Boss Guide: Gracos V

Gracos V is the kind of fight that feels “simple” until you realize it punishes one mistake harder than any gimmick boss. His signature is consistent pressure that makes your party’s average durability the real resource. Most wipes happen after a spike when players try to steal an extra attack instead of restoring the party to a safe floor. The clearest danger signal is when your healer spends consecutive turns patching single targets; once that happens, tempo is gone and collapse is close. Two common death chains: (1) spike → low HP carryover → next hit finishes two, and (2) someone drops → revive without stabilization → second drop → spiral. Misconception to fix: this isn’t a DPS race; it’s a survivability gate—if you stabilize reliably, the kill is inevitable.
