Yuito’s Allies and their Powers
During this fight, Yuito will have two OSF members on his team: Gemma, who he had worked with earlier on inScarlet Nexusduring Phase 1, and Tsumugi, who Yuito more recently teamed up with. While Gemma’s sclerokinesis abilities are useful for creating a shield, effectively blocking a heavy amount of damage Yuito can take, understanding Tsumugi’s abilities are instrumental to defeating Naomi Randall’s Other.
Tsumugi’s poweris known as clairvoyance. Avid gamers would know that this ability generally allows for some form of second sight or lighting a path to the goal. For Tsumugi, it allows Yuito to see invisible enemies or enemies hidden by cover such as fog. But Tsumugi’s power also enhances the perfect dodge ability, another key to beating Naomi Randall.
Naomi Randall Phase 2 Tips
Naomi Randall’s first enemy phase is deceptively easy. She won’t attack much but instead will flail on the ground, allowing Yuito and his party to take some whacks at her weak spot, the bed of flowers. She’ll do this until about half of her health has depleted. Then, she’ll turn over, and the real fight will begin.
Throughout the fight, skirt Naomi’s attacks using the dodge move and keep at a distance. Occasionally, she’ll kick up some dirt, covering the playing field with dust. Use Tsumugi’s clairvoyance to find Naomi, but this will also make landing perfect dodges much easier. Landing perfect dodges also allows Yuito to deal exponentially more damage to enemies. Using clairvoyance, continuously perform perfect dodges and attack Naomi’s weak spot. Use Gemma’s sclerokinesis to block damage while clairvoyance recharges. Repeat these actions until Naomi Randall is defeated.Yuito’s psychokinesiswon’t be used much throughout the fight.
Additionally, Yuito will likely need to heal several times while taking on Naomi, so ensure he and his allies are stocked up with plenty of jelly before going in.
