* Banesword will use **Nadirian Magnetism** every 6 turns after turn 6 (6,12,18,24,etc)

**Strategy**

* For party formations that use 2 paladins for BB cover, make sure the paladins bring Acceleratle drinks to use on themselves to gain CT asap for Battle Buddy at the start, until Battle Buddy is up, the other two will need to use Defend asap to survive long enough
* Be aware of what turn Banesword is on and what he'll do, Turn 3 (and every 6 turns after): **Nadirian Barrier**, Turn 6 (and every 6 turns after): **Nadirian Magnetism**, turn 14: **Normal Attack** increased to 7x hits
* Try to defeat Psaro Banesword before turn 14, otherwise he will roughly do 1400 DMG, so you need to pray that you can successfully dodge enough to survive each turn
* It is imperative that you have some way to help heal, especially if you are using the 2x paladin method, Psaro Banesword will deal alot of DMG each turn unless you get very lucky with evasion procs, if you are using Sages, its a good idea to focus only on healing the Paladin next to you (you can heal the other, just be careful of overhealing and not having enough for your PLD)
* It is not recommended to use buffs to try to mitigate his DMG, he will use **Frigid Wave** after almost every **Normal Attack**, so try to find other ways to mitigate DMG (like evasion gear), if you decide to use buffs, make sure to use them after he has done a **Normal Attack**
* **Highly recommended to use Evasive Attire Top and either Liquid Metal Slime Robe Bottom or Red Bunny Suit Bottom**
* **Evasive Attire Top can be farmed from Chapter 4, Courage Eldertree, L3**
* Try to reach Red Health Bar by the start of turn 11, when you get hit by the final Bar Break, you can just use a Yggdrasil Dew to heal the DMG
* While its a low chance to proc, Psaro Banesword is able to be inflicted with Attack, Defence, Agility Down
* Make sure to Defend against his Bar Breaks (or that Battle Buddy is up) and if you are too low on health or afraid you might die, you can use a Dodgy Elixir right before his Bar Break to help try to avoid the DMG
* If you decide to bring Physical Damage Dealers, you will need to bring some way to cure Blind, such as Whirlwind Whisperer
* Bring Accelerate or some form of it to counter his Agility Down if it lands
* Make sure to have your Revivify Stone last until the final bar if possible, that way when DMG gets overwhelming, you can burst DMG him with a Revivify Stone proc
