Tales of Arise: How To Defeat Lord Volran

Stories of Arise has some absolutely exciting boss fights, but the perhaps the most theatrical and hardest of all is the fight against Lord Volran. He is an absolute threat in combat and although he seems to be relatively easy at home, he quickly becomes one of the toughest enemies they will encounter as his multi-phase struggle requires a lot of planning, resource management and timing to emerge victorious. How to defeat Lord Volran in Tales of Arise.

Preparation

The name of the game in this fight is resource management and to do this, you must first acquire some resources. Fortunately, there are tons of mighty enemies in the area and they all drop tons of valuables that lead to a ton of Gald when selling. If you have collected enough forest, it s time for some upgrades.

First load Life Bottles, Lemon Gels and Orange Gels. This will cost a lot, so you should be ready to grind a little before you can fully load. Once you have the articles, you need some accessories.

The key to fight against Lord Volran is dodging and at this point in the game you should be pretty good in it, so the physical defense should not be a big focus here. Focus on the accessories that offers elementary defense, as Lord Volran has a variety of elemental attacks that you can absolutely destroy in a short time. In addition to your accessories, make sure that you have the best available weapons, as we want to cause as much harm as possible in a short time.

Phase 1

Do you like multi-phase boss fights? Well, I then have a fight for you. Attend you will find that this fight is not so hard. Lord Vholran comes with a few different physical attacks on you, but they are all completely telegraphed and very easy to dodge. What makes this even easier is that it focuses on a character after the other so that you can heal or revive as needed as they can always run away from action.

Apart from the physical and species attacks, Lord Vholran also has a Mystic Arte in stock, which he can fire several times. This makes huge water fountains out of the ground around the battlefield. Go to your strategy menu at this point and create one that only prompts your team to run away and do nothing. This should guide you to attack and you can switch immediately to your normal strategy.

Hold here to the plan and turn out the physical attacks when you come, and you should not only come out of this fight, but also very little resources consume, as Lord Vholran s first phase is a shockingly easy walk in the park. Sprinkle artes into the fire, if you can, and whine with boost attacks on him, and you will constantly bring him out of balance and open a lot of space for attacks with great damage.

Phase 2

They had their fun with phase 1 and I hope they have worked well carefully and preserved their objects, because Phase 2 is a completely different ball game. After Lord Vholran is completely turned through and blasted his half castle into the air, it is time to fight him in his sovereign state. So Bandai Namco says Ha Gotcha! Because this fight becomes really hard.

I really hope you have a few CP left or have a few orange gels at hand, because Lord Vholrans attacks are violent in Phase 2. Here your elemental defense comes into play. If you have not followed the above Council, you will be started by the intentional losing this fight from the character menu and you can make the accessory change there and return directly to Phase 1.

Lord Vholran will attack here with ice and lightning attacks, and the most dangerous of them is Finis Aerernam, who acts for him as another mystical species. A gigantic ice cream sword is summoned and crash into the ground and when that happens, ice splinters start to shoot out of the ground. Due in this case constantly and you can avoid pretty much the entire damage.

There are several elemental attacks that are shot on them at this time, and to negate the inevitable damage you cause, let Rinwell sharpness on all work. Yes, this will escape your CP, but it s worth it and if you have enough orange gel, it will be fine. You can also work a barrier if you want, though the sharpness is much more effective here.

As soon as they are all ready to resist the rush, unleash so many firearms as they have. You can change every character so that he only uses fire artes if they want, and this will cause characters like shionne constantly unleash fire species that should cause tons of damage.

At a certain point in the fight, Lord Vholran Ice Meteor will work. This channels its inner Sephiroth here in more than a way and conjures a huge meteor that beats on the floor. Fortunately, you can see on the ground on the basis of a marker where it will land so that you either go out of your way or try to dodge perfectly if you are brave.

In relation to whom you should play like here, it is a question of preference. I have chosen a combination of Alphen and Dohalim as they are my top damage dealer. If you go to Alphen, use as many of your flaming edge attacks as possible. However, be careful as they consume their health when using them. Dohalim is a beast in this fight as he can cure, revive and destroy Lord Vholran s agility with his boost attack. If you want to use it, hold back and fire your best arts. The chances are good that he is too busy to attack your other group members to pay attention to you at all, and it will be easier to finish healing magic.

This fight is a marathon. So if you use too many doctors at the beginning of Phase 1, it is not the worst idea of ​​simply refurbishing it and try again. The key is to survive phase one without them so that they are fully equipped for the true fight in Phase 2.
