all single target damage, including Hojo’s counterattacks.

Hojo uses Bio Gas very often when he’s very weak, make sure to top up your party as much as possible where necessary.

If you have a physical heavy team, I recommend saving your Soul Breaks for the last 10%-15% of his health, where your party will most likely be Blinded. Soul Breaks will bypass Blind. If you have Y’shtola’s Medica II, you are at a huge advantage!

Also, since there are no KO target scores, you can let 1 character die and still retain full Targets KO’d medals.
