Pentaxius

Hello, I came up with a fail proof strategy that deals with the Adra dragon (on Hard difficulty) in a minute or two, too fast for the AoE breath and unstable aggro to be much of an issue. If you want to find your own way to beat him read no further! First, I realized that my usual party wasn't suitable for the challenge (after about 10 tries) - Thus, I reshaped my party and used the following set up and he went down one the first try very fast. You barely need any positioning either, just make sure the tank is making the dragon face in the opposite direction of the damage dealing team. 1. High deflection tank with second breath, 130+ deflection, high prone resist and large endurance potions. 2. 4 Ciphers (3+main character) 3. 1 Chanter (with Range weapon reload chant) The 3 ciphers Aumora were built the following way : 21 might, 18 dex, 18 int, the rest in con Beast slayer (applies to the adra dragon) Gunner Weapon focus Soldier Penetrating shot Biting whip All equipped with high quality Arquebus with +25% freeze damage and Beast bane. Cipher power : All had Tactical meld (for +20 accuracy). The total accuracy of these auxiliary cipher companions against Beast was approx 80-85, easily enough to score consistent 30-60+ damage hits against the dragon. It isn't even necessary to use the spell Disintegrate with this setup, the range damage is so high. To be quite honest this setup is simply overkill and trivializes the most challenging encounter in the game. Good luck, it should be easy now.
