In the first phase of this fight Grafted Scion will use the following moves.
- Twice Slash: It will use its swords to do two wild slashes in front of it.

Learn these moves and keep attacking. Once you bring its health below half it will begin the second phase.
Phase 2
You can recognize the second phase when it enchants its blades with magic. The blades will emit a yellow aura. There are no new moves in this fight just you have to be extra careful of the blades.
Like most battles pay attention to your stamina and FP bar. If you plan to use ranged attacks then do so when its shield is down. Else you will end up wasting ammo or in the case of spells FP.
