• He is immune to Debuff
• He has Infect Skills which restrict Recovery-related stats.

Strategy:

• Use the same strategy as mentioned above in the phase [Proud Holy Knight].

• You don’t have to use Elizabeth in the first 3 slots so it’s easier to build up team here.

In case you don’t have any of the recommended Heroes in this guide, it’s recommended to hire ones from your Friends (Mercenaries).
