Strategy Guide
The bandits are back, now with more power!
This battle is much like the first time you encountered Saber; however, he and his gang have gotten much stronger. His dodge rate is extreme at the massive 850, and that makes him pretty much immune to abilities with average hit rate. His ability to poison and act 4 times during combat doesn't help much, either.
Death, again, is your absolute key to victory. On your second turn, have Death attack Saber with Iron Maiden, then have Nera use Soul Ritual on him as soon as possible before he tears though your ranks. After you have paralyzed him, focus your fire on his lackeys and try to eliminate them before Saber can act again.
Protect Sisily and the Magician, since they are your main source of energy. Without energy, the battle is lost.
Nera's Crystal Ballad can deal a lot of damage to Saber. If you have a decent amount of Magic attribute on Nera, use Moon Waltz first in the beginning of the duel to improve your damage. Saber can only use his poison ability when he is attacking, so rest assured. You can conjure the High Priestess after Death has been Soulbursted, but it is optional.
Tips for this battle:
Use Death's Soul Ritual. It is extremely useful in boss battles, especially if the boss is a melee-type unit.
Use field abilities if you want to make sure your attack will connect. Field abilities never miss.
