How to beat boss servants
Medea should generally be killed second-last (after depleting Nero’s Guts, but before killing her for good); if Medea is killed too early, her 50% defense up will be a severe hindrance.
Debuff removals are recommended to take care of Jack’s debuff, although Servants with multiple buffing skills such as Waver work as well.
When bringing along a Guts-reliant Servant (i.e. Cu Chulainn (Alter)), Ozymandias should be killed as late as possible.
Servants with Taunt are recommended for the stage, as the damage dealer would most likely be a Berserker.
Alternatively, with LB event CE and the help of Command Seals, it is possible to have an AoE NP Berserker (Lancelot / Minamoto no Yorimitsu) wipe the enemies with two consecutive Noble Phantasms. Sherlock Holmes is also recommended for this strategy.
