How to Beat Faleris & Marcus

Faleris attacks primarily with fire, and these will do a lot of damage since they share the same type as the Pal using them. However, while it may seem like water is the way to go here, that may be a mistake if you aren't careful. Faleris uses some very, very strong electric type attacks to counter his weaknesses.

Fire Shot: Faleris will very quickly fire a ranged projectile that has a small amount of homing. This is easy enough to dodge if you see it coming, but it comes out fast, so it can take you by surprise. It's important to always be mobile and ready to dodge.

Scatter Shot: Another fast attack, Faleris will fire a clump of rapidly-moving projectiles that will each deal a moderate amount of damage. They are close together, kind of like a shotgun blast, and will deal high damage if many of these projectiles connect with the target.

Flame Tornado: This is Faleris' unique attack. Faleris will summon two flaming tornadoes, similar to ones you have seen before, but will also follow up with a devastating swooping attack. If you avoid the tornadoes, it doesn't necessarily mean you are clear of the swoop, since he will retarget for that secondary attack, so be careful and stay mobile. You can dodge it at the last moment, or use a pillar for cover.

Fire Breath: This is another one that you will have seen plenty in the past. It is easy enough to avoid by simply walking out of range or quickly strafing sideways for its duration. Once you are safely out of range, you can use your own attacks while Faleris finishes the fire breath animation.

Fire Ball: This is a particularly hard hitting attack that is similar to the water version that Lyleen used. For a couple of seconds, Faleris will charge up a giant fireball which will then be hurls at the target for very high damage. The ball has a little bit of tracking to it, and if it connects, will create a brief, high damage over time effect as well.

Eruption: If you get a small circle appear under your feet, dodge out of it quickly. The ground in that circle is about to erupt with a devastating attack that will also stun you briefly. If you are staying mobile and moving around a lot, it's likely that this attack will miss you anyway.

Ignis Rage: Many magma pools will appear on the floor in a wide area. After a hefty wind-up, all of these will explode for massive damage, even moreso to any large Pals who may be hit by multiple of these. For this, it is recommended to get well out of the blast radius and pull back your Pal until the coast is clear.

Tri-Lightning: You have seen all of Faleris' electric attacks before with Orserk. This one will cause three lightning strikes at your location, which are easily avoided by simply staying mobile and moving out of the area. You can see it coming when you get a glow below your feet, but you should be staying mobile anyway, so this will probably miss.

Lightning Strike: This one can be difficult to avoid if you don't react fast enough. A very large area will start to glow red, showing that, soon, a massive lightning strike will blast the entire area. This takes up most of the arena, and it is very important to get to the edges out of the red circle as fast as possible, and to withdraw your Pals so they don't take a devastating hit.

Lightning Barrage: One of Faleris' most devastating attacks, the Lightning Barrage will absolutely destroy your shield and health if you take the full brunt of its damage, and your Pals will definitely suffer a massive hit from this. Faleris will get a glow beneath him for a significant amount of time while he charges this attack, and then release a lightning barrage that locks on quite strongly and pierces through pillars. The only way to avoid this is to start dodging sideways as soon as the attack fires, and not stop until he stops the attack.
