Tips and Strategy
This boss does not have a core; always look for Effective Range for your DPS!
The fight features terrain/environment that can be destroyed for extra burst gen; shoot at them with your Rocket Launchers (RL)!
Remember the full-screen QTE patterns to destroy them faster:
Rocket Launchers (RL) can shoot rockets at the middle circle of the full-screen QTE to break all circles instantly.
Altruia unleashes 2 different attacks with the same start, with 2 Almighty Shields. Everything but the second one is Holy Breath, whereas the second one is Penance, which makes Altruia nullify incoming damage by 60% until the Shields are broken.
Avoid aligning your strong attacks with Penance by stalling or switching rotation orders.
The only attack that has an indicator is Golden Crux, a crux-shaped light that attacks the highest ATK Nikke. Other lasers have no indicator, but they still aim at the highest ATK.
The target of Hallowed Trails is random and has no indicator. It is recommended to destroy them, especially with Explosives and AoE attacks.
Strongest Shield on the Surface spawns Saintess’s Halos in the same order always across different runs, but the order is different for the first one compared to the second and third.
The First
The Second/The Third
The splash from Explosives and Rocket Launchers can hit Saintess’s Halos.
Be prepared for the inevitable AoE attack, Prayer, which happens at the last minute. Make sure you have enough HP and cover.
Effective Range
Sniper Rifles (SR) and Shotguns (SG) do not enjoy Effective Range at all on Altruia. Sub-Machine Guns (SMG) enjoy Effective Range on Altruia’s shield and main body. Machine Guns (MG) enjoy Effective Range on Altruia’s Halos and banners on her back. Assault Rifles (AR) always enjoy Effective Range.
