Damage Walls, Gravity Barriers The main gimmicks are DWs, and GBs. The GBs are only present on the Lotuses, but it's difficult to deal damage to them if your monster only has ADW. The ideal team will have ADW + AGB HP Linked Lotuses The Lotuses are HP Linked to whatever boss is on that floor. They are also pierce obstructors. All your monsters should be bounce. Transparency In most boss stages, the boss will become transparent, like in Hourai. The only way to deal damage to them in this stage is via the Lotus weakpoints.
