Fight Overview

This new Chaos is not as hard as the last one, but still requires some attention to the fight mechanics. Healers are recommended, and you need to make sure your team is not outrun by these enemies who specialize in speed manipulation. Characters who can buff speed or have free turns will make the second wave much safer.

Both waves have two enemies, so characters with good group damage can exploit that. You will need some heavy hitters to make up for the high HP and defense on these foes. Debuffers will not work so well for the second wave, unless they rely on framed debuffs; unframed ones will be cleansed frequently. Tanks help in both waves, but the second one has very frequent attacks, and some tanks will be unable to keep the party safe from them.

Shiva and Leviathan are summon options that help deal with the speed issue, by making your team faster or the enemies slower.

The Krakens in the first wave are nothing too different from the other Krakens we’ve fought in the past, except they have a ton more HP. Their main deal is using Unbind to improve their SPD and turn rate, while inflicting SPD down on your team to further increase the speed difference. The net result is that if you don’t bring any ways to counter their speed manipulation, they are likely to have several turns back to back while under the effects of Unbind. Apart from that, they also love Blinding your team and lowering their DEF, so having some way to avoid debuffs can make the wave easier to deal with.

Watch out for their opening moves with double attacks. If they break your party, your run might end with a quick KO right at the start. Since the Krakens do not enrage when one dies, you may choose to focus your attacks on a single target until it is gone, since a Kraken alone is not nearly as dangerous. Almost all of their attacks are single-target, so tanks who can keep their focus work well here.

The Flutter Jellies have the ability to inflict SPD Down and Turn Rate down on your team, while being immune to (unframed) SPD Down debuffs. That is no coincidence; their main gimmick is entering the “Concentrating…” stance as a bonus action right after doing one of their other attacks. When that happens, the Jelly will be surrounded by glowing pollen and their next attack will be Spinning Blades+, a more dangerous version of Spinning Blades which not only deals higher damage, but also cleanses even framed debuffs from them. The only way to prevent that “+” version is for your characters to take a total of 3 actions before the Jelly’s next turn (or 4 actions when they are under 50% HP). If it happens, a message will say that “Concentration appears lost”). That will depower their spinning blades, lowering its damage and making it unable to remove framed debuffs.

It is not hard to break their concentration, as long as you have a reasonably fast team and avoid getting broken. Characters with free turns also help greatly with this. If you find yourself in a pinch, having only two characters able to act before the glowing Jelly’s next turn, you can use any free turn ability – even an AA – and then take their two regular actions. (Calling your summon or swapping to the friend unit do not count as actions.) The Jelly cannot be delayed by any skills while concentrating, but you can still break them to push them back a turn if needed, so characters with guaranteed breaks or re-breaks are valuable.

Getting rid of the pollen will not stop them from using the regular Spinning Blades, which annoyingly removes all unframed debuffs. If no one is broken by the attack, it will deal a bit over 2k damage to each party member. But since they use it so frequently, having a reasonable amount of healing is required to complete the fight.
