MYU

This oversized robot is one of the strongest Guardians of the Tower of Harvestasha, and it will attack the party while Akane sings EXEC_METEMPSYCHOSIS/. to open up the Rinkernator and revive Tyria. That's why the battle against this monster is called the Battle of Fate: the player has around five minutes to destroy MYU. If they manage to do so, they will be allowed to choose between the Normal and True Endings at the end of Phase 3, but if they run out of time, Saki and Finnel won't be able to continue singing due to the lack of Symphonic Power, which will ruin any possibility of reviving Tyria and thus, they will be able to choose only between the Normal and Bad Endings.
Therefore, if the player plans to proceed to Phase 4 and attain the True Endings, they must sure to defeat it, although it won't be an easy task: MYU has an enormous amount of HP regardless of difficulty and it's nigh immune to Song Magic attacks, so even a well-charged Flipsphere won't be enough to kill it. Likewise, it has a large defense and attack power, and its physical attacks, which consist of stomping the ground to generate shockwaves and launching the missiles on its wings, hit multiple times for high damage and can cause all status ailments on all characters they hit. And as if this wasn't enough, its Stored Attack: Ar tonelico Ver. 1, in which it joins its wings to turn them into a laser cannon and fire a beam which releases explosions upon impact, causes large damage to all party members, so if the player doesn't keep their HP high, it will undoubtedly kill off their whole party. And interrupting this attack is pretty much impossible in higher difficulties, unless they have their inventory stocked with attack items.
The best way you will have for defeating this mechanical monstrosity is using the Ultra Supermoves, as MYU's physical resistance is pretty much nonexistent during the initial stages of the battle: they should Purge theirr Reyvateil to Lv. 4, let the Burst accumulate for a while, and then unleash all of the skills of this type they have synthesized at this point, which if they have been diligent about synthesizing items, they should have them all by the time this battle takes place. They should also mind that once MYU's HP has dropped to 45% or less, it will activate a special passive skill called Mode Shift, in which it becomes extremely resistant to physical attacks, all elements and also gains extra attack power and defense. However, the Mode Shift has a fatal flaw: it reduces its Song Magic resistance to almost nothing, so once he has changed modes, they can just unleash a Flipsphere to finish it off. All in all, they should be able to finish it off with plenty of time to spare.
As a final note, players can keep track of how much time they still have left not just by looking at how many of the Rinkernator's walls have opened, but also by looking at the colored lines that are located at the borders of the battlefield, one being right below where the Reyvateil is singing. These lines change from blue to yellow, and then to red to indicate how much time remains. However, if the line turns red, that means the timit limit will expire in less than a minute, so unless they want to get the Bad Ending, they should hurry up and finish MYU off at once.
