Tikilen Guide pt.2: Fight Mechanics [Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent] 

Thanks for this guide, Shizukatz. Thanks to knowing about exploiting "Add 2" with shield points, I was able to beat Tikilen on my 3rd try. Granted I spent this whole past month building up my team, but once I got the rhythm it was surprisingly easy. Couldn't have asked for a more clear guide to make this as painless as possible.

Awesome guide, how ominous about future tourneys!

Man am I juiced for this fight. I feel like I am prepped as I can be. My Ashlan needs a bit of levelling, but I have some Nuts saved up for either him or H'aanit tomorrow, and the rest of the team is ready to go, thanks to you.

I love your vids! They’re so informative, interesting, and well put together. Sometimes I even rewatch them, have them playing in the background so I can soak up more knowledge I might’ve missed the first time thru lol. Seriously man, top tier vids! You’ve made this already great game even more fun to play! Thank you so much!

Great content as always!

The way Shizu always delivers every time

just hit lvl 60 on my main team. glad i watched these vids. made a 2nd party for tikilen so that I can lvl/gear those ppl on the side.

Great guide, as expected! I'm still thinking if I should pull from the Step Up banner, because I really need Theo to comfortably deal with Tikilen. I will use my A3 Gilderoy as my tank, and while I know that he can sponge anything Tikilen can put out with the right amount of debuff and buffs, I don't think my 4.5 and 4 stars will, and I will need Theo to be there to always provide the Regen and Wind Res Up, but I dunno if he can do it at Lv. 65/65 at 4.5 stars. I guess I can only find out once she's up.

Thank you!

Amazing guide as always man. One thing that you didn't mention is the preferred level the units should be. I an guessing around 70-75ish?

First of all, thanks for the guide. Second of all, during my run I got scammed with Counter Stance of top Add. I see Lynette and Scarecrow going before both Adds so I think I'm fine, lets attack with Gilderoy and Ashlan to take some of that shield down. Before his action, Add pulls out the counter and Ash dies while Gilderoy gets down to low. I have no idea how it happened and I immediately went back to watch the video. I am confused now. After that I decided to do that fight later once I gear and level up more.

Still looks tough, but this is great!

Finally beat her on my own what a fricking fight took over an hour. My team was Gilderoy/Lynette, Theo/Ashlan, Scarecrow/Millard, Tressa/Lucetta. Gilderoy for tanking, Lynette for buffs and debuffs(and shield breaking Tikilen with her 3-hit fan), Millard for emergency heals/counter heals when Tikilen 70+ the front row with her two AOEs, Hunters for damage and shield breaking obviously, and Tressa for those annoying pokes with her speed boosted 3-hit polearm. I pulled Tressa randomly after the Wednesday update, and didn't expect much from for her concerning Tikilen at first but she won me over with her 3 hit-polearm skill against Tikilen's minion then she's completely stole the show seemingly out of nowhere with her BP donation skill at the very last phase(I didn't really practice with that skill at until that final phase). The two out of the three last Step Up Banners I didn't pull who I wanted but in the end, got exactly who I needed later on. Haha I love this game. Man I'm tired too, today the battle was won!!👑

Hey @ShizukatzCotC ! I've recently found your channel and I love your info vids! They are great! good job! I recently rolled Hannit :D but I'm kinda low level yet (60) and I'm doing the Master of all last chapter questline. I'm having some problems with phase 2 of last boss, when hp drops under 50% and boss can do several attacks per turn (plus all the crap gimmicks with countes, sp drain, dread.. etc) I'm trying to get more levels but don't have enough nuts, hunt quest to level up more :C any advice? thank you in advance!

Thanks for the guide. Would be useful if you included the base speeds of Tikilen and the adds for turn order planning.

Appreciate you bruh. If I do manage to complete it right away (probably not lol) it will be because of you. Would you say my 4 stars (Ashland and camilla) at level 70 and awakening 3 is high enough for them?

Gahhhh leeee my luck is off the chartsss, I just did 30 rolls for H'aanit and i got 2 dupe Gilderoy's, 1 Dupe Lynette, a 4* Millard, and 5* H'aanit. While this makes me exited for now it also strikes fear that when Cyrus rolls around I will have used up all of my luck right now. As always amazing vid, by far the most informative and useful COTC content out here. And yes, this is day 34 of playing COTC without Cyrus...

