• Increase his own Max HP by 150%, but decrease both his DEF and Damage Resist by 50%, all unremovable.
• The below effects are the same as from the prior encounter.
• The boss will start the battle with a random one of two possible starting skills:
• One gives the boss Crit Rate -500%, ATK +50%, and Anti-Star Attribute damage +50% (1 turn).
• The other gives the boss Crit Rate +500%, and inflicts party with Burn Damage +200% and Curse Damage +200% (1 turn).
• On Turn 2, and every 4 turns (6, 10, 14, etc.), the boss will apply a buff that gives it MAX NP Gauge on the next turn.
• The boss also has a multitude of other special skills it can use:
• Remove buffs from a random Servant, NP Gain -50% (3 turns), NP Gauge -20%, and boss's DEF +20% (3 turns).
• Clear debuffs from boss and give it Debuff Immune (1 time, 3 turns) and Damage Cut +10,000 (1 turn).

• Boss NP Gauge +1, random Servant's Skill Cooldowns +2, Burn on party (5 turns, 1000 dmg/turn).
• Convert all ATK Up buffs into ATK Down (3 turns).
• The boss's NP deals bonus damage to Mechanical trait targets, and removes defensive buffs after damage. It also drains 50% NP Gauge from the party and inflicts a damaging Burn (3 turns, 3000 dmg/turn).

Team Recommendations

• For this battle, Masters must take two NPC Supports in the party frontline. Both of them are more than capable of dealing with the boss, and Masters can take a Support from friend supports if desired.
• The best support options would be either Skadi or Skadi Ruler, given both of the NPC supports are primarily Quick Servants.
