  • Change the target to its head and focus on attacking the head using VA.
  • Once the Vatting gauge is full, use it while aiming at the head to break it.
  • Remember that filling the Vatting gauge will be difficult, as Sampati uses strong AoE attacks, and its physical attacks deal a lot of damage.
  • Keep Nina alive, and use items when needed. Vatting will deal a massive chunk of damage, then finish it with patient peppering to defeat it.
  • Be mindful of AoE moves that stay on the field for a while. It's easy to charge into them using VA.

It will take some time to defeat the Sampati, the Holy Bird in Star Ocean Divine Force, but if you use Vatting smartly and use the right tactic in battle, you'll beat this boss. Remember to be patient and wait for the best moment to strike while keeping others alive, especially Nina, as she's the healer.
