Red Boy Battle Strategy
To defeat Red Boy, players must balance offensive spells with agile movements. Here are the best strategies:
Recommended Skills
Equip powerful spells like Pluck of Many and Weaver’s Needle for high burst damage. Use Immobilize to temporarily stop his movement, and follow up with Wandering Wight spirit attacks for sustained damage.
Recommended Equipment
Use the Fireproof Mantle to mitigate fire damage. Equip armor that balances defense and mobility, such as the Celestial Ribbon, to withstand his onslaught while maintaining agility.
Tactics
Phase 1
Unleash spells at the start of the fight to lower his health quickly. Keep dodging his fireball attacks and use quick attacks between his moves. Avoid staying in one place for too long, as his ground attacks can cause significant damage.
Phase 2
When he reaches half health, prepare for his clone assault. Keep dodging until all clones are gone, then quickly capitalize on his recovery. Continue to use spells and light attacks to chip away at his health.
