Below we have detailed how to defeat the Umbral Beast in Fire Emblem: Cindered Shadows
How to Defeat Umbral Beast
The Umbral Beast will begin the battle by attacking any one of your characters for its first turn. After that, it will always follow with a ranged attack that has an area of effect damage. This is why you have to be patient and be as far away from the beast as possible. Otherwise, any weak allies can receive significant damage.
Another trick that the beast has is that it can summon three illusions of Aelfric. These illusions heal the Umbral Beast for 20 hp after each end of your turn and also deal damage to you with their own attacks. Your first target should be to take out all the illusions before you can focus on the beast itself.
To take out the illusions, your best bet is to deal melee damage to them. Choose characters that are good with melee damage and can take them out as quickly as they can. Otherwise, the illusions will keep healing the beast and you will be back to square one. The beast can summon the Aelfric again but this time you will have to worry about two illusions instead of three.
When you focus your fight on the Umbral Beast, it is best to have a character that has a lot of health and can take a few hits from the Umbral beast. This is because you need to use a gambit right in front of the Umbral Beast. This will make the beast vulnerable to damage and you can start with your own onslaught. Using the gambit will also ensure that the Beast is focused on one character, allowing your characters to easily attack the beast.
The more yellow tiles you break by using the gambit, the more vulnerable the beast is. Once the turn ends, the beast will attack with its Umbral Surge, which cannot be avoided and deals damage to every player. This is where you need to make sure that your characters are in check with their health, and have one or two healing items with them.
Defeating the Umbra Beast is always about using the gambit to break the yellow tiles, and keeping your characters alive and with enough health to get through each turn and hit from the beast. Eventually, you will deal enough damage to the beast and it will be defeated.
