How to Beat Celestial Sword (Cave of the Wind)

Boss Strategy


Go All Out on Your First Turn

Unleash your strongest attacks at the start of the battle to deal heavy damage to the Celestial Sword. Use Nanami's Family Attack and have Kahn use his Resurrection Rune to weaken the boss significantly in a single turn.

Use Great Blessing to Heal Everyone

The boss can attack twice in a single turn and a single attack can deal decent party-wide damage. It's recommended to use Great Blessing from the Hero's Bright Shield Rune to heal everyone.

With the Hero's above-average SPD stat and the amount that the spell heals, it should be good enough to cover most, if not, all damage done by the boss.

Put Tanky Characters in the Center

The Celestial Sword has an attack that hits the middle column of your party. We recommend that you place characters with high HP and DEF like Viktor and Kahn since they can tank more hits than most characters.

Focus on Healing in the Second Turn

After giving your all in the first turn, shift to healing your allies. Use Medicine or cast Great Blessing to restore your party’s HP while maintaining a steady offense. By this point, the Celestial Sword should have lower HP, so you can attack however you want while recovering from its attacks.
