Sprong will be discovered within the water between the Blades’ Graveyard and the Countless Tower. You may attain this space after Esquie learns his Swim capacity in the beginning of Act II. You may interact this boss everytime you need after you begin Act II, however I counsel returning to this boss combat whenever you defeat The Paintress and get the Painted Energy Pictos. This merchandise will let you exceed the 9,999 injury cap, which suggests you are able to do large injury with a single blow.
Social gathering Prep
Sprong has no resistances or weaknesses, so you’re free to make use of any mixture of celebration members you need with none downsides. Lune will be very helpful together with her capacity to use Sluggish and Burn with elemental assaults corresponding to Immolate and Ice Lance and also can do large injury by build up your Stains and utilizing the Elemental Genesis transfer. That is an 8-hit combo that does large injury. Lune will also be very helpful as a healer, so think about how you’ll get better well being if you happen to determine to exchange her. Monoco will also be helpful if in case you have the best abilities. Hexga Crush (2-hit medium Earth injury, applies Defenseless), Glaise Earthquake (3-hit medium Earth injury, applies Highly effective to self, applies to full celebration if on the Heavy Masks Bestial Wheel), and Dancseuse Waltz (3-hit excessive Hearth injury, injury will increase if goal is Burning, much more injury if the Bestial Wheel is on the Balanced Wheel) can all be helpful since they may apply debuffs and standing results to the boss whereas additionally buffing your celebration.
With all that being mentioned, the celebration I desire is Verso, Maelle, and Sciel. When you’re assured in your capacity to keep away from injury, I counsel getting the Chevalam weapon from the Chromatic Chevaliere within the Crimson Forest. Whilst you received’t have the ability to heal, you’ll begin the combat at S-Rank. Verso also needs to use the Highly effective capacity to provide the celebration the buff of the identical identify and may use abilities like Marking Shot, Defiant Strike, or a Pictos like Marking Photographs to inflict Mark. Making use of Mark will enable the remainder of the crew (particularly Maelle) to do further injury.
For his offensive strikes, Strike Storm is a 5-hit combo and can deal excessive injury primarily based in your weapons’ component. Finish Bringer comprises 6 hits and offers excessive Bodily injury, with much more injury being performed if Sprong is Surprised. Steeled Strike is essentially the most distinctive of Verso’s abilities because it requires 2 turns. Once you begin the transfer, your flip will finish and you’ll need to succeed in Verso’s subsequent flip with out taking any injury. If Verso is hit, he can be knocked out of the transfer, which suggests it will likely be interrupted and the transfer received’t be carried out, although you’ll nonetheless lose your AP. If you may get to your subsequent flip, Verso will let loose a large 13-hit combo that offers excessive Bodily injury with much more injury performed if you happen to’re at S-Rank.
If in case you have loads of AP and are at S-Rank, spend AP on Free Goal till you attain 2 AP after which use Observe-As much as deal large injury. This can be a single hit assault that offers medium Mild injury however will enhance in injury with every Free Goal shot used in the course of the present flip, maxing out at a stack of 10 photographs. If in case you have the best Pictos like Energizing Photographs, you might have the possibility to completely construct your injury stack to the max.
Sciel ought to carry Marking Playing cards since it is vitally helpful for constructing Foretells shortly and it’ll additionally Mark the boss to get large injury potential for observe-up assaults from the remainder of the celebration. I additionally counsel utilizing strikes like Fortune’s Fury and Intervention to get essentially the most out of the crew’s turns earlier than Sprong will get his likelihood to strike again. The previous will double the injury of the chosen character’s subsequent flip and the latter will let you choose one other celebration member to immediately play a flip with an extra 4 AP.
As you construct up Foretells, you’ll want to use abilities which are multi-hits to ensure you money out essentially the most injury doable. Sealed Destiny is a superb selection right here since it’s a 3-hit combo which may exceed the 9,999 injury cap in a single flip but additionally since if you happen to get Essential Hits, the Foretells received’t be eliminated, which means you may observe up subsequent flip to money out much more injury with out having to fret about making use of extra Foretells. This may be helpful if you happen to determine to have interaction the boss earlier than you get the Painted Energy Pictos, however it’s nonetheless very helpful when you may surpass the injury cap, since meaning all 3 hits can transcend 9,999.
Twilight Dance can also be a very good transfer right here. Whereas it does eat all Foretells, it comprises 4 hits and does excessive injury whereas additionally extending Twilight Stance by an additional flip. If in case you have hit the Twilight Foretell cap, you must think about using this transfer if you happen to can. If Lune isn’t in your celebration, additionally think about using Grim Harvest as a therapeutic software since this transfer will heal the celebration, with extra well being being given the extra Foretells are utilized to the boss.
