Battle Strategies

  • Phase 1: hit the singing students with the golden glow to break Rennala's shield
  • After three shield breaks, she falls — rush in and deal as much damage as possible
  • Phase 2 is a proper fight — she summons spirits and casts sorceries
  • Close the distance quickly in Phase 2; her sorceries are dangerous at range
  • Her summons (dragon, wolves, bloodhound knight) are temporary — focus her
  • Physical damage is far more effective than magic against her
