It is important that all raid members are ready before allowing the boss to perform Iridis Liberatio. This can be communicated by sending an "OK" sticker while the omen is displayed and after all preparations are complete.
This is due to the boss gaining Auroral CurtainDEF and debuff resistance are boosted (Can only be removed by removing 3 Pearls) after Iridis Liberatio. This is a global buff and will prevent certain key debuffs such as Rei's Cold StareTake control of all foes, inflicting Cold StareUnder Rei's control, reducing elemental DMG dealt to 0 (Can't be removed / Ends if Rei is not a main ally) Base Accuracy: Guaranteed to land if the foe does not have 100% debuff resistance (10,000% base accuracy)Duration: 1 turn Local status effect on all foes. and Percival (Grand)'s RegierenInflict GrovelElemental DMG dealt by foes is reduced to 0 (Can't be removed / Can't be extended) Base Accuracy: Guaranteed to land if the foe does not have 100% debuff resistance (10,000% base accuracy)Duration: 1 turn Local status effect and PetrifiedCharge diamonds don't fill up Base Accuracy: 200%Duration: 3 turnsLocal status effect on a foe. from landing.
On the next turn, the boss will ready Sky Dragon's Trial.
The trial must be cleared within 6 turns by dealing:
18 triple attacks OR 18 charge attacks.
Players should NOT use Instant Omen-Cancelling effects like Yamato's Seasplitter3-hit Elemental damage to a foe (4000% total / Damage cap: ~6,000,000 total1st hit: ~1,500,000 2nd hit: ~2,000,000 3rd hit: ~2,500,000). Cancel all cancelable Omens. (Can only be used when YashioriATK is boosted based on lvl (Max: 8 / Can't be removed) Multiplier: Perpetuity lvl is 8 or higher and a cancelable Omen is active. Can't be recast.) as they will end the trial, but not remove a Pearl.
Auroral CalamityATK is boosted / DMG taken is capped based on number of Pearls (Can only be removed by removing all Pearls) will cap the amount of damage the boss will take. It is recommended to wait for Elemental Pearls to be removed before taking turns.
It is common (but not obligatory) for players to use their corresponding element sticker after successfully cancelling the trial omen.
Once the Sky Dragon's Trial ends, the boss replaces all Origination's CrucibleSpecs of an upcoming special action are boosted (Can't be removed / Max: 20 / Lvl rises upon phase changes based on Dragon Energy lvls) Local status effect lvls with Origination's HaloBased on lvl: Triple attack rate is boosted / DMG dealt is supplemented / Removes buffs upon normal attacks (Can't be removed) Local status effect lvls.

Phase 5
Phase 5 Overview
Phase 5 15% - 0%
Goal:Deal as much damage as possible!
The boss will ready a series of 7 omens in the following order:
Ruptus Ardor (Fated Chain)
Ruptus Torrens (20,000,000 C.A. DMG)
Rupta Tellus (20,000,000 Skill DMG)
Rupta Tempestas (10 Debuffs)
Ruptus Splendor (2,000,000 DMG 10 times)
Ruptus Tenebra (Fated Chain)
Rationale Exitium (Uncancellable / Party Wipe)
Each omen deals a significant amount of damage alongside deadly debuffs. As such, your team should be constructed in a way that can fulfill the omen cancel requirements.
The final omen will knock out all allies and sub allies so these 7 turns are the final opportunity to deal damage to the boss.
Sandalphon
This is our final battle! Make every turn count and be mindful of Haloed CatalysisLvl rises by 1 when an ally uses a skill / When an ally uses a skill at lvl 5: Reset lvl / Plain DMG to all allies / Skill Sealed effect (Consumes 1 Origination's Halo lvl) (Can't be removed / Max: 5) Local status effect stacks.
