How to Beat Iron Giant

Before the Fight

  • Run a magic heavy party and check that builds raise magic, not attack.
  • Bring Lightning casters such as Sakura, Tronn and Shantotto.
  • Pack Protect or a Multi-Cover tank for its physical hits.

Iron Giant Strategy

Leave the Swords Sheathed

Physical attacks barely hurt it and trigger counters. Let spells do all the work.

Lightning, Same as the Prologue

It is weak to Lightning, same as in the prologue. Sakura, Tronn and Shantotto bring strong magic Lightning.

Stack Physical Defense

Every attack it has is physical. Raise defense with gear and Protect, or let a Multi-Cover tank take the hits for everyone.
