What if I made Anise feel even worse to play in neutral? I decided to try playing Anise with no Aerial Jump, Dash, or Quick Turn so that most of my conventional movement options are pretty worthless. This meant that I had to rely mostly on Cyclone Shot and my backstep (backstep is very op here). Cyclone Shot is good because it can actually stagger Largo on its own and lets me get past him, but it's countered by certain artes like Beast, Blazing Talon, or Dragon Shot so using it can be a gamble. If you want an idea of how bad Anise's base jump is, I was getting anti-aired by Sync's Reaper's Toll.

This boss is really just a knowledge check. The Nameless Anomaly is insanely dangerous if you let it do whatever it wants since it has very annoying attacks including a wind attack that has an instant start-up. However, if you know to guard manipulate it, you can make it do Absorption when it has the opportunity to attack. This makes its dangerous attacks pretty much irrelevant so all I really have to do is learn how to deal with Absorption and its spin counter lol. Millas backstep kinda sucks, so backstepping Absorption was a slight pain but its pretty easy to dodge. For the spin counter, I found that the easiest way to dodge it was with an aerial backdash since it covers a lot more distance than her backstep. If Im really close, then Ill do a backstep into an aerial backdash to dodge it. I can also ascend to a point above the spins hitbox if I do Shimmer Spin enough times.
In terms of offense, its generally best to dodge Absorption and then break iron stance with aerial Grave before doing anything. Its worth noting that if you proc too many counters in a row, the Nameless Anomaly has the ability to start countering rapidly (after one or two hits). If this starts happening its generally best to back up, guard manip, dodge Absorption, and then start attacking again.

Decided to combine these two monster bosses into one video since I decided to make em fairly quick. Theyre not too much different from other monsters... I just wanted to get to the humanoids faster lol.

Strategy:
To speed up the fights for these two, I equipped the Barbatos Ring which massively increases my attack stat.
Gusios:
Hes fairly similar to how he was as Dreaded Giant, just without the cutscenes now. The big differences are that he now has access to doing insta-cast Tidal Wave and Ground Dasher (quotes because its still telegraphed) and he now has random tech-outs. In any case, if I stay in the air or hit him with attacks that hit while hes knocked down, Im going to be able to stay pretty safe.
Khroma Dragon:
Actually pretty threatening for a monster. She apparently learned Void Attack from Alexei and the decision to give Void Attack to a monster is truly unfortunate since Judith cant do much to combo these monsters in the first place. Khroma Dragon tends to use her flip instead of a knockdown tech-out so its generally pretty free to knock her down without having to worry too much. There are only three attacks to look out for: the homing fireball attack, the rock fall attack, and her ridiculously fast normal attack. The homing fireball attack is a barrage of yellow projectiles that have very strong homing. Best way to dodge this is to simply get over Khroma Dragon. The rock fall attack makes a bunch of rocks fall from the ceiling. Not sure how to survive this attack consistently tbh. I just kinda run around and pray if it happens lol. Her normal attack is a threat if she uses it as a random tech-out since it comes out insanely quickly... its not hard to bait in neutral though. Khroma Dragon is easily the toughest monster boss in the main story and its not really in a fun or engaging way... kinda glad I used Barbatos Ring here lol. Despite her tools, Khroma Dragon can be fought like pretty much any other monster boss. I just need to be very wary of Void Attack procs and the three aforementioned attacks. I should almost always try to hit it from behind since the turn around duration will give me time to react to the random tech-out normal or Void Attack if they occur.
