Strategy

Nidhogg mostly do magic damage so stack MDEF and avoid bringing Lightning Guardians (since they are weak to Darkness). If you're lacking in MDEF equipment or have characters who can't equip it, try and use Wind Guardians in those slots since Wind does not receive any damage from Darkness. Ohryu RNA and Djagos DNA both have skills (Body Double (Magic) and Magical Cover respectively) that can mitigate magic damage for your whole party.

Control time can be useful for this fight. Once you face the boss, you will see 3 glowing orbs ("seeds") on the battlefield. Nidhogg will move onto one or more of these glowing orbs and get a power boost from it. Your job is to spread them apart (they are moveable) so that two of them are not next to each other, so that he cannot be on 2 at once. Also do not put them in the corners as this might make it more difficult to pincer him if he moves into/near a corner.

Bring Fire and/or Earth damage Guardians and potentially a healer if you don’t have a lot of MATK. Attempt double pincer each turn.

Note that Nidhogg can do a Blind attack and a Paralyze attack, so Panacea skills, and Sally and Squeaky companions are useful.
