Deja vu, I have fought this boss before!
Higher on the Wind, and I know its still as terrible as last time.

Fight Overview

  • 9m x2 HP
  • 30% battery tax. 70/75/80% brv damage reduction.
  • Immune to its own debuffs and all Imperils
  • Naturally weak to melee and ranged.

Orb details

Lufenia Orb (if it reaches 0 = game over)
1st: Orb count: 20, appears at start, disappears at 29% HP
Increase: by 10 when you deal Wind damage to the boss (max: 20)
– Counterplay: Bring Wind damage. since it’s +10, just a single Wind unit or even some Calls (ex Fujin CA) can maintain it.

Boss Gimmicks

Mechanic Rundown

  • This is random stuff that tends to just happen on their turns.
  • Brio Shot – big ol AoE Brv+HP that inflicts a framed HP poison.
  • Wild Breath – ST 2t delay
  • Wide Scratch – AoE Brv attack, 1T Delay on Break
  • Penetrating Punch – inflicts Intimidate, a framed 100% defense (and 20% speed) debuff
  • Bear Rush – HTR on Break/Broken
  • Counterplay: Avoid any situation in which you might get Broken via battery or tanking. If possible, bring a unit who can cleanse/prevent debuffs. Bring a healer to keep up with lots of damage going out.

BRV Charge, et al.

  • At 49%, Bosses cleanse all debuffs and gain an invisible effect that grants 40k brv after their turn for the remainder of the fight.
  • At 79%, 59%, and 29%, Bosses cleanse all debuffs, gain brv, gain a red aura that reduces all brv damage taken to 1, and queue Spear Shot
  • Aura is dispelled on break, in a change from Ciaran LC.
  • Spear Shot is a 60% gravity, a brv gain, and then a Brv+HP inflicts 3t framed Setzer freeze if it breaks the target
  • If red aura is still present, Spear Shot + will be used instead, dispelling and killing its target.
  • Counterplay: Instant Break or 100% Gravity for the thresholds. Heavy, consistent shave for the regen aura. Battery or tank for the Spear Shot
