Overview
Strategy
The players have 1 of 2 possible strategies to bring down Star Devourer. The first is to play normally. Characters with high HP are a good choice to counter Star Devourer's extra battle damage and as a result, Avenger is an effective role due to the HP boost. While Star Devourer does have high HP, its defensive capabilities are relatively weak, giving high ATK characters and Attacker role characters the opportunity to deal great damage. is a notably good choice against Star Devourer given that her Hyper deals massive damage and drains the players' stars to prevent them from being stolen. The players will simply need to beat Star Devourer before it reaches 1000 stars, which should be doable as long as the players feed a continuous supply of damage against the boss.
A second, and more common strategy is to try and drain Star Devourer's star supply to 0. This can be done by focusing on defeating Big Poppo instead of Star Devourer, as Big Poppo rewards a high amount of stars from the star pool upon its defeat. Although it cannot be defeated too often due to its high REC, with enough luck and strategy the players can defeat it often enough to counteract Star Devourer's star gain. Alternately, players can try to use characters with star-stealing Hypers such as or to steal stars from the Boss directly.
Notes
As it has come up multiple times by the community, it should be noted that 's Hyper will NOT decrease Star Devourer's star supply by half, as the player only gets half if the opponent is KO'd. Given that the damage dealt by the Hyper will certainly not KO Star Devourer, the Hyper will have no effect on its stars.
Summary
- At the start of the game, it will summon a Big Poppo which will not deal damage but steal stars.
- Star-based boss, so players not only have to survive, but prevent the boss from reaching 1000 stars.
- Home panels disappear on Chapter 40
- All panels except Warp and Warp Move will become Boss panels by Chapter 40
- More Boss panels every 2 chapters
