Bellmoth Guide

Unlocked after clearing [Episode 204] of the main story, Demonic Beast Bellmoth can be summoned 3 times per day by filling up the Death Match meter in Boss Battles. It is the main source of Bellmoth’s Core, a material used to Limit Break heroes from Level 80 to 90. Hell difficulty is unlocked separately after clearing [Episode 222].

Bellmoth is a Demonic Beast which has wrapped its two front feet with vines. It uses the energy created from the core in its chest to destroy everything in its path. While Gray Demon in flight mode only takes damage from ranged attacks, **Bellmoth, on the other hand, evades ranged attack skills and only takes damage from melee attacks and Ultimate Moves**.

It is highly recommended to use heroes with Stance Cancel and Charge attacks.

## Strategy and Team Composition

Unlike the Gray Demon, Bellmoth dodges all ranged skills (excluding Ultimate Moves). While this can prove bothersome, there are plenty of units to bring to the table. For this Death Match, you’ll want two DPS units on your team along with a support unit of some sort.

In terms of lower difficulties, it can be brute forced quite easily. However, you’ll want to make sure your units are at least level 90 or higher already to do this. A big thing to note with this boss is that the lower HP it is when attacking, the more damage it will deal. As such, if you are going to attack heavily, make sure you kill it for that phase, or it will deal massive damage to your team. If you really aren’t sure if you can do so, deal a small amount of damage and leave it for the next turn.

For Hell difficulty, you will actually need a strategy. To make the most ideal teams, there are certain units that you or your ally will need. The four main units to have on either team is Green Zaneri, Green Halloween Gowther, Green Liz, and Green Thonar.

While they are not all required to defeat the stage, it will make things much easier for you. Zaneri is the only HP (Green) unit that cleanses Debuff effects as a rank 1 skill currently while still allowing you to use Green Liz on the same team (as Liz can not be used on the same team as Elizabeth, who is the only other good Cleanse unit). Green Liz herself is there not only to do some damage, but to also rank up all skills for team assuming her Unique Ability’s conditions are fulfilled. Lastly, Green Halloween Gowther can raise allies’ Attack-related stats and rank up skills. In essence, the way you use them together is to essentially set up the other team. Liz ranks up the skills within the team, Zaneri cleanses the Debuff the boss places on you, and Gowther ranks up the skills of both teams. Due to the cleansing effect, Green Thonar’s Unique Ability is activated in the sub slot, granting the team increased Attack power. In the best case scenario, the allied team you use would have these units on the same team together as the AI will use them properly.

Note: Only one team needs Green Thonar in the sub slot.

On the other hand, the other team can be more based around DPS and another support unit of some sort. Units such as Light “The One” Ultimate Escanor, Dark Traitor Meliodas, or Dark Purgatory Meliodas are good choices for DPS. Some HP attribute options can be Green Zaratras, Green Brunhild, or even Green Derieri.

A support to use on the DPS team can differ. If you have Green Festival Gowther (with his Holy Relic), he can offer support while doing damage himself or use Green Helbram for a bigger Attack-related stat boss, but his damage is nonexistent. You can also use your own Green Gowther unit. Otherwise, you can utilize a third DPS unit. Lastly, use Green Merlin in the sub slot to help with getting Ultimate Move Gauge throughout the fight.

Once in the battle, after Gowther ranks up everyone’s skills, use the appropriate DPS skills to kill the boss in the first phase. Afterwards, the AI ally should use some DPS skills and you should do the same to kill the boss in a single turn in the second phase. By the third phase, you may have Festival Gowther’s Ultimate Move Gauge filled which will give you team more Attack-related stats. Otherwise, use any DPS ultimates you have or normal skills to kill the boss. You want to use Ultimates right away as the boss can steal Ultimate Move Gauge in this phase, even if it does take reduced damage. If you are unsure of your ability to defeat the boss in a single turn, let the AI attack and do not attack yourself until the next turn where you may have better skills to attack, though if you have Green Estarossa on the team with his ult ready you can proceed to attack as his ult move will skip the boss' turn when it attacks and allow you to finish it off as well as save your units from taking massive damage or be wiped out hers.
