* Skip this one. No place as a prerequisite skill either. It basically sacrifices your active Elemental and High Elemental Spirit to apply defensive skills to you and your party. Could be a last resort skill if your party is about to get wiped out by Max Pain I suppose.

Upon reaching 100% Dragon resistance, most of Betelgeuse's attacks and skills will only deal "1" damage or will be registered as "1-1-1-1" damage to your EM Tank, and increasing your defensive values further in RES, MRes, DEF, and MDef won't make a difference anymore. On another note, Betelgeuse inflicts a "'''fixed amount of physical damage'''" unto you with a value of '''10''','''000''' that is only reducible by '''{{#skill:404}}'''. It comes in '''two''' ('''2''') '''forms''': '''1st one''' is a series of attacks wherein <u>only the first and initial hit</u> would inflict that 10k to you; '''2nd one''' is a DoT attack that reduces your HP by 10k on certain intervals. General physical defensive stats like RES and DEF can't reduce these values and not even your own '''{{#skill:157}}''' decreases it. However, building more HP values (eg. MaxHP or MaxHP%) would indirectly decrease the value of that 10k and placing Wall of Fogs underneath you would further cut down its value by only inflicting 75% of that 10k and thus it will only deal 7,500 damage to you; plus an added 75% chance for those hits and Betelgeuse's '''{{#skill:2217}}''' to miss.

Now, you may cast '''{{#skill:288}}''' underneath your party to cancel Betelgeuse's '''{{#skill:2213}}''' and '''{{#skill:83}}s''', but if you have  a magical DPS such as EM and AM that have ground AoE skills in your party you might want to readjust the size of your LP and its positioning so that they could also hit Betelgeuse. It's also possible to use lower levels of LP (7x7 or 9x9), but this will require coordination and communication with your team. You may cast or spam '''{{#skill:289}}''' on Betelgeuse to cancel his Max Pain, but be careful as this would lose your aggro on Betelgeuse and would also cancel your team's debuff skills such as your Cardinal's '''{{#skill:78}}''', your Arch Mage's '''{{#skill:2213}}''''s Magic Intoxication, your Abyss Chaser's  '''{{#skill:214}}''' or your Shadow Cross' '''{{#skill:5001}}''' skill, so it's best to communicate and coordinate with them first before attempting to do so.  When Betel is chanting two of his long-casting magical skills like '''{{#skill:2213}}''' and '''{{#skill:2217}}''', you may use your Sage skills '''{{#skill:277}}''' and '''{{#skill:276}}''' to disrupt and absorb those two skills, respectively. Keep spamming Spell Breaker until you cancel his Comet skill with a 10% chance to be successful. Additionally, you will need to time Magic Rod perfectly and use it just as when he's about to finish casting Tetra Vortex or have enough ACD and ASPD for spamming if you can't estimate its timing. During the 2nd Phase, there will be Dead Souls roaming around the map and they increase Betel's Defense if left untouched. These Dead Souls are plant protocol and they only have a MaxHP of "10"; you can help your team kill the souls in the middle near you by using your '''Lvl. 10''' '''{{#skill:14}}''' to speed up your instance farm, especially if you're doing it in duo.
