Strategy & Tips

The final Act 3 Boss with a complex 8-turn cycle: Strength +4, Attack 28, Weakness 3 + Vulnerable 2, 3x14 (42 total), Block 24, Add Status Card, Attack 40, Strength +4. Turn 1 Strength buff makes everything worse — turn 2's 28 becomes 32. Turn 3's debuffs are devastating, making turn 4's 3x14 effectively deal 3x18 = 54 with Vulnerability and Strength.

That is the deadliest turn in the game. Cleanse Vulnerable immediately before turn 4. Block above all else on turns 4 and 7 (40+4 Strength = 44 damage).

Weakness removal is vital to maintain offense. Chill is critical for the 3x14 multi-hit. Use the block turn 5 and Status Card turn 6 as recovery windows.

At 400 HP, sustained damage is mandatory — stack Poison and Burn. The Toxic Vial and Burning Candle relics both help significantly. This is a war of attrition requiring perfect debuff management.
