Final Boss (Origin Fragment): Chandler

Published May 25 2023

# Characters to use

### Best team for points

* Blue Festival Ludociel: Her cleanse can be helpful by removing Ignites (and other debuffs) from your allies, while her Unique and Holy Relic can provide some utility for herself and her allies.
* Red Sariel: One of your damage dealers, his Power Strike skill and his Ultimate Move can hurt Chandler seriously. On the other hand, his Unique provides more Basic Stats for his Goddess allies, while his Holy Relic can increase further his Basic Stats.
* Red Tarmiel: He works as a semi-support and semi-DPS unit. His Flood skill can help in dealing some damage to Chandler; on the other hand, he can also increase the Attack of all his allies. Furthermore, his Unique helps to increase his survivability while, at the same time, strengthening his allies by increasing their stats every time he heals himself with his Grace.
* Red Elizabeth (sub): Her Unique works even as a Sub-unit by continuously healing her teammates. Also, her Holy Relic gives HP-related stats to them, further increasing their durability.

### Best team for fast farming

* Red Freyja: She should rush her Ultimate Move as soon as possible while using her Flood card to attack Chandler and chip some damage from him. At least a level 2 on the Ultimate Move is required.
* Green Festival Gowther: He should try to get to 4 orbs as soon as possible so he gets his fifth Ultimate Move Gauge orb the same turn as Freyja uses her own Ultimate Move. This is to make the most of his Holy Relic activation.
* Red Skadi: She’s mainly there for her Unique, which will decrease all enemies’ Attack and Defense by 8% while increasing your units’ damage dealt by 15% for each Debuff on her. Her Holy Relic is not required.
* Green Merlin (sub): Since we’re aiming for an Ult Rush strategy, Green Merlin’s Unique, along with Ultimate Move Gauge food, is necessary. Her Holy Relic can also help to get more damage dealt if you have low levels in Freyja’s Ultimate Move.

#### Alternative characters

* Red Rudeus: His Unique increases the damage dealt by him for each single-target skill used by him or his teammates. When he reaches 5 orbs, his single-target skills (including his Ultimate Move) will also get an extra boost in their Crit Chance and damage dealt.
* Red Eris: Her single target skill will help to charge up Rudeus’ Magic Orbs and provide all her allies with Attack-related stats and extra damage dealt. Her Holy Relic will further increase the damage her allies deal based on the number of orbs Rudeus has.
* Red Reinhard: His skills can deal massive damage. Also, his Unique can help him in adding more versatility.
* Blue Hawk & Elizabeth: Her Unique helps him to increase her allies’ stats depending on how many debuffs she has on herself. Since one of Chandler’s minions repeatedly sets debuffs on all enemies, it will benefit your team immensely if an AOE skill isn’t used.
* Blue “The One” Escanor: A high DPS unit, although he must have many dupes since that will guarantee that Chandler dies to Escanor’s Ultimate Move. His other two skills can deal massive damage while at the same time, can help in charging Red Rudeus’ orbs.
* Red Kizuna: She can increase the rank of her skills by attacking while at the same time providing Attack-related stats to her allies if she has her Holy Relic. Furthermore, her buff skill can increase her allies’ Basic Stats even more.
* Green Deathpierce (sub): His Unique decreases the defensive capabilities of his enemies by reducing their Crit Resistance and Crit Defense, making them more prone to receive critical strikes.
* Red Twigo (sub): Increases Strength attribute allies’ HP, effectively making them tankier and less likely to get killed.

## General Strategy

Overall, there are some essential pointers for this Final Boss

* The two minions accompanying Chandler provide several effects to him and his allies if they remain at 100% HP at the start of every turn: the one at the left will increase all allies’ Attack-related stats by 15% (stacks up to 5 times), and the one at the left will apply 3 Ignite stacks on all enemies (stacks up to 9 times). Also, when they die, they apply other effects: the left one increases all allies' HP-related stats by 70%, while the one on the right increases all allies' Attack-related stats by 50%. During Phase 2, they have an Immortality buff
* Units from specific attributes (HP, Light, and Dark) are not recommendable to engage against this Final Boss, since Chandler will receive a massive boost if he receives damage from a unit with any of those attributes.
* Chandler will take more damage based on the amount of HP he has. The less HP he has, the more damage he takes.

### Points strategy

The most optimal team for a high score is:

* Blue Festival Ludociel: HP / Defense (Holy Relic required)
* Red Sariel: Attack / Crit Damage (Holy Relic required)
* Red Tarmiel: HP / Defense (Holy Relic unnecessary)
* Red Elizabeth: HP / Defense (Holy Relic optional)

You should avoid killing the minions to avoid providing Chandler with those extra stats, which would probably kill your run. Every turn, you should keep attacking Chandler with single-target skills to avoid killing his minions by mistake and deal some damage to Chandler in preparation for using your Ultimate Moves to kill him. Stack Ignites on your units until your 3rd turn (at least), and proceed to cleanse them with Ludociel’s buff skill. You should already have at least one Ultimate Move; on your fourth turn, you can attack Chandler with everything you’ve got since Ultimate Moves won’t deal a lot of damage in the second Phase.

