Defeating Chromatic Abbest won't be a walk in the park. The fight isn’t recommended if you are fairly low level. Each hit from the boss can deal over 1500 damage, making it challenging to survive a single turn.

That said, defeating this boss depends on your ability to perform dodges or parries. Once you master this skill, you can slowly chip away at its health bar even with low damage.
