The Titan in Chapter 4 is a relentless opponent—its durability isn’t just about raw power but hinges on its TP mechanics. Attempting brute-force strategies or over-relying on defense will lead to failure every time.

Mastering its shield-breaking system and attack tempo transforms this fight from overwhelming to manageable (almost fair, if you’re feeling generous). Below are key strategies for success.

Essential Brighten Tactics

• Prioritize Kris’s Brighten ACT: Immediately use Kris’s 4% TP ability at the start. This enhances TP gains from bullet grazes and slightly slows enemy patterns.
• Farm TP First: Avoid aggressive early attacks. Focus on building TP reserves before dealing damage.

The 80% TP Threshold

• Once TP reaches 80%, activate the shield-break action—Kris must be alive, but other party members can focus on healing or defending.
• After breaking the shield, switch to offensive actions or top up health for the next phase.

Rhythm-Based Combat Strategy

• Start Defensively: Begin by guarding with your entire team. This helps acclimate to attack patterns and builds initial TP.
• Stick to the Cycle: Brighten → survive → reach 80% TP → shatter shield → attack → repeat.

Positioning and Defense Tips

• Avoid over-blocking: Excessive guarding stalls TP gains, which are critical for shield-breaking progress.
• Center Positioning: When attacks sweep from the edges, position the SOUL near the screen’s middle for optimal dodging space.
