The best strategy for beating Trove Imitecs is to bring Archetypes with Light skills, though youwon’t want to bring any from the Healer Lineage due to their weakness to Strike attacks. Your best bet is to level up a Healer Archetype and use Skill Inheritance to move a light skill over to another Archetype. Sleepy Air can also lead to major issues if most if not all of your party is put to sleep, sobringing Ren Patraone an Archetype is helpful, which is learned from the Cleric.
Archetypes from theBrawler Lineage are resistant to Strike damage, which will help greatly negate any damage done by the Trove Imitec. This lineage also learns attacks that are able to lower the enemy’s defense when hit, helping to deal with the high health of the enemy. There are also many accessories in the game that can prevent sleep, which will also make this fight much easier. Bringinga General Archetypethat knows Shelter Formation can also boost the party’s defense by two ranks, helping further negate the constant physical damage this enemy deals.
