Sophie lacks any elemental weaknesses and is resistant to Fire, Water, and Wind, so focus on using Non-Elemental and Earth artes. In this situation, Edna is a good seraph to keep in battle for as long as possible since her artes won’t trigger Sophie’s resistance. What Sophie lacks in both Defense and Arte Defense, she more than makes up for in Attack. It is imperative to guard and dodge her attacks to put yourself into a good position to strike when an opening presents itself. You can also use your hidden artes against Sophie’s martial or hidden artes; it’s more risky, but can also be useful against her. However, keep in mind that Sophie has a special ability that doubles the amount of BG she gains while defending, so hold off your attacks when she’s in a guard stance since her Mystic Arte ‘Zero Dissolver’ is particularly brutal. The key to victory here is to find a balance between attack and defense to prepare for her onslaught of martial and hidden artes, then carefully using your martial, hidden, and seraphic artes in response to the artes she uses.
Defeating Sophie awards you the fashion item ‘Pigtails’. Fitting.
