Best Party Composition
For an optimal strategy, consider assembling a party that excels in buffing your team and debuffing the boss. Junpei and Mitsuru prove to be excellent choices for their contributions, while Yukari stands out as a proficient healer.
Despite Akihiko's prowess in combat, his reliance on Strike and Electric attacks renders him ineffective in this particular encounter. Substituting him with another party member capable of leveraging their skills against Minotaur Nulla is advisable.
While Akihiko's Theurgy attacks can bypass Minotaur Nulla's resistances, keep in mind that it requires time to accumulate the necessary meter.
Additionally, due to Koromaru's susceptibility to Light attacks, it's prudent to station him at the entrance. Allowing Minotaur Nulla to exploit a weakness grants them an extra action, potentially posing a lethal threat.
How To Beat Minotaur Nulla
To conquer Minotaur Nulla, employ a winning strategy by enhancing your party's defense and diminishing the adversary's attack and defense. Given the shadow's formidable strikes, reinforcing your defenses is crucial for survival during its turn.Utilize Charge and Concentrate abilities to amplify your damage output, ensuring avoidance of Strike abilities. Keep a vigilant eye on Theurgy skills, as they effectively nullify resistances and contribute to depleting the Gatekeeper's health.
Maintain a proactive healing approach, addressing low health promptly. Even when at full health, there's a substantial risk of party members facing imminent wipeout when Minotaur Nulla employs Heat Riser before an attack. Stay vigilant to secure victory in this challenging encounter.
