Phase 1

This phase has a hidden core on Kraken (pierce units can still hit it) plus tentacles at the back and front that will deal heavy damage if not destroyed.

Leg and Focus Laser

Leaving these up will cause a barrage of laser attacks periodically that targets a single NIKKE.

They can technically be ignored at higher invesment, but be careful to not die to the projectiles.

WHAT TO DO IFRAME THE PROJECTILES
0

Big Leg Smash

High durability tentacles that after a certain amount of time, the boss will swing and deal team wide damage (this attack pierces cover!).

These tentacles also have exposed cores, so make sure you aim to break them with units like Scarlet: Black Shadow Scarlet: Black Shadow Scarlet: Black Shadow or Liberalio Liberalio Liberalio to avoid taking heavy damage.

WHAT TO DO BREAK THE TENTACLES
1

Vertical Screw

This is not really difficult to deal with, you MUST however bring a unit with elemental advantage to break the interruption circles.

Not being able to doing this will cause a team wipe attack unless you have really high investment on your units.

WHAT TO DO COMPLETE THE QTE
2

Hydro Cannon

After you break both front tentacles, Kraken will inhale water and shoots it at your units.

You can (and should) cover this damage unless you have a healer in your team like Nayuta Nayuta Nayuta or Helm (Treasure) Helm (Treasure) Helm (Treasure) to recover afterwards.

WHAT TO DO COVER TO AVOID DAMAGE
3

Squid Missile

Fires a lot of projectiles to a single unit. Kraken will do this twice with a second difference between attacks.

Individually they don't deal much damage, but if a unit gets hit by most of those projectiles, they will most likely die.

WHAT TO DO DESTROY THE PROJECTILES
4

Tidal Wave

This attack will signal the transition to Phase 2 of the boss, where you have to complete a sequence of interruption of red circles while avoiding the white ones.

Breaking a White circle will cause a team wide attack and wipe.

WHAT TO DO COMPLETE THE QTE
5

Phase 2

After you complete the Tidal Wave, Kraken will switch to Phase 2, exposing its core and spawning tentacles way more often.

Rinse and Repeat

Mostly same mechanics as Phase 1, but with an exposed core now.

Front tentacles will become a lot easier to destroy and deal heavy damage to the boss.
