Well this battle is basically the first Celsius fight with half of her HP given to the aquadragon. The aquadragon is easily the biggest threat. It just has really large hitboxes on many of its attacks. A normal attack that has really good vertical range; an attack that makes it charge around the battlefield; an attack called Coral Blade where its head & tail swords spin around itself vertically; all can easily hit me if I'm not prepared.

There isn't much I can think of but to cheese the dragon with knockdown; it just has too much priority to do much of anything else. That can be a bit tricky if Celsius is linked and guarding for it(if she's the slave) since she will push it away from me, but Darting Claw usually puts me just close enough to tag it again before it tries to attack. I try to stay above it when I'm in the air as if I'm low attacking, it likes to use Coral Blade as a counter, and a single Swallow Flight, Spiral Strike, or aerial jump is not enough to avoid it.

Fighting the dragon is best when its the master and linked. An unlinked Celsius isn't too much a threat, but her Swallow Dance can tag me in the air, as well as the sliding ice rain attack. If she's linked, and the slave, she's much less likely to do those things unless I land between the dragon and her which is rare.

After it goes down, Celsius is the same as the first time; no noticeable changes to her patterns.
