Final Boss: Drole and Gloxinia

Published: March 21 2023

# Characters to use

### Best team for points

* Red King: King will provide mainly AOE damage to keep granting both units of buffs since Drole’s Commandment of Patience will be active. The Explosion multiplier is vital to land more points, and having his Holy Relic is required.
* Green Halloween Gowther: His Unique helps us get better offensive stats over time. Also, he can rank up the cards we need.
* Green Princess Elizabeth: Can remove enemy buffs with her attack card since rank 1. Also, she can keep healing and removing debuffs.
* Green Deathpierce: As a Sub unit, he’s only here for his Unique, which will ensure we get crits by decreasing enemies’ Crit Resistance and Crit Defense; thus, it will make King’s Explosion damage stronger.

### Alternative characters

* Red Roxy: She can be a suitable replacement for Red King if you don’t have him or can’t upgrade him since she also has an Explosion card.
* Red Kizuna: She can remove debuffs from your units while increasing your Attack-related stats. Her buff is also welcome since it gives your units debuff immunity and increases your stats even further.
* Red Ragnarok Ban: A suitable replacement for Green Deathpierce if you haven’t upgraded him enough. He can increase your offensive stats while decreasing enemies’ Pierce Rate, Crit Chance, and Crit Damage.
* Red Elizabeth: She can heal your units every turn from the back, preventing them from dying if they’re not strong enough.

### Best team for farming

* Red Sigurd: When used along with Red Brunhild, Sigurd can grant her at least two buffs for her AOE skill to deal a lot of damage, allowing them to form a decent point team that will at least give you all the rewards, also if he gets attacked with Drole alive he will get more buffs, which is helpful to make his Amplify skill stronger.
* Red Brunhild: When used along Red Sigurd, Brunhild’s Unique will help to give her more damage, decreasing their Defense-related stats and their Attack-related stats.
* Green New King Arthur: He will increase the damage dealt by your units even further while at the same time decreasing the damage they take. His Holy Relic is useful in weakening your enemies.
* Green Deathpierce: Same as the other team, he’s only present to decrease the defensive capabilities of the enemy.

### Alternative characters

* Light “The One” Ultimate Escanor: Escanor will help us end this Final Boss fast since he is one of the strongest units in the game. Both of his skills can deal massive damage to all enemies.
* Red Kizuna: She can cleanse us from debuffs while increasing our Attack-related stats. Her buff is also welcome since it gives us debuff immunity and even more stats.
* Green Merlin: Same as Deathpierce, she’s only in the team because of her Unique; it works for farming points using heroes with a high-damage Ultimate Move such as Light “The One” Ultimate Escanor. If this is your to-go team, you should go for Ultimate Move Orbs food.
* Light Mael of Sunshine: He can deal massive damage if using only Goddesses on your team (Or units who have Goddess as a extra race) with both of his skills, allowing you to speedrun this final boss while also getting a decent score.
* Red Sariel: His AOE will activate Drole’s Commandment while his single target deals more damage based on the enemy's Resistance, thanks to the Power Strike multiplier. Also, his Unique increases the stats of all your units on the field since the start. Having his Holy Relic to increase his stats even further is recommended.
* Red Tarmiel: He increases your units stats thanks to his Unique and Grace, making them more potent over time.
* Light Eternal Rebirth Elizabeth: Both of her cards are powerful to help clear this content quickly. On the other hand, the increase in stats she provides to all your units once they use enough skills is also a welcome addition.
* Blue Festival Ludociel: Her buffs, Unique and Holy Relic, will help strengthen your units and cleanse them from debuffs if they get locked or lack the necessary damage. Though the bosses have block buffs debuff that can stop her from cleansing if you have no other cleanse unit.
* Red Elizabeth: Same as in the points team, she’s helpful to heal up your units as a Sub.
* Red Ragnarok Ban: A suitable replacement for Green Deathpierce in this team. He can increase your damage output.
* Blue Nanashi: Since your damage is already significant in some cases, Nanashi can provide your teams with some defensive capabilities and some degree of Ult Control over the Final Boss.
* Blue Festival Berserk Estarossa: Unlike other FInal Bosses they are not immune to debuffs nor Darkness meaning they can be inflicted with Encroach though due to them taking less damage from Demon heroes you need to use non-demon hero to take advantage of the massive stat decrease
* Green Demon Lord Rimuru Tempest - Drole's Commandment of Paitence will allow Rimuru's unique and pasive to build up quickly to activate his peirce increase buff and allow him to easily strike both Drole and Gloxinia quickly.

