What are Goblu's fighting mechanics?

This is the second boss in history, and the battle features a new character skilled at single-target attacks: Maelle. Here is the key information you need to know about the Goblu:

  • He is vulnerable to the Lightning element
  • It has a zone attack that hits 3 times
  • He invokes red and blue flowers. These flowers are to be destroyed using your shots, targeting their cores. This means you won't have to destroy extra shields on the boss and take more damage.

  • The Goblu can inflict massive damage with a powerful strike on a single character.

Tips for beating Goblu?

To defeat the Goblu more easily, you'll need to know its strengths and weaknesses so you can adapt your tactics. Here are the tips you need to know:

  • Take advantage of elementary weakness related to the zone: the lightning damage. Maelle and Gustave have several skills that use lightning.
  • The burns are always effective against bosss, especially when you can stack them with Moon and Maelle.
  • Don't forget to destroy the flowers by targeting their weak points with your characters' shots. Shields and the increased damage caused by Goblu flowers are an added difficulty.
  • The Gustave's overload is always an excellent source of damage to finish off the boss at the end of a fight.
