Demon King Dragonia

So you’ve just completed the reconstruction of Colony 6 and given a home to 150 Homs, Entia, and Nopons. Pat yourself on the back if you haven’t already passed out from exhaustion! Unfortunately, the Colony cannot reach 100% completion until you finish defending the Ether Planters from monster attacks, and if you’ve been following the guide up to this point, this bad lad should be waiting for you at Hope Farm:

Above: Well, shit

Yep, that’s a lv99 Demon King Dragonia. After your many hours of collecting, fighting, and recruiting, you’ll still need to take down this ridiculous monster in order to get the achievement for boosting Colony 6 up to 100%.

How to easily defeat the Demon King Dragonia

But there is hope! Even if you are not of a high enough level to fight this dragon legitimately, you can use Melia’s reflect skill. Even though we were only in the high 70s, we waited for the dragon to target Melia with its “Fatal Crush” move, then activated reflection. If you time this properly, the dragon’s skill will bounce off of Melia and end the battle instantly.

A more detailed strategy: Keep Reyn out and anyone else who likes to draw aggro out of your party. Begin the battle by summoning aqua twice for precautionary health regen (use summon copy) then summon and use bolt as quickly as possible. This will draw the attention of the dragon. Maintain your distance to avoid his normal attacks, and soon enough Shulk will have a vision of one of the Dragon’s specials. If the special is not fatal crunch, use Melia’s hypnotize to put the dragon to sleep. When it awakes, it will use a different skill - hopefully Fatal Crunch. Wait until the last remaining second of the vision bar to drain, then activate reflection. Done and dusted.
