Stage 10-7 marks the final challenge of the main story, and Crom Cruach is a fittingly powerful boss. With new mechanics and a two-wave battle, this fight demands solid strategy and careful team setup. Here’s how to beat him.
🐉 Crom Cruach Overview
Crom Cruach is unlike any boss you’ve faced before. He introduces new battle mechanics like:
- Swallowing your heroes (removing them temporarily from the battle)
- Powerful charge attacks
⚔️ Wave 1 Strategy
At the start of Wave 1:
- Crom swallows 3 of your heroes, leaving only 1 on the field.
- You must deal heavy damage with your remaining hero to force Crom to spit them back out.
Key Mechanics:
- HP Phases: Crom returns swallowed heroes at certain HP thresholds.
- Indigestion Skill: Triggers a “Return to Battle” effect on one hero.
- Worm Larva: Crom summons larva to assist him. If you have high attack power, it’s faster to ignore them and go straight for Crom.
- Charge Attack: Crom charges for 2 turns before a big attack. Use this time to deal massive damage.
🧟♂️ Wave 2 Strategy
This wave gets more complex:
- Crom’s body parts become separate enemies.
- You can either:
- Focus on destroying body parts first for safety, or
- Target Crom directly to finish the fight faster.
During the final phase:
- Crom becomes vulnerable before unleashing a massive attack.
- If you don’t stop him or finish the battle in time, no hero will survive the hit.
🛡️ Recommended Teams
Here i will mention few teams that works great against him.
🔰 Affordable Team (for most players)
- Arthur – damage dealer
- Ardoin (great single-target damage & healing based on attack)
- Tristan – Damage Dealer/ Reduce attack speed
- Kay – Damager Dealer
Ardoin is a hidden MVP here – even if others are swallowed, his healing and damage keep you in the fight.
Note- if this team is not surviving due to low level gear. you can replace any weak damage dealer with a healer like Isolde & Sarah.
🧙♀️ Advanced Team (for experienced players)
- Gawain
- Guinevere (prevents status effects)
- Bedivere
- Gillien
Guinevere’s immunity and Gawain’s blessings ensure at least 3 heroes stay in battle early on. Gillien helps control enemy attack timing.
🧙♀️ Balanced Team
- KAY – Damage Dealer
- MORGAN – Reduce Turn Meter
- TRISTAN – Reduce Attack Speed
- ISOLDE – Healer
Kay is the main damage dealer, if equipped with a Drain Set, it can heal through attacks and stay alive longer. Morgan helps control the fight by pushing back the boss’s turn meter and increasing the damage he takes. Tristan reduces Crom’s attack speed, giving your team more time to act. Isolde handles healing, keeping the team alive through both intense waves of the battle.
