Boss Statistics

Overview

• A face-off against The Count of Monte Cristo, an Avenger with 4 HP bars (172k, 213k, 261k, 320k HP), where this time he must be defeated fully.
• All allies will gain a minor Damage +20% effect, and Offensive Class Advantage against the boss (2.0x damage) from a field effect.
• The boss will inflict a special curse effect, Hellfire of Vengeance, which has the following effects:
• Deal 200 dmg/turn
• Defensive Buff Success Rate -10%
• ATK +10%
• Offensive Class Disadvantage (0.5x) against the boss
• After break, having 7 or more stacks active will make his break effect more threatening.
• Master Skill usage can remove Hellfire of Vengeance stacks:
• Master Skill 1: Removes 1 stack from all allies, restores 1,000 HP, and gives +10% NP.
• Master Skill 2: Removes 1 stack from all allies, decrease skill cooldown by 1 for a random Servant, and gives 1-turn of immunity from further Hellfire of Vengeance stacks.
• Master Skill 3: Removes 3 stacks from all allies, and gain 5 Stars per turn for all allies.
• Masters can also more quickly reduce their Master Skill cooldowns:
• Master Skill 1: Use any Command Card attack (1 turn), land a Critical Hit (50% chance for 1 turn).
• Master Skill 2: Use an NP (2 turns).
• Master Skill 3: Use a Servant Skill (1 turn).
• The Count has a special status called Burning Out of Love and Hate which has a delayed effect that activates after its turn count expires depending on the number of Hellfire of Vengeance stacks active.

Team Recommendations

• The primary gimmick of this battle requires Masters to frequently use their Master Skills to clear off Hellfire of Vengeance stacks, and then subsequently perform the various combat options (using Command Cards, Crits, NP, and Skills) to quickly reduce Master Skill cooldowns so that they can be used again to clear more stacks. If Hellfire of Vengeance is active, Servants take a very steep 0.5x damage multiplier penalty, so it is highly desirable to remove them as quickly as possible.
• Single Target Damage Dealer options are quite flexible, because all Servants will gain Offensive Class Advantage against the boss due to the field effect (even Rulers). As a result, instead Masters can opt for Servants with Trait Bonus damage.
• Euryale is a powerful low rarity option with Trait Bonus damage.
• Note that Avengers are unavailable for this battle.
• Taunt Supports can be useful to help protect the primary damage dealer. Alternatively, Taunt CEs are also an option for Servants that do not innately have a Taunt skill.
• NP Gauge and Damage Support is ever useful to help the damage dealer defeat the bosses more quickly. Supports including Castoria, Lady Avalon, Skadi/Skadi Ruler, Merlin, Koyanskaya, Oberon, Waver, or Reines all are excellent choices depending on the damage dealer's Card color.
