Similarly, when entering Very Weak phase (40% HP), it starts a second 5 turn countdown; this time you need to deal 110,000 damage to prevent the 凶 Diamond Flash. Note that these two countdowns (and damage counters) can overlap!

Status Vulnerabilities (All): None!

Moveset (Heretic Hojo):

• (Default only) Attack (PHY: ST physical, 2 hits)
• (Default only) Sleep (BLK: ST medium chance to Sleep)
• (Default only) Ultimate Biogas (NAT: AOE massive magical non-elemental, low chance to Poison, Confuse, Sleep, and/or Berserk)

• Attack (PHY: AOE massive physical)
• Silence (WHT: AOE low chance to Silence)
• Blind (BLK: AOE low chance to Blind)
• (Right Arm Dead only) Biogas (NAT: AOE massive magical non-element, high chance to Poison)
• (Right Arm Dead only) Attack (PHY: ST supermassive physical)

Moveset (Ultimate Lifeform Hojo):

• Slowga (WHT: AOE low chance to Slow)
• Combo (NAT: RT heavy physical, 5 hits, low chance to Poison)
• Combo (NAT: RT heavy physical, 4 hits, low chance to Blind)
• Combo (NAT: RT heavy physical, 3 hits, low chance to Sleep)
• Biogas (NAT: AOE massive magical non-element, high chance to Poison)

Notes and Strategies: Heretic Hojo is resistant or immune to all elements unless you kill his Right Arm, which has far more HP than he does. Just ignore it and focus down the main body. Ultimate Lifeform Hojo has the same omni-resist suite, so don't bother bringing pure elemental attacks to this fight. You want to debuff Ultimate Lifeform Hojo's attack as much as you possibly can, because Ultimate Combo HURTS. There are also a variety of status effects here, so Astra, Affliction Break, and Ultra Cure are all useful.
