Tales of Eternia- EX Boss 5: Cless & Arche [NIND/Hardcore Mode]

No Items, No Death

A pretty nice battle, though the scales are tipped a bit more in their favor. Getting rid of Arche ASAP is the right way to handle it since her spells will lock you down and get ya killed quickly. Freeze Lancer is probably the biggest offender, but Rising Phoenix deals with her quickly.

As for Cless, he hits pretty hard and matches Reid pace-for-pace, but he doesn't have much HP. Problem is attacking him without the Derris Emblem is a bit iffy, since Reid's accuracy isn't always spot on and combos can end up getting reversed and smacked down. Fortunately his Rising/Burning Phoenix can be all but negated with the proper capes, and he leaves himself open after Spiral Destruction/Neo Swarm/Prettymucheverythinghedoes. At a certain HP he begins spamming Doomensional Strike, and always follows up with Sonic Blade is he misses...which is annoying since he just repeats endlessly like Valkyrie if you're in range. He can't be DDC'd or Quasi Seal'd, so it's a straight up duel in the end. Overall it's not too bad, though I really took my sweet time with it.

Hah, did you plan that ending? Sehr gut.

[Vercsase]

@pieoverlord I was honestly expecting the last Sonic Blade to take him out, totally forgot about Final...Justice....

Nicely done man. As fun as this fight is it always turns in to a long drawn out escapade with me swapping accessories every 5 seconds trying to regen back what little HP and TP I can and using fire accessories to negate his artes. Should take 5 minutes but ends up taking 20. Nice to see you handle him in a much... cleaner manner.

Nice timing on the Eruption and Indignation dodge (and jumping back in after the effect passes).
