Luther wrote the book on how to defeat this monster. His post is available in the non-English game forum, but I have copied it here.
What i found this one good :
have unique passive skill u need to work to get them, adjust the right position team to trigger pasif skill and use them. Some of them is hard to trigger and every member had several unique skill.
The strongest boss here is not a joke, but with some tactics u can kill with easily. I have find a way to kill it fast before he spam his jammer golem. This guy block our skill so need to kill it then we can use skill again.
Before fight make sure u raise all stas to max to all of ur member. I will asume u rise ur best skill to max ( 1000 count ).
Valen and gruff
Weapons : bear stuff or anything u get to rise physical dmg
Armor and helmet : cheer suit and peppery bandana.
Accs : double start charm
Leila (must act first after the bear) well the bear always run first anyway except mia use her stuff.
Weapon : anything
Armor and helmet : cheer set.
Accs : tri hit charm ( this must to increase ur hits count dmg max 250% )
Mia ( my dmg dealer) i use valen,mia and gruff in vanguard to activated mia passive skill buff)
Weapons : aradia broom
Armor and helmet : cheer set
Accs : double start charm
So now after the bear hit u make sure u dont get any rage stats, i have rage resist lvl 9 to all member. Note : max SPD stats point (9999) to all member.
Leila turn : use overload brick skill so u can have 4 turn, then all spam falling blocks with this u can have at least 250+ hits and have 250% dmg buff.
Now is mia turn. Use starfall earth lvl 99 magic skill 1000 count have 5000 force power plus can raise crit dmg to 1.5 . The best skill ever. With set up i can do 10mil dmg twice. The bear had 33mil health points. Now he near death.
Rest valen use blood price to make sure everything is goods or just hit with his best physical skill twice. Some with gruff. Now the bear 100% death.
With this tactics u can not see the bear berserk state. Cause if the bear berserk his rise all attributes and we lose attributes, the trouble is his jammer golem we cant use any skill just normal hits. If u want hardcore ways u can left the bear haft health points and tried.

I’ve defeated THE BEAR on Hard, but on Expert, the best I’ve achieved is to get The Bear into rage, and then he wipes out my party. On Expert I don’t see how it is possible do that much before it gets its first true turn, at which time it creates all the blocking golems. From then on, you are restricted to Attack and Hyper Arts.
[ADDED] I finally defeated THE BEAR on Expert! What a struggle…Valen was both a punching bag AND a heroic attacker. Arc Hood equipment was crucial on Valen, as he would die many times. A large supply of Hi-Potion and other consumables was necessary. A long long battle (I believe the Wall had at least 3 uses of Hyper Arts) with nothing but attack to cause damage to the monster (no skills). No gacha equipment involved.

Congrats,
Seems my tactics need best skill force dmg to do that. For aradia broom i just got lucky on premium ticket draw and of course u need to max crit attributes.
On my first tried i do the same like yours, his doing summin things and i must use haft sage dust to keep reviving my others char, until i can kill jammer golem and spam skill again to kill that BEAR.
On expert this bear very challenging if u do not kill him before he doing his summon.

Yes, I had to struggle while the golems were there. I wound up just constantly attacking The Bear and left the golems alone. I never did get my skills back, but I was able to use ATK to finally kill the monster. I did have all characters with a max skill (Explosion for Mia and Valen, Falling Blocks for Leila, and Starfall for Gruff), and even with double start and overload, I couldn’t kill Bear before his first real turn (in fact, I cut him down to about 30%). So you killed the golems? Interesting–I might give that a try. but I would need to replenish my consumables.
[EDIT] I gave @Luther strategy a try, and it worked! I didn’t do exactly what he listed, but took the attitude of maxing out first turn for everybody, and not worry about defense or subsequent turns (because The Bear would make sure we got no more turns).

Although most of Miden Tower has its difficulties, in general there isn’t a lot thought needed. HOWEVER, choosing the right tactics for fighting the toughest boss on Expert (THE BEAR at the end of Beryl’s Dreamland) is critical. It may take some trial and error, but almost everything is important: formation, skills, and equipment all play a role. That makes it an attractive challenge, and a boss worthy of being enshrined in the KEMCO MONSTER HALL of FAME. Of course doing the grinding to get prepared is a chore, but there are ways to speed that up. The only problem there is that if you level up the wrong skills, you will discover you will need to do some additional grinding with better skills.
Armor: Anything that increases ATK &/or INT: Cheer Suit, Cheer Dress, Hot Cardigan
Helmet: Elemental Sunglasses that match the element of your maxed out skill; perhaps Strainer Headband for Leila
Accessory: Triple Hit Charm (Leila), Double Start Charm for everybody else
Skills near the end of the “list” of skills are probably candidates for your strongest skill (except for Leila, for whom you should max Falling Blocks). The potential max skill (after 1000 uses) is probably the one with the greatest Force when times used is 0. Not all elements have the same max force. (Fire “Zeta Flare” has 4725, Earth “Starfall” has 5075; I didn’t max out a Water skill or a Physical)
Use the cauldrons to create Cheer equipment and needed Charms. You can create everything you need without arena items or the Shop (but you will use treasure items).
Put your weakest character (NOT Leila) in middle row, everybody else in vanguard.
