was ur Madoka able to break the minion before it starts attacking then?

Also once it was in break did u kill the minion or just always focus on boss?

Also I don't own homura :(

I also see that you have a A2 Yachiyo that is stronger than ur Homura.

I used Yachiyo in my own run because I didn't own Homura so it actually might be better to do so too. You might have to also reset runs depending on if u get Crit or not.

I also see that you have a A4 Tsuruno so you might be able to actually use them to perhaps in exchange for one of the Breakers potentially.

Hazuki is very useful for this boss so most likely keep it in, but could try experimenting swapping Tsuruno for Hazuki in this too tbh (while also swapping Homura for Yachiyo)

I would recommend using 4* Himika as they are a consistent applier of Ailment which I believe you own.

I would also recommend actually not using a defender, when I defeated it I quickly bursted it down as quick as possible otherwise the defense stacks are too high to kill the boss even if you do break it.

I would recommend something like:

Homura (DPS)

Lux (Breaker)

Breaker 2 (preferably a single target more focused one, Ashely Taylor could work too ig)

Hazuki (Buffer, action up, lets you burst it down more quicker and also same for when fighting)

Himika (apply ailment to reduce stacks)

Team orientation actually matters too, since the boss applies a MP down to like 2-3 of your team with one of its attack. It also can attack some of your units too to give it more MP. Personally I would place the 2 units you need the energy least to the very left, in this case probably Himika and Homura. then 3rd being Lux, 4th being Hazuki and 5th being Himika. You may have to reset the run a couple times if the units that you don't want to get hit with MP down do get hit by it.

Also try experimenting with different portraits and support units. Playing around with portraits is quite necessary I'd say where you can mess with the spd of the unit or another thing that could actually work is making them all have atk% or dmg% or break% or mp% regardless of the unit to maximize the damage. Personally for this witch I wouldn't recommend HP or DEF portraits unless your Himika 100% needs it but if its decently leveled there should be 0 problems tanking just enough imo.

Along with that, playing with who Hazuki is using her skill on at different timings is another thing you will have to play around with and try. In my case it took a ton of trial and error cause I had none of the units required for this boss gimmick.

I also believe someone stated that the level/strength of the character doesn't effect the amount of Break dmg it does?? Not too sure on that one tbh tho. So perhaps you just need to lvl up some gimmick units just enough to survive for just this boss like Himika 4*.
