 Here are some tips:
-* '''I-frame the claps!''' - The boss does a "clap" every 15 seconds, and if you use a skill at that moment, you and your entire team will be protected from damage for 1 second. This is called "invincibility framing", or "iframing".
+* '''Iframe the claps!''' - The boss does a "clap" every 15 seconds, and if you use a skill at that moment, you and your entire team will be protected from damage for 1 second. This is called "invincibility framing", or "iframing".
 ** You can also use helper skills to iframe. These recharge about every 13 seconds after use, so the timing works out well. Bringing a buffer helper such as {{Icon|Adventurer|Elisanne|size=32px|text=1}} is highly recommended.
-** Dodge rolls '''do not work''' in Mercurial Gauntlet, as they don't grant AI adventurers iframes!
+** Dodge rolls and the transformation animation from shapeshifting or dragondrive activation '''do not work''' in Mercurial Gauntlet, as they don't grant AI adventurers iframes!
-* '''No healers needed! (below level 50)''' - Don't bring a healer; you don't actually need one for the first 50 levels of each element's Mercurial Gauntlet! With proper iframing, you will never take any damage. This opens up their slot for another DPS, which will be much more helpful in progressing through this mode.
+* '''No healers needed! (below level 50)''' - Don't bring a healer; you don't actually ever need one for the first 50 levels of each element's Mercurial Gauntlet! With proper iframing, you will never take any damage. This opens up their slot for another DPS, which will be much more helpful in progressing through this mode.
 * '''Bog on break!''' - If you have {{Icon|Dragon|High Mercury|size=32px|text=1}}, {{Icon|Dragon|Peng Lai|size=32px|text=1}}, or {{Icon|Dragon|Leviathan|size=32px|text=1}}, transform into that dragon when the boss breaks so you can inflict {{Icon|Affliction|Bog|size=24px|text=1}}. Bog increases damage dealt by 50%, and bogging Fafnir Roy III on break lets you get in a lot more damage.
 * '''Off-element is viable!''' - Don't be afraid to use off-element characters! {{Icon|Adventurer|Elisanne|size=32px|text=1}} for instance can improve your DPS a lot with her buffs, even if your team isn't Water.
 ** You can even give her the aforementioned water dragons with Bog, if you don't want to put them on non-water adventurers
-* '''Use affliction punishers!''' - If you deal a status such as {{Icon|Affliction|Burn|size=24px|text=1}} or {{Icon|Affliction|Poison|size=24px|text=1}} into a boss, and you have punisher effects on your skills, adventurer abilities, or wyrmprints, you can get in a lot more damage. For example, the free adventurer you get from Chapter 8 of the Main Campaign can deal poison, and if you gear your team with the wyrmprint {{Icon|Wyrmprint|The Plaguebringer|size=32px|text=1}}, then everyone's DPS will benefit from it.
+** Similarly, off-element adventurers which can inflict {{Icon|Affliction|Burn|size=24px|text=1}} or {{Icon|Affliction|Poison|size=24px|text=1}} should also be considered due to the following point.
 ** Make sure to reapply the affliction as soon as overdrive starts, as overdrive will remove all existing afflictions.
 * '''Use the boss's thickness against him!''' - The free adventurer you get from Chapter 14 of the Main Campaign absolutely demolishes this mode. Their second skill makes a ring of bullets that deals tons of damage to large-bodied targets - which ends up working quite well against the rather-thick boss.

 * You should keep multiple {{4*}} dragons with the strength ability, as those are fairly easy to max unbind (MUB), and will serve as filler as you collect and upgrade {{5*}} dragons as you progress through the game and perform summons.
 ** These strength dragons are: {{Icon|Dragon|Ifrit|size=32px|text=1}}, {{Icon|Dragon|Vodyanoy|size=32px|text=1}}, {{Icon|Dragon|Roc|size=32px|text=1}}, {{Icon|Dragon|Lindworm|size=32px|text=1}}, and {{Icon|Dragon|Juggernaut|size=32px|text=1}}.

 * The game gives you an option to use dragons as EXP fodder for other dragons. However, please '''DO NOT''' do this, as the exchange rate is terrible - a single dragon only gives you about as much exp as a single dragonfruit. And you can get 20-ish dragonfruits from just a single run of Avenue to Power.
 * If you're running out of dragon space, you can sell any that you don't want. To do that, go to "Teams" -> "Collection" -> "Dragons" -> "Part Ways". Here you can exhange dragons for {{Eldwater-}}. It is recommended that you keep at least 1 of every dragon species for building bonds in the [[Dragon's Roost]] - maxing a species' bond at lv30 gives you a {{Sunlight Ore-}}, and 10 of these make a {{Sunlight Stone-}}, a precious resource.

 * Some of the adventurers you got through the story can access the Mana Spiral: {{Icon|Adventurer|The Prince|size=32px|text=1}}, {{Icon|Adventurer|Ranzal|size=32px|text=1}}, and {{Icon|Adventurer|Cleo|size=32px|text=1}}.
 ** For utility purposes, even if you don't actually play {{Icon|Adventurer|Ranzal|size=32px|text=1}} it's recommended to get him up to 56 mana nodes. This upgrades his {{SkillTooltip|Tornado Bash}} shared skill to deal more damage and gain the useful {{Icon|Affliction|Poison|size=24px|text=1}} and {{Icon|Condition|Dispel|size=24px|text=1}} properties.
 * Some of your tutorial {{3*}} adventurers are eligible for the Mana Spiral too, though their quality can vary, and it's possible that you've pulled better adventurers to invest by this point. Ultimately, the decision is up to you.
