Line 1:
Gear requirements vary from class and player skill. One of the first clears on Global Ship 1 involved a Waker still using Octo Armors, a Hunter with no Exdis, an Abandac Braver playing on console, and a Ranger using LC Augments on a Fatale 1 Reyaar.
= Before you begin =
If your party has a Ranger, all other players should consider subclass Ranger to take the Blight Rounds Self Benefit skill.▼
'''Consider using 8 meat, 1 vegetable, and 1 seafood instead of 10 meat.''' This boss deals a lot of damage, and even with maxed out armors, some classes will be outright OHKOed without the extra bulk gained from seafood and vegetable stats.
Make sure to take all buffs from Alliance Mag as well, as you can choose more than one buff at a time.

Line 13 ⟶ 18:
While battling the summons, keep an eye out for cubes and lasers fired by Dalion itself. Cubes are forecasted through circles on the ground and strike a consistent time after appearing, while lasers are linear area markers that strike once when the line traveling down the box reaches the ground.
While the summoned puppets can be stunned via both Physical and Elemental Downs, these do not count as real down states. This means class skills such as Technique Domination do not work on them, and Tech Arts Customization effects that grant additional damage to downed enemies do not
The first summon set will only consist of a Fire and Ice puppet. Defeating both of them will trigger two large area attacks covering the arena., followed by a third attack aimed at each corner. These attacks can be sidestepped and parried by watching Dalion's hands as it detonates the area markers.
The second summon set will
This phase also introduces new attacks that cannot be sidestepped or guarded. These attacks will have orange area markers, and you must begin moving as soon as the markers appear to safely avoid them.
While one of these attacks are being prepared, you cannot deal damage to the puppet performing it. However, if you exit the area in time and have access to ranged attacks, you can attack another player's summon until yours can be targeted.
Line 23 ⟶ 30:
A single summoned puppet will float away from the arena before performing an orange corner burst, while all puppets float away before Dalion deals two orange slashes.
After an orange attack finishes, '''return to your summon immediately or else it will begin firing high power projectiles
As summons are defeated, players can meet up with others to help clear their puppets faster. After all summons are defeated, Cannon phase begins.
Line 30 ⟶ 37:
Players are equipped with a special Mobile Cannon for this phase. While your gear's Potency Up will not matter, things like Potency Floor will, so having a [[Xover]] series weapon with Potency Floor Augments on it is a valuable asset to deal more damage in this phase.
'''
'''A weapon used for this purpose does not need to have its Potential Ability unlocked, nor does it need to have a Preset. You simply need to enhance it to +80 and add abilities such as {{Augs|Dolz Soul III}}.'''
This Mobile Cannon also grants an additional +30% Potency Floor, so it requires less investment to reach 90% or even 100%.
Line 41 ⟶ 50:
Summoned puppets will have crystals as shields, and one summon will have a weak point hidden behind its shield. Dealing enough damage to a shield will break it, and dealing enough damage to the shield protecting the weak point will cause it to glow. Upon discovery, all attacks should go towards the weak point.
A summon will periodically appear on the field, and must be attacked as soon as possible. If left alone for too long, it will detonate dealing massive damage to all players. However, destroying it grants a charge of the

In general, try to stay in the back part of the arena to have the most time to react to moves. Move forward during certain attacks, such as the triple shockwave, and weave between them before moving back. During puppet dashes, you can sidestep through them to use the melee attack and deal high burst damage.
After dealing enough damage, Dalion will be stunned. Close the gap and begin using the Cannon's melee attack on it until it gets back up, and repeat this process through the BREAK phase, up until the End phase begins.
If you are far out of position, you can usually dash twice, jump twice, and start slashing - while the first slash will whiff, it will be a faster variant and close the gap while preparing the stronger second slash.
