How to Defeat Phoenix Cantus

Phoenix Cantus is a difficult boss to take down, and the battle will be long and grueling. As such, we suggest you bring at least one Pin that is capable of healing the party. Getting the Groove gauge high enough to unleash a Killer Remix can be a little difficult, with everything that goes on on-screen, so having a quick and reliable way to heal is extremely important.

To damage Phoenix Cantus, you will have to focus on destroying its tails, which can all unleash different attacks. As some of the attacks can hit your characters both at short and long-range, it’s better to fight from a distance with long-range Pins. This will also allow you to build the Groove gauge with Beatdown combos to unleash the already mentioned Killer Remix attack or Mashups.

Once it has been damaged enough, Phoenix Cantus will revive itself, so be ready for a very long fight. Avoid ranged attacks, get away from the electric discharge, use Sound Surf to build Groove while the boss uses the Rainbow Bow Barrage attack, and you will eventually defeat Phoenix Cantus and save Shibuya for good. Hopefully!
