ok how the fuck do i beat the winter mage and winter warrior for dlc 3
Spoiler they're harder than most of DLC bosses which is BS.
Warrior deal % 50 your max HP into dmg , unavoidable , pierce defense dmg so you can't guard, 2 hits from his 2 actions means you're dead .
No dodge, immune to crit , susceptible to fragile, poison, bleed, laceration, Vulnerable and STUN.
So you need at least 20k stat( recommended because RNG dmg) put the Difficulty to 0 ( save urself the headache) at least 2-3 ring of Black Rabbit( boss is in north of the Spore Village when 0 Sen or grind in Chao Dungeon),Bumble Bee Ring ,( dodge at the start of the battle buy from the Crow with Candy) Mosquito Ring, Andor Sword + 5, Pledge preferably Kuti( 50% bonus turn) or Lorina ( resist Fire ICE, Lighting, Dark 50%)
Get the following weapon, Black Blade( found in Infinite Food in Duchess Mansion, Flying Dragon Sword+5 , Ragnarok ( upgrade from Claymore in the Lava Waterfall same area to the left,near Jean of Arc Book.), Great Thief Dagger,Deep Sea Knight Anchor+5
You want to start the battle using Andor Sword so 4 actions with 2 Black Rabbit Ring,buff your Att,Def, ect with item ( no cost turn)use Indignation (Deep sea anchor), Phalax, Pommel ( Stun the opponent from Ragnarok) aim at the Winter Knight, Switch into Andor Sword and Use Providence ( Nullify Crit Attacks from the Winter Witch) Or Knight King Sword ( Knight Pride) to reduce the unavoidable dmg from the Witch. At this point, if your luck is high, you should avoid all the attacks except the Ice dmg x4 unavoidable but with 20k stats you should be fine) and The Knight is stunned with Bleed, Poison.
Next turn You should have 5 actions per turn and you should choose to kill the Winter Witch first since she takes crit dmg, low hp, low dodge( use Absolute Precision to 100% hit) and susceptible to Reflect Magic ( equip the Mirror Shield). Immune to status effect though. They're both afraid of Fire, so make use of Oil Urn( double fire dmg), Fire Spell and HellFire Breath to deal great dmg and Shockwave + Pommel Ragnarok to STUN and control the Knight( you don't want to focus the Knights first because he tanky, take no crit dmg, and at 50% HP will use skill to Regen, heal 40% hp back, with a buff reduce 50% dmg that need Dispel, and a Charge Attack that requires Break)
The Witch will use mostly Ice Attack ( so Lorina Covenant helps a lot ) and Dispel with passive 25% reflect rate so you should be careful of magic attack ( can't reflect unavoidable attacks btw) and deal high dmg so keep dodge + buff on you and focus dmg fast on her.
Additionally you can spam Requiem ( can't be killed when below 1 HP) to power through but watch out for the Witch Dispel.
Or just use Hidden Pepper and avoid them until when you get better skill and a summon, makes life easier.
