Fight summary

The final story Tower Boss. Shadowbeak is a Dark-type flier with homing projectile volleys and a hard-hitting melee slam. Expect a hard 10 minutes timer, so damage output matters as much as survival.

Core strategy

Dragon damage is mandatory — Jetragon or a Legendary Rocket Launcher shortens the fight dramatically. Keep three Mega Shield rolls in reserve for the volley phase and heal only while Shadowbeak is airborne.

Element plan

Attack with Dragon damage for the 1.5× multiplier and avoid Dark, Neutral moves entirely — they land at reduced damage and waste the timer. Check /elements for the full matchup chart before you queue up.

Recommended party

Bring Jetragon, Jormuntide Ignis, Paladius. Condense each of them to at least 3 stars at the Pal Essence Condenser and equip Grade-3 or better armour; under-levelled Pals die inside the first minute of this fight.

Level and gear floor

Attempt this fight at player level 57 or higher with the best weapon tier available at that point. Pack 10+ Mega Health Potions and, for the Tower fights, cold or heat resistance matching PAL Genetic Research Unit Tower.
