Weaknesses come straight from the game data (they match the in-game board preview). The star ratings the preview shows for Strength / Intelligence / resistances aren't decoded yet, and attack patterns beyond the signature action aren't in the data at all — that's what the write-up below is for.

Strategy

draft · Icy Veins (summarised) · updated 2026-09-18

Mechanics

Cactuar Pieces — possible triple-card fight.

Suggested trio: Behemoth, Buffalo, Adamantoise — AoE, tankiness, damage.

Abilities

  • Emergency Order — the boss jumps away and starts spawning waves
  • Healing Water — Flowertenders AoE-heal the Sabotenders
  • ??? Needles — numbered circles that go off in order
  • Cover — Guardia takes all damage for the Campeador
  • Seedling Needles — raidwide when grounded, donut when airborne
  • Needle Gnarl — circle

Waves

  • Wave 1 — two Flowertenders + Sabotenders
  • Wave 2 — four Soldado + Sabotenders
  • Wave 3 — Guardia, Campeador + Sabotenders

How to handle it

Meteor the first wave. War Cry the second once they’re grouped, then Shield Charge to finish. Adamantoise tanks and brings Lightning for the third wave — Shield Charge the small ones, then kill Guardia before Campeador.
