Requirements: Unlocks on Day 5.

Boss Statistics

Overview

• The fifth exhibition features Asvatthaman, as an Archer Class boss with 4 HP bars (501k, 603k, 702k, 1M HP). This encounter has many Burn-related effects, with the party possibly sustaining numerous Burn stacks throughout the encounter!
• Asvatthaman starts with a permanent buff on himself that converts all Burn damage to healing! He also inflicts 1 stack of Burn on himself when attacking, and inflicts 1 stack of Burn on the enemy when taking damage.
• Asvatthaman also gains progressive buffs the more burn stacks he accumulates:
• 3 stacks: Crit Damage +20%
• 5 stacks: Special ATK +30% vs Burn
• 8 stacks: Crit Rate +40%
• 10 stacks: Ignore DEF
• 15 stacks: Ignore Invincible
• 20 stacks: ATK +100%
• 30 stacks: NP charge +2 per turn, NP usage will remove all Burn stacks and inflict Stun himself.
• The boss also comes with two special skills:
• Can consume 2 of his own burn stacks to gain 1 NP Gauge.
• Can buff own Healing Received by 100% and move all burn stacks from all enemies to himself.
• He has several break effects that are all burn-related:
• 1st break: Party gets unremovable Burn Damage +50%; he gets Burn Damage +100% (effectively doubled healing). The party also is inflicted with 3 stacks of burn.
• 2nd break: Again, the party gets unremovable Burn Damage +50%; he gets Burn Damage +100%. The party also gets a permanent ATK debuff that is higher the more burn stacks are inflicted, maxing out at -90% ATK with 4 stacks of burn.
• 3rd break: Everybody gets unremovable Burn Damage +100%. He will absorb all Burn debuffs to himself and clear them; for every 3 burns stacks cleared, he gets 1 unremovable Guts stack (1 time, 70k HP each).
• Note despite many of the effects being unremovable, all the Burn stacks themselves are removable and can be cleared.

Team Recommendations

• ST Lancer Damage Dealers are the most desirable since Asvatthaman is Archer Class. Many welfare options are available, with Yu Mei-ren being a standout for having trait based bonus damage against Male enemies.
• Debuff Immune or Debuff Clear on the damage dealer or from supports is extremely helpful for managing the number of burn stacks on the party. This is particularly important before breaking his third HP bar, to reduce the total number of burn stacks on him so that he has fewer Guts stacks available.
• There are also a few Servants with niche Burn Immunity related abilities, such as BB (Summer) who is entirely burn immune, or Sei Shounagon (Berserker) who has a targetable burn immunity that lasts 3 turns. However, generally it's better to take a strong dedicated damage dealer instead with some debuff clear support since one burn immune Servant isn't usually enough. Burn stacks on any Servant can lead to more Guts stacks on the final HP bar, and longer fights in this encounter are undesirable.
• Damage and NP Gauge Supports are excellent for this encounter as always. Depending on the damage dealer chosen, Altria Caster, Lady Avalon, Tamamo, Koyanskaya, Oberon, Merlin, Skadi/Skadi Ruler, Waver, and Reines are all excellent choices.
• The Event Damage CE should also be equipped on the damage dealer, to ensure maximum damage output.