Maelle ought to have at the very least one in every of her Hearth-primarily based assaults, like Spark or Rain of Hearth. Use the Swift Stride assault when the boss is burning to have Maelle enter Virtuose Stance. When you combat this boss in Act III, you should have entry to Burning Canvas and Stendhal assaults. The previous is a 5-hit excessive Void injury which applies Burn on each hit and also will get elevated injury for every Burn utilized to the goal. The latter is a single strike that offers excessive Void injury. Whereas it removes all Shields on Maelle and applies Defenseless to her, this is among the most damaging assaults she will be able to do. I additionally counsel utilizing strikes like Offensive Change or Guard Down to use Defenseless to Sprong, since it would make the assaults over the subsequent few turns do extra injury. With Defenseless and Marked utilized to the boss, these assaults will do large quantities of harm, and with Painted Energy, may simply take out the boss in a couple of strikes.

Sprong Encounter
Sprong assaults in “levels,” the place it would progress by way of its assaults linearly. Whereas every of those assaults will evolve because the battle progresses, the identical normal assault will all the time correspond with the identical stage. Stage 1 sees Sprong strike the Expedition. This can be a single strike the place Sprong swings its arms behind its hack and after a sluggish startup and delay, it would slam each arms down on the celebration. Stage 2 is the Sabotage beam. Sprong will shoot 4 beams at particular person celebration members. Every beam is telegraphed by a cost-up of vitality that occurs across the orb within the heart of Sprong’s head. After the vitality is absorbed by the orb, the beam will shortly be shot. The primary 3 photographs all occur in fast succession, with the fourth and closing shot occurring after a brief delay.
Stage 3 is Sprong’s combo assault. Within the early components of the battle, the combo will include 4 assaults. Sprong will pull again and raise its left arm within the air. After a pause, the boss will slam its arm down earlier than shortly slamming its different hand down after which following up with a swipe. After a short pause and elevating up its arm, Sprong will finish the combo with an overhead slam.
Levels 4 and 5 are tied collectively. Stage 4 sees Sprong cost up its Extermination Growth. When you don’t interrupt this assault by breaking the boss, it would launch its Stage 5 assault, Extermination Growth, on its subsequent flip. This assault sees Sprong soak up vitality earlier than letting off a celebration-vast explosion. There are two of those assaults throughout this combo.
As Sprong loses well being, the early-stage assaults will get an prolonged model of themselves. Ultimately, Sprong “strikes the Expedition twice” and “strikes the Expedition 3 instances.” This simply sees Sprong carry out the Stage 1 overhead assault an extra time or two further instances.
After shedding about half of its well being, Sprong may even get a brand new Sabotage assault. The textual content for the assault would be the identical, however the digicam angle can be barely completely different, with it being extra behind the celebration as an alternative of off to the best aspect, like the primary model of the assault. The assaults begin the identical with the three fast beams, earlier than two extra further beams are launched after a brief delay. After these two beams, the identical delay from the primary model of the assault happens earlier than the sixth and closing beam is shot.
Lastly, the combo assault can change into both a 5-hit combo or a 7-hit combo. The 5-hit combo is the very same because the 4-hit combo with an extra overhead strike that’s similar to the ultimate hit of the shorter combo. The 7-hit combo begins with the identical first 3 assaults as the opposite variations of the assault. As a substitute of main into the overhead assault, the boss repeats the identical 3 hits that it simply carried out earlier than ending with the identical assault that concludes each the 4 and 5-hit combos.
When you stun the boss throughout Stage 4, it received’t have the ability to use its Extermination Growth and as an alternative will use a “defensive maneuver” the place it applies the celebration with Defenseless. Sadly, you may’t dodge this assault.
Now that you would be able to dodge or parry every of Spong’s assaults, you may give attention to attacking the boss. Use Sciel and Verso to use Mark whereas Maelle makes use of Stenhdal when in Virtuose Stance to deal large injury to the boss. Be sure that to use Burn and Defenseless when out of the stance. Have Verso give the remainder of the celebration Highly effective whereas Sciel builds Foretells on the boss. Use the talents talked about earlier within the information and you must have the ability to take Sprong down simply. When the boss is overwhelmed, you’re going to get the Cheater Pictos, which is able to enable celebration members who’ve it outfitted to get a second flip each time they assault.
