Boss Fight[]
This fight is similar to the Chaotic Trio battle. In similar fashion, it is one of the most difficult battles in the game.
The first priority is defeating one of them so that they can no longer use Machina Formation. Nasca should be the first target; while his attack power is significantly lower than his comrades, his abilities to heal and blind can drag out the battle. Due to his resistance to elemental attacks, prioritize attacking with Sagi and Milly, with Guillo focusing on healing.
Once Nasca is defeated, focus on attacking Heughes, as his HP is far lower than Valara's. Unlike Nasca, he has no elemental resistances, so he should fall far more easily. Keep yourself healed throughout the battle, as either one can deal massive damage with no warning.
