How do you tackle super bosses in JRPGs?
What are the steps you take to develop a strategy for a superboss? Do you read online about the hidden mechanics and gimmicks? Do you search for posts about what skills do more damage or interesting ideas you might've not considered?
I am asking this question because I am really bad at super bosses. There are a lot of ideas that I just ignore or I don't think are possible.
So I always end up relying on the wiki of the game to read the hidden mechanics or interactions that are not obvious to the eye, here are some examples.
Galdera OT2: The first phase souls are not inmune to insta kill attacks, I was only able to beat it because I read about that online and used Ochette.
Four Superbosses Atelier Ayesha: I always have problem with Atelier games endgame because I don't know how to read, I always prioritize stats or numerical traits, but the best traits always end up being the ones that are not obvious, like Trait Bonus being much better than Godlike destruction.
Primevil EO1: I started fighting Primevil without information, I was doing the simples thing, buff, debuff, and getting obliterated with the random elemental instakill, I don't think knowing you could only have six buffs at once was an idea that would come naturally.
Then the pattern of the elemental attacks was insane, using multiples, idk.
There is also the fact that Primevil requires inmunize and the translation of inmunize is not that great.
Abyssal God EO3: The first phase was okay, really Primevil-like.
The second phase? Too much rng and hidden things like counting to six actions for form change, or that it can change forms at will once under 75%.
I don't know what to do, I am open to advice and thank you.
