Cutie Pi; Wooly Bull

Cutie Pi; Wooly Bull is a boss in Bravely Default, encountered as a Nemesis in Norende Village. It is a powered-up version of Lord DeRosso accompanied by a powered-up version of Victor.

Battle
Cutie Pi (DeRosso) tends to spam with Battle Thirst three times followed by Energy Burst, while Victor uses Holy followed by Moderation. Other moves include Graviga + Bone Crush Combo from Cutie Pi and Dispel from Victor.

Strategy
You will definitely need some sort of BP Recovery if you want to act your turns against them. Though, even if you GET to act, those two are quite formidable. Both sport 9999 Physical Defense, rendering most physical attacks useless. To make it worse, both also sport over 200 Magic Defense, reducing magical attacks very harshly.

An effective strategy is to reduce the party to critical health with MP Free In a Pinch equipped and with two party members much faster than the others. The faster members should have Black Magic and/or Time Magic, and the slower ones Spiritism and Singing. The fastest party members (the mages) should equip the Black Magic ability Pierce M.Defense, which allows bypassing Magic Defense and dealing normal damage with magic, then brave once and use strong offensive magic (especially Dark, to which Victor is weak) for both actions. The Meteor time-magic spell also works well against those two under this restriction imposed by Pierce M.Defense.

Of the two slower party members, one should use Stillness, and the other brave once and cast One More For You on the one who cast Stillness, and then take any action that will not change Brave Points. At the end of the turn, all party members should be at -2 brave points. The player can now simply set the game to autobattle.

If using the Time Magic ability Hasten World, then the fastest mages can brave three times and attack with magic while the slower Spiritmaster, if also equipped with White Magic, can first attack with Holy (to which DeRosso/Cutie Pi is weak) then follow with Stillness; in this case One More For You may not be necessary.

Cutie Pi is the faster of the two; still, at only 90 Speed, it is entirely possible to outspeed him and put up Stillness for protection. Depending on your BP recover strategies, you might end up only having to use it every three or so turns, too.
