What to bring against this boss

A party from all 38 heroes of the game, at level 1 and without stars — so what shows is the hero, not the investment in them.

Aelon — Ether
Aurelius — Ether
Aurora — Ether
Lumina — Ether
Theron — Ether

Why this party

Ether hits the chapter's school for ×1.5
the boss reduces incoming damage by 7 — one big hit lands better than five small ones
the rage turns on at 50% health — shields and barriers are worth more
the boss inflicts effects — cleansing cancels them at once
the party has team healing
the party has a tank

The advice is assembled from data: element against the chapter's school, the boss's traits, role balance and variety of abilities. The weights of the terms are reasoning, not a measurement in battle.

Opening

Lower still — a hall where the Grey Forebears stand: those who were before the schools and the elements, turned to silent stone.

At their head is the Grey Patriarch, who remembers the make of the world before the first crack. He will not let me pass without an answer.

Ending

The Patriarch split apart — and in the shards of constancy I saw the law that held the world whole.

From the stone steps a keeper of seals: Mirella, Voice of Constancy. "I bound what falls apart. Let me bind your ranks as well."

The hall is behind me — ahead is the Sundering itself.