## General Strategy

Overall, there are some essential pointers for this Final Boss:

* Drole and Gloxinia will fight at the same time during both Phases.
* During Phase 2, they will change Battle State, which also changes their abilities.
* Only Drole’s Commandment will remain active.
* Drole’s Unique increases Gloxinia’s attack for each stack of his Commandment.
* Both units will decrease damage taken from Demon race units by 500% in both Phases, therefor Dark Purgatory Meliodas, Dark Traitor Meliodas, and other Demon units will not be considered.
* In Phase two one of their battle stances make them take 50% more damage from female heros

### Points strategy

The most optimal team for a high score is:

* **Red King:** Attack / Crit damage
* **Green Princess Elizabeth:** HP / Defense
* **Green Halloween Gowther:** HP / Defense
* **Green Deathpierce:** HP / Defense

This strategy focuses on spamming AOE attacks to accumulate buffs on both enemies to remove them. Try to attack first with Gowther; this will cause King to deal more damage. Explosion debuff will be your primary source of damage and score. Removing buffs granted by the Commandment of Patience will also give you many points.

During your first turn, you should use your rank up on King, attack with Gowther to set a debuff, and attack with King’s Explosion card. On your second turn, you can spam AOE skills and keep stacking buffs on both enemies. For your 3rd turn, Drole will set Heavy Metal. You can easily remove this with Elizabeth's attack skill (along with the rest of his buffs).

Avoid using your Ultimate Move since it will reduce your score significantly (you can take advantage of Phase 2 for this). Make sure you don’t use Red Tarmiel as a link in this strategy to prevent Drole from getting his skills blocked, which will make him unable to use Heavy Metal.

During Phase 2, Drole can steal 1 Ultimate Move orb from any enemy he attacks, and he will have Heavy Metal replaced with an AOE attack skill, which will help you clean your hand if you end up rushing your Ultimate Move in any of your units.

Overall, the second Phase is pretty much the same as the first, so you can follow the same pattern of attacking to stack buffs and then remove them with Elizabeth when they reach a decent number. Ideally, you will have at least one rank 3 Explosion or two ranks 2.

Remember to use the Explosion skill only if you have it at least at rank 2. Keep attacking with King and Gowther to keep them getting more buffs and remove them with Elizabeth before finishing off both enemies. A good way of taking advantage of this would be

### Farming strategy

The most optimal team for a farming points strategy while at the same time having a decent score (which guarantees all rewards) consists of the following:

* **Red Sigurd:** (Attack / Defense)
* **Red Brunhild:** (Attack / Crit Damage)
* **Green New King Arthur:** (Attack / Crit Damage)
* **Green Deathpierce:** (HP/Defense)

This strategy uses a different and more direct way of playing, taking advantage of all the Uniques of your units. Arthur’s Unique will increase the damage dealt by your units and reduce the damage received. Brunhild’s will set a debuff on your enemies, which decreases their Attack-related stats and Defense-related stats and, at the same time, will increase her Basic Stats thanks to Sigurd. Furthermore, Sigurd’s Unique will place a buff on all your units for each enemy affected by debuffs. Since you won’t use a buff skill directly (instead, it’s part of your Unique), the “Clear without using buff skills” mission will still be considered accomplished.

Remember: Using Sigurd’s Extort card will count as a buff skill, so avoid using it.

For this team, you can mainly use Brunhild’s Weak Point skill. Focus on killing Gloxinia during both Phases. It is to ensure that Drole keeps stacking buffs on your units (especially Sigurd to make his Amplify skill more potent), but also because during Phase 2, Gloxinia can disable attack skills, rendering all your units unusable and making your run harder (if not impossible to win in some cases). You can use auto based on how potent this team is.

### Speedrun strategy

The most optimal team for farming points in a few turns (although with a low score) includes:

* **Light “The One” Ultimate Escanor:** (Attack / Crit Damage)
* **Green New King Arthur -** (Attack / Crit Damage)
* **Red Halloween Gowther -** (HP / Defense)
* **Green Merlin -** (HP / Defense)

This team uses Ultimate Move Gauge food to maximize Merlin’s Unique, helping you get your Ultimate Move ready as soon as possible for Phase 2. On your first turn, you should rank up Escanor and use both of his attacks to clean the field.
On your next turn, depending on if you killed both enemies, you should have moved to Phase 2. If both didn’t die, just use this turn to finish the Phase and move on to Phase 2, where all you have to do is use your Ultimate Move to finish the run.

This Final Boss is kind of RNG dependent with some teams; it can be perceived as more accessible but requires some specific units to get high scores that can be difficult to consider upgrading since you won’t use them out of this content. Hence why Farming Strategy teams (such as Ragnarok or Ark) are the most recommended for F2P players.