Thanks for the video! Pretty sure I'll get wiped to hell lol but seriously thanks for putting serious effort into these videos they really help!

Gotta wait till I can pull Theo seems

Don't think you gotta drop money and stuff just to clear this ASAP, take your time and wait for better units if you must.

Got a full team of 5✴️s (Sofia 4a, Fiora 4a, Lynette 4a, Theo 3a, Odette 2a, Scarecrow 2a, Millard 2a, Adella 1a) at level 90+ and they're getting wrecked... 😖 Will need to level up Gilroy 2a to tank with Provoke, and have Millard cast Flamebringer's Favor on him.

What do I need for the fight before Tikilen? cant beat that guy. Im not trying to beat Tikilen yet because she is so strong for this point in the game if you are saving for Cyrus like I do but I was hopping to beat the previous fights lol

hey shizu I love your stuff, keep it up! Questions for my tikilen team, I tried sticking as close to your sample team as I could. I have 5* viola awake II lvl 73/88, 5* theo awake IV lvl 74/88, 4* Laura awake III lvl 69/69 (i have mabel but she is *3 and I'm too lazy to class her up unless I have to), 5* lynette awake I lvl 65/85, 4* meena awake I lvl 66/66, 4* camilla awake II lvl 64/65, 4* lucetta awake III lvl 66/66, 4* Ashlan awake I lvl 66/66. I'm still working towards getting the rest of my *4 stars to awakening III for that additional HP. But other than that, do you think I have a good chance? Are there any other things I need to do besides increasing lvl cap? Let me know if I should be using another character. Additional info, I also have... *5 fiore and sophia, *4 kurtz, millard, gilderoy, menno, heathcote, devin, pia I'm sorry this is so long but one more question. I have characters like lucetta with lvl 66/66. When I take her to hunts or daily caits, does she still receive exp once I limit break her again? or is that exp lost forever? Thank you so much!

Hi i’m a big fan just a question what level is recommended to fight her ? If we have hannit what combinaison you recommend me ? For the armors I don’t understand robe or armors or vests ?

Thank you so much for this! Do you think it's possible to beat Tikilen at level 60-80? Or do I need level 90+ characters?

I finally beat this fight last night with a very messy clear. My units were way stronger than they needed to be, but i’m just happy she’s done. Finished Glossom too

Thanks shizukats!! will leave it for now as still just making it through BT fights intact and still relying on allies...Ps what's the deal with the muttering codger in flamesgrace? Recruitable with a 999 non-elem aoe??

Hey guys! I'm having trouble fighting delvecchio. he always summons new guards. any strat or help?

I easily swept to the tournament until this guy before Tikilen arrives. He killed me like 7 times until I Had beaten him. (Around LV. 70 Team) Now I'm Up against her and the hell... Thanks to your Guide I at least believe that she is possible to kill, but at what Level? I nearly have all the best equipment in Game and regardless of the Party I feel like I really shoundn't take her down before Lv. 80. Or I should awaken more of the 4 Star units...

Hi, someone can tell me how can we get awakening stone for tikilen? if they come in another patch how many token they will cost? thanks for the answer et thanks for your good job shizukatz !

Excited here. I really think we global are being spoiled with lots of this info from JP player. something that make me sad is that most of GL player will still whine that the content is too hard, unplayable even with lots of info like this.

None of my characters has crit to get past tikkilens shield consistently. Wtf?

How high should my charakters be leveled for this fight?

I realize after my gilderoy get as* kicked with multiple skill from tikilen lol , this is not easy as i think.

I have every 5 star except Theo 😩 any other regen caster?

Duuuuuuude i just made my best try yet (but i lost) 104 turns and 2 hours, the two mercenarys dead and tikilen with 40 porcent hp using a level 60-70 team i'm proud but also sad

I’m bummed that you have to do this fight 13 times in order to get her accessory, and 83 additional times for the 2000 gold guidestones. Sheesh, it’s a long, slow process!

Sooooo when exactly is this released?

That fight was hard, I barely beat her.

I appreciate the guide! I got super close on my second try, but I got punished for not preparing for that crit phase... lol. I was hoping to just deal enough damage that it wouldn't be a big deal since I don't have Scarecrow, but I underestimated her HP. Looks like I better build up Ashlan, haha.

I wonder what is the recommended level? 70 +?

can you paralize them to make them lose turns or they are inmune to it?

Basically fight for whales gg and its not even out for 2 month.
