Strategy

Equipment

Having a high amount of Water, Ice and Earth resistance will make the fight quite a bit easier, as this will make you immune to most attacks from Poseidon. It's recommended to equip Ice weapons as they give you Ice/Water resistance and boost the damage of Ice spells, which is one of his weaknesses.

Battle

During the battle Poseidon constantly summons Ores (which gradually gain extra levels as the boss loses health), specifically Peridot, Quartz, Sapphire and Zircon ones. They are relatively weak and won't deal too much damage, but Quartz Ore can heal and Zircon Ore can buff Magic Defence, so they should be killed as fast as possible. Lance is quite effective here because of his Bomb spells, which is the weakness of every ore and Poseidon.

As usual, keep your Defence and Magic Defence buffs up to decrease damage from what you're not immune to. He'll always have the ability to exploit players' resistances, choosing between Water, Ice, Earth and Bio skills, but most of the time he'll use something else.

On Hard and Epic difficulties, he'll use the Tsunami Limit Break once when at <39% HP, which deals a high amount of Water damage to the whole team and has a chance to kill instantly. At <19% HP, he'll start buffing his Defence and Magic Defence if they're low, and on higher difficulties this won't consume his turn. Try to either invert his buffs (with Red/Yellow Flybot summons) or Dispel them, and deal damage in the same turn.

Summon

The foe can be captured to be used as a summon. It casts a powered up version of Matt's Torrent on every foe.
