How to Defeat Grus Cantus Alpha

Grus Cantus Alpha fights pretty much like the regular Grus Cantus, only that the optional boss is considerably more powerful. As such, you will want to bring some Light affinity Pins with the HP Vampire skill to restore your health while dealing damage to the boss. For this purpose, Heartthrob Launcher is the perfect Pin to bring. Additionally, Grus Cantus Alpha is weak against Stone, so make sure to bring Stone affinity Pins as well to make the fight shorter.

Like in the first fight against Grus Cantus, it’s very important to focus on destroying the orbs if any party member is captured. You can also keep your Groove until this happens to unleash a Mashup attack or a Killer Remix to destroy an orb as soon as a character is trapped. Focus on dodging the lasers when it gets dark, attack Grus Cantus Alpha when the boss can be targeted and you should have no troubles taking it out at any difficulty level.
