Have you ever had a ten-minute boss fight? It's a test of your concentration, that's for sure.
In these conditions, Deranged Armour can and will one-hit Nobeta without the aid of Ice armour, but there's other reasons why I solely used Ice on this boss. Several failed attempts included the other magical elements.
Lightning Level 1, while great for safely trekking back to the boss room after a failed attempt, can only have its normal attack fired once due to low mana pool, channeling takes a really long time, and its strongest hit comes pretty late and the DSA would sometimes walk outside the blast radius, or hit Nobeta while she was casting. Overall, not a reliable source of damage.
Fire Level 3 suffers from a similar problem, where the strongest part of the special attack comes later and the boss might not be caught in it. There's also the fact the blast radius is massive at Level 3 and it's possible to accidentally yeet Nobeta with it.
Arcane Level 3 straight up does 0 damage if the cannon shot hits the armour, and about 38 damage if it hits a weakspot. It also doesn't stun the DSA, which at least Fire and Lightning are capable of doing.

This might be shocking, but this isn't even the hardest bossfight to do. Both phases of Monica's boss fight in NG+ are much, much harder on a level 1 Nobeta.
