Strategy

Akasha is the boss of Chapter 62, part 4. It has two phase-changes at 66% and 33%.

In the first phase, it frequently multi-attacks. Its normal charge attack is Pillar of Salt, which deals AoE damage and Confuses. Its OD charge attack is Rivalry, which deals AoE damage and applies Rivalry, which has a 50% chance of healing or damaging the character. Overall, Akasha is not very threatening in this phase, making it a good phase to set up your power spikes and apply debuffs.

In the second phase, it has a single, stronger attack. Its OD charge attack is Megiddo, which deals large AoE damage and applies a debuff (currently unknown, this editor had Veil up most of the fight). At 50% it will automatically apply a 1-turn countdown, which should be Cleansed.

In the third phase, it starts multi-attacking again (with the stronger attack). It also uses another 1-turn countdown spell, so keep Cleanse ready. At 25%, it auto-casts Ancient Flare, which deals large fire damage and applies burn, so prepare Veil and/or Damage Cut before hitting that threshold. Its charge attack deals random elemental damage and applies a to the party and a buff to Akasha. Its OD charge attack deals large AoE damage. At 10%, it will auto-cast a special charge attack that reduces the entire front-line to 1hp. It is recommended to save heals, substitutes, etc. for after this to buy the final few turns needed to kill it.

Overall, Akasha is a long and grindy but not particularly threatening fight. Blind and Charm reduce its auto-attack damage to almost nothing, while a healthy supply of Heal, Cleanse, and Veil can deal with the rest (Story Katalina excels here). The most important part is not to get trigger happy and be willing to stall for a few turns near the phase thresholds so that the relevant abilities are ready when they occur.

As always, players with weaker grids have the option of intentionally dying to the boss and retreating 2 times to come back with a +100% ATK and HP bonus.
