Prepare a party for the next boss

Quick answer

Start with the characters and skills available in your save. Give the party a recovery plan, a reliable attack and a fallback when an action is unavailable; then check gear and supplies before the encounter.

Know the named party pool

The official character index identifies the principal party as Estelle, Joshua, Scherazard, Olivier, Kloe, Agate, Tita and Zin, and also lists Anelace and Julia among the supporting cast. This is an identity and role index, not a promise that every character is available in every chapter or on every platform build.

CharacterPlanning question
EstelleWhat does her current flexible kit need from the rest of the party?
JoshuaCan you reserve his current speed or area options for the encounter’s turn order?
ScherazardDo you need her physical reach, Arts or support options?
OlivierWould range and Arts coverage solve the problem more cleanly?
KloeDoes the current encounter reward a defensive or recovery role?
AgateCan a physical-damage plan survive the enemy’s next turn?
TitaIs a ranged or item-focused setup safer than close contact?
ZinWould durability and control give the party time to recover?
Anelace / JuliaWhat do their current displayed skills contribute in this save?

Diagnose the failed attempt

  1. Write down what ended the attempt: no recovery, an unavailable skill, poor reach or exhausted resources.
  2. Inspect the affected character’s equipment, Quartz and current Arts or Crafts.
  3. Change one part of the setup and preserve a save before retrying.
  4. Keep a recovery option available instead of assuming damage will finish the encounter before the enemy acts.

What this preparation page does not establish

No fixed level target, boss HP, weakness chart, guaranteed rotation or complete recruitment schedule is verified here. The official character profiles describe identities and general strengths, not a universal tier list.

For a missing S-Craft after Kurt on Steam, apply the published demo fix before treating the problem as a build mistake.
