Trails to Azure (Geofront Patch): Secretary Arios Fight Nightmare

Included the cutscene before the battle as well for the context.
Mariabell's stupid cosplay aside, this whole sequence is peak Trails. 5:05 in particular has to be one of the rawest moments in this series. Now for the actual fight.
This one, I find, relies more on luck than Sigmund (burst can mitigate that though). If Arios chooses to Gale your team in the first couple turns, fat chance of moving him away to prevent him from killing your casters. Because of Gale, Arios' attack range is colossal. You have to move him to the almost literal corner of the arena to ensure he stays focused on Lloyd as your evasion tank. And if you lose, well, you can see how long this cutscene is. Even fast forwarding it still takes almost a minute.
Same strategy as Sigmund will win this fight though, it's just more of a crap-shoot to get it set-up. Jupiter Bell+Spark Dyne spam w/Elie, Fortuna spam with Randy, Zero Field+Golden Halo with Tio (lowers DEF+ADF and does good damage), and Raging Spin+Evade tank with Lloyd. Burst helps a lot in ensuring you can move him to the corner before he wipes your party and to get the strategy going.
I have three more boss videos planned and I'll also post the bonding events like I did with Zero.

Such an insignificant difference between winning and losing. Yeah I couldn't be bothered to keep retrying this

[@steinsschrodinger8688]

Lloyd with evasion tank is a must for this fight 😁

Cool fight it doesn't help that cutscene is long and I have skip them every time I lose.

I know that feel mate, took me 3 or 4 recordings to get this take because Arios' Gale is insane.

[@JohnRambo1947-July-6th]

​@@21stCenturyBoy-Indeed it is. I found this fight harder than Arianrhod.

My lloyd isnt fast enough (1st playthrough hard didnt farm two evergreens). Arios eventually does his multislash into my backline :(
