Siegfried is a fight in which delays are important. It’s full diamond special Qual Faenge deals a ton of damage as well as extending skill cooldowns and cutting buff durations of anyone damaged by this. It will be triggered at 75% and 25% HP. It is very important to prevent taking damage from this by saving full cuts and damage mitigation skills for this or using a sub character that will likely die on getting hit. With enough delays, it is likely you won’t trigger this outside of the guarenteed casts. However, Siegfried does get an additional diamond each turn when an ally doesn’t attack so try to not guard your whole team at once.

Qual Faenge also occurs two other times. On joining the fight and at 50%, it occurs after casting Delirium which prevents Sieg from being debuffed that turn, resets summon cooldowns, knocks out all non Wind allies, and fills his charge diamonds to max causing him to use Qual Faenge after. For joining, the easiest option is to use an on element character with a sub like Rosetta (Grand) to deal with it or a character with 100% hostility like Andira as Qual Faenge is multi hit. For 50%, you should make whatever summon call you can like a carbuncle before taking Delirium.

Turn 2 and every 4 turns after casts. Manigance which gives Sieg attack up, boosted TA, and echoes. This special requires 3 healing skills to cancel. Generally people will ignore this cancel but in doing so Sieg will hit like a truck that turn and every turn he still has the buffs so remove them ASAP.

Turn 4 and every 4 turns after casts Uwe which gives Sieg water switch, water cut, and debuff resistance. This cancel needs three debuffs to cancel and is strongly recommended to do so when possible due to the major damage loss of the switch and cut. Bounty Hunter Raise a foe’s Bounty lvl by 1. is a great skill for this thanks to having a 3 turn cooldown.

Siegfried additionally has two sets of stacks. Black Dragon Talon stacks add 1k supp per stack to Sieg’s main damage instance. Black Dragon Scale stacks cap damage at 3m at 1 stack lowering by an additional 300k per stack. These raise when omens go off or when an ally doesn’t attack. They lower and raise on omen cancel and lower by 5 each when Qual Faenge go off. Generally for most fights, they are ignorable but they can stack up on a slower run. There is also a wipe if both stacks reach 10 that is only a concern for solos.
