A pool of white chroma will surge into Renoir, before he unleashes a wave of energy at the party five times. The first four happen in quick succession, and the final one is delayed.

Note: He will also have this attack within the Monolith.

Renoir will crouch and then fly upwards. After a brief pause, he will crash down and Chroma will explode in the nearby area.

Note: he will also have this attack within the Monolith.

From a distance, Renoir will attack one target. This will attack 4 times.

He will begin with a horizontal slicing motion, followed by a thrust a second later.

The third strike will be heavily delayed while Renoir performs a dramatic flourish. He will spin twice, then thrust again.

The final strike, he will leap into the air, and after an audio cue, will slam into your expeditioner.

A 5-6 hit combo, depending on your phase.

Renoir will dash toward an Expeditioner before delivering an uppercut slice, followed by another uppercut shortly after.

The third strike will be a delayed overhead slash, followed by a flourishing hop into a low sweeping attack, and concluding with a jumping slash after a brief pause in the air.

Note: If you are in phase 2 of Old Lumiere or in the Monolith, he will follow up the 5th attack with a 6th, where he will hover in the air, gathering golden chroma before exploding it toward your party member. If this final blow lands, the Expeditioner will be stunned.

Renoir lets out a short grunt right as he is about to attack. Press parry the second you hear it.

Additionally, you can also watch for the following animation cues:

The first two attacks come back to back and have similar speed, but the third, you will need to pause for half a second before parrying.

Ignore the flourish after the third attack. Simply wait for Renoir to jump, as he will attack the second he lands, so press parry as he is about to land back on the ground.

In the 5th attack, he will linger in the air for a moment after jumping. Wait half a second after he jumps, then parry. Timing is similar to strike three, albeit with a different animation.

For the 6th attack, there is a loud audio cue that plays as the chroma coalesces into Renoir. Parry as soon as the sound concludes, as that is when he will erupt.

A dark ink will form above Renoir as he appears to absorb it. The screen will turn dark as the ink rotates, then it will strike the party. (Old Lumiere, phase 1 only)

In phase 2 of Old Lumiere, and for the entire duration of the Monlith battle, he will summon 3 blasts of chroma. The first two will be in succession, the third one, a gradient attack, will be marginally delayed.

If any of these hit the party, it will apply Defenceless.

Watch the pool of chroma. It will begin as a large blob of energy, before quickly shrinking inward. Once it does this, there will be an audio cue.

For Old Lumiere phase 1, simply press your gradient attack button at this time.

For Old Lumiere phase 2, as well a the Monolith battle, use your standard parry for the first 2 strikes, then gradient parry the third. The third will be marginally delayed in its execution, but the timing is still based on the same animation/audio cue.

Renoir will approach one target and reach out his hand before jumping. Then, as he crashes down, the screen will turn black and white, before he strikes to vanish a target. This removes the target from the fight for the remainder of the battle. He has a tendency to OPEN with this attack in Old Lumiere, and he will continue to use it sporadically, or even in succession multiple turns in a row, until he vanishes a party member. Once he vanishes someone, this attack will not trigger again.

During phase 2 of Old Lumiere, as well as the entire Monolith battle, this attack will have one additional attack. Renoir will leap into the air as he does with the phase 1 version, but this time it will just be a standard attack. After he lands, the screen will turn black and white, he will flourish, aiming his back to you, then strike as he turns 180 degrees to face the Expeditioner.

Watch out for the part when the screen turns black and white. Get ready for a Gradient Parry as this attack requires a quick reaction time.

If you are in phase 2 of the Old Lumiere fight, he will attack normally once, then use the vanishing gradient attack. In this case, parry as you see his aerial attack descend towards you, then gradient parry when he has his back to you. The gradient parry timing for phase 2 is marginally delayed due to a flourish versus the timing of phase 1; don't be as eager to parry it the second the screen changes to black and white. If you miss parrying the standard attack during phase 2, don't worry. It's just the gradient attack that will vanish a party member.

Note: This attack is in the wrong section, as he will have access to this attack when facing him in Old Lumiere, AS WELL as inside the Monolith. However, when inside the Monolith, he will ALWAYS use the phase 2 version: basic attack, then gradient vanishing attack.

This is a 4-part attack that triggers when you reach 50% of his second health bar.

Renoir will begin to fly around the arena, gathering powers from all the Axons. Do not let your guard down, despite how cinematic this looks, it IS an attack. Wait until he reconvenes above your party with his new wings and blade drawn.

He will then move to the Expeditors' left before attacking with a dash attack that strikes your entire party.

Afterward, Renoir will now be on the right side of your team and repeat the same action, dashing through them as chromatic chains rain down on your party (don't worry, this is all just visual flair; the dash is the only thing that deals damage).

Afterward, he will fly above your team, gathering a large amount of chroma before hurling it toward the Expedition.

Finally, he will dive bomb onto the Expeditioners after a short delay for a large AOE blast.

Each attack is signalled by two audio cues. The first you will hear, is a chime like sound. Do NOT parry or dodge when this sounds as you will be too early. Renoir will let out a distinct grunt as soon as this chime sound concludes, marking his attack actually occurring.

For the first two attacks, parry when you hear the grunt as by the time the audio ends, the attack will connect with your team. The second grunt might be a bit muted, depending on your music settings, as the music for this attack is scripted to play the chorus of this theme and it's quite loud.

For the chroma blast, there is both the audio cue of the grunt, as well as the visual cue of Renoir pushing his throwing/weapon arm downward toward the party. The timing is the same for both cues (he grunts as his arm descends), so use whichever you find easier to pay attention to.

For the final attack, you want to wait a fraction of a second AFTER his grunt has fully concluded, as he hovers in the air for about a third of a second, THEN divebombs the party.

Similar to the above attacks that happen at specified HP thresholds, ensuring Renoir is stunned around 50% HP will delay the usage of this attack until his next available turn.
