Beating (Muddy Murder) Flan Prince
During the entire encounter, Flan Prince will cast its various elemental spells.
Firaga - easy to dodge, but don’t get hit - it’s powerful. Slow cast, slow projectile. Punish him for thisone.
Blizzaga - A large frontal ground AoE. Don’t get fancy with this one, dodge pre-emptively and smack him from behind.
Stonega - Leaves two delayed explosions under you, easy enough to avoid.
Tornado - Spawns delayed tornados around. As usual, don’t get caught in any one of these or its gonna be trouble.
His various basic slime attacks are a little difficult to time, as well as his jump. These attacks are more threatening than the spells IMO, and are more likely to damage you.
At 50% or lower, he starts Dualcast. Which combines any two of his elemental spells in quick succession.
Hands Down: a 2 part attack that starts with a multi hit combo, then retargets for a final heavy hit. Easy to dodge the second part, punish him then.