During the second Phase, you should attack Chandler with everything you’ve got to your heart’s content. On the second turn of this Phase, Chandler will set a Stance which counters, but since your stats are already high, you won’t notice the damage taken from the counters. Furthermore, in his turn 3, he will use an Extort skill on one of your units, so either finish Chandler off before this or keep a cleanse to avoid any strong retaliation. In this Phase, you shouldn’t worry about using AOE skills since both minions have an Immortality passive skill.

Continuously attacking Chandler with high-damage skills will do the job.

### Farming strategy

* Blue “The One” Escanor: Attack / Crit Damage (Holy Relic unnecessary, dupes required)
* Red Rudeus: Attack / Crit Damage (Holy Relic and Red Sariel link required)
* Red Kizuna: HP / Defense (Holy Relic required, Red Tarmiel link ideal, but Blue Tarmiel can be used)
* Green Deathpierce (sub): HP / Defense

Using Crit Chance food is helpful to make this less RNG dependent.

Your first turn should focus on moving Escanor skills twice to rush his Ultimate Move and attacking with Rudeus’ AOE skill to clear a bit your hand. Move Escanor’s skills twice again for your second turn and use Supernova to heal him. Save the Flood skill for Phase 2. On your third turn, use Kizuna’s AOE attack, her buff, and then Escanor’s Ultimate, which should kill. Thus, you can move on to Phase 2.

On your first turn in Phase 2, you can go all in with all your Escanor skills (Rudeus should have at least 4 Magic Orbs by now), then use Rudeus’ single target skill. Thanks to the increase he’s receiving from his Unique, Rudeus should be able to one-shot Chandler and finish the run.

### Speedrun strategy

The most optimal team for fast farming is:

* Red Freyja: Attack / Crit Damage (Holy Relic unnecessary)
* Green Festival Gowther: HP / Defense (Holy Relic required)
* Red Skadi: HP / Defense (Holy Relic unnecessary)
* Green Merlin (sub): HP / Defense (Holy Relic required)

Ideally, you should use Ultimate Move Gauge food for rushing your units' Ultimate Moves.

For this strategy, try to get four Ultimate Move Gauge Orbs on Gowther as soon as possible. On your first turn, you should attack once with the skill that reduces Skadi’s max HP and try to get a couple of orbs on Gowther. Once this is done, you should rush Freyja’s Ultimate Move via moving skills or attacking Chandler. Keep in mind that the right-side minion will keep setting Ignites on your units, so Skadi will keep increasing the damage dealt by your units while at the same time reducing the attack and defense from her enemies.

As soon as you have Freyja’s Ultimate Move, on her next turn, you should finish rushing Gowther’s Ultimate Move, which in turn will activate his Holy Relic’s bonus increasing all your allies’ Attack-related stats, then try to attack  Chandler using Freyja (if you have a skill available), and then use her Ultimate Move.

After using Freyja’s Ultimate, Chandler should die and move on to Phase 2. In this Phase, you just have to move skills around or even attack Chandler directly if you want. After his turn starts, the Abyss effect from Freyja’s Ultimate Move will kill him and his minions.

### Collab Speedrun strategy

Another functional team for fast farming is:

* Red Kizuna: HP / Defense (Holy Relic required, Red Tarmiel link ideal but Blue Tarmiel can be used)
* Red Eris: Attack / Crit Damage (Holy Relic required)
* Red Rudeus: Attack / Crit Damage (Red Sariel link and Holy Relic required)
* Green Deathpierce: HP / Defense

Using Crit Chance food in this team is better to guarantee a Critical hit.

For your first turn, you should attack with Kizuna’s AOE skill to increase the Attack-related stats for all your units, then attack with Eris’ single target to charge an orb on Rudeus, and then attack with Rudeus’ single target skill.

If you don’t have two single targets for Rudeus on turn 1, using all your AOE skills on this turn should be better to get a new draw and renew your hand. This shouldn’t be done during Phase 2 since if you use an AOE skill, the left minion will taunt your units.

On your second (or third) turn, you should attack again with at least one Eris single target skill on Chandler, then a Kizuna AOE (or buff on Rudeus), and then use Rudeus’ single target to finish the run.

Overall, Final Boss Chandler is a strong Final Boss with unique mechanics, unlike the previous ones who encouraged players to destroy the minions.
