3 things to understand first
- Prioritize Ryōshū's Slash resistance, HP, and ability to keep winning clashes.
- Beat Dismay first; also target Resentment and Futility to apply their debuffs.
- Survive with the second half's fully s and its three-turn HP floor in mind.
GUIDEKeys to the fight
Turn numbers indicate a typical sequence. HP loss and Stagger can change the order, so also check the names of the skills the enemy is using.
Find a response based on how you lost
- Meursault and Outis disappear
- The second half begins when the enemy reaches 0 HP or at least one Sinner other than Ryōshū dies. The other Sinners dying during the transition is part of the battle; from then on, fight with Ryōshū's skills alone.
- Ryōshū loses HP even after clash wins
- In the second half, every enemy is Unbreakable. Use Dismay's , Resentment's reduction, and Futility's SP reduction, alongside Slash resistance and defense, to limit remaining damage.
- The enemy stays at a sliver of HP
- The second half has a 210 HP floor through the end of its third turn. Survive without spending every skill, then lower the remaining HP. Reaching 122 HP or less triggers the final event.
Before deployment
Choose a Ryōshū Identity that can survive alone
- Recommended Lv. 60 with the required Ryōshū, Meursault, and Outis. Only Ryōshū remains in the second half, so prioritize her levels and Slash resistance.
- Effects that increase her damage taken are costly in a solo duel. Compare HP, resistances, and regular-skill clash strength as well as damage output.
- Wrath, Gloom, and Slash work well against the enemy. Prioritize clashes against debuffing skills over piling on unopposed attacks against weaknesses.
First half · Three Sinners
Protect Ryōshū's HP through the transition
- Ryōshū's lowers the Nursefather's SP by 5 on clash wins. Assign winning clashes to her and generate resources too.
- Only the target with the corresponding Dawn's First Crow, The Sun's Descent, or Eventide Glow can clash with “”. Use the marked Sinner's skill rather than trying to take over with someone faster.
- The event triggers at 0 enemy HP or when at least one Sinner other than Ryōshū dies. Do not spend all resources keeping Meursault and Outis alive; save Ryōshū's skills for the second half.
Second half · Ryōshū alone
Handle Dismay first to weaken the remaining attacks
- Ryōshū's grants three extra skill slots and +50% damage against the Nursefather. The enemy gains the same-named , but its effects differ: all s become Unbreakable and Final Power increases by 4.
- Beat Dismay first to apply 3 and −5 SP. Targeting Resentment's slot lowers by 10; targeting Futility's lowers SP by 5.
- Apply debuffs before handling the remaining regular skills and Swift Glimmer. Unbreakable attacks remain after clash wins, so check HP and Slash resistance.
Second half · Four-turn cycle
Watch for dangerous skills and save strong options
- Cycle turn 1 uses Dismay, Resentment, Phantom Step, and Tripleslash; turn 2 uses Dismay, Futility, Twinslash, and Swift Glimmer. Winning against Swift Glimmer reduces its Atk Weight.
- Cycle turn 3 uses Dismay, Futility, Phantom Step, and Twinslash - Echoshear; turn 4 uses Dismay, “”, Tripleslash, and Inevitable Termination. The cycle then repeats.
- Winning against Phantom Step halves Bladetrail. Inevitable Termination reuses on a kill or , so save a strong clash for cycle turn 4.
- The second half has a 210 HP floor through the end of its third turn. Do not rush to spend all your damage; once the floor is lifted, lower HP to 122 or less to finish.
NOTESUnique effects and cautions
Easy-to-miss details
- Do not assume Ryōshū retains first-half prevention from in the second half.
- Resentment and Futility apply debuffs at Combat Start if an attack targets their slot. This timing differs from Dismay's Lose effect.
- The second half's +4 Final Power and fully s are not permanently included in the table's base values.
- Ryōshū's generates resources at most twice per turn, rather than without limit in every slot.
Ryōshū's first-half effect. Deals and takes 20% more damage against the Nursefather; clash wins lower his SP by 5. Prevents , removes , and grants 1 next turn. Using skills generates resources.

The Nursefather's second-half effect: all s become Unbreakable and Final Power +4. Ryōshū's same-named effect instead grants three extra slots, +50% damage against the Nursefather, and resource generation.

Enemy damage falls, but your attacks become less effective too.
Maximum 20. Damage dealt and taken +2% per stack. Gained while SP is below 0.

PARTYRecommended teams and preparation
What to prepare first
- Recommended Lv. 60. Prioritize Ryōshū's levels, Slash resistance, and strong clashes.
- Prepare enemy-debuffing skills for the other two Sinners in the first half, but do not make second-half survival depend on another Sinner's healing.
Ryōshū's survival and sustained clashes
Ryōshū alone takes the Unbreakable damage in the second half.
Respond to first-half marks
Stop “” with the designated Sinner.
Second-half debuff sequence
Use Dismay, Resentment, and Futility to survive the remaining attacks.
One ally can fill several roles. First choose a main fighter who can win Clashes, then assign responsibilities for dangerous attacks and special mechanics.
