Another fantastic boss from @HeartFelt that I've slightly edited!

Schanz, the MasterMime

Example:
Level: 150
Power: 4

Location: The Void: April Fools Challenge
Monster Lean: Defensive (0.75 Input/Output)
Element: Wind

Resists:
Fire: 0%
Water: 100%
Wind: 0%
Ice: 50%
Earth: 130%
Energy: 120%
Light: 50%
Darkness: 50%

M/R/M = Low MRM Focus, higher HP to compensate (relies on ‘Barricade Style’ status for MRM boost)

Stat Distribution:
STR: 0
DEX: 300
INT: 0
END: 250
CHA: -100
LUK: 300

Effect:
  • Standard Boss Boost, Soft Damage Cap, and Freedom. Also possesses an additional +30 Mental Status Immunity
  • This battle consists of Schanz, and two ‘companions’ - extra sets of arms (‘Methode de Chapline’ and ‘Volonte de Marceau’). You can select any of these to prioritise
  • While both Methode de Chapline and Volonte de Marceau are alive, Schanz cannot receive any damage*

    * Schanz swiftly parries your attack with a perfectly-timed barricade!

  • The Mime’s Normal attacks are three hit Ranged Wind. This deals reduced damage to attempt to afflict the player with Silence (1 turn), which can be resisted at a -20 bonus*:

    MonsterLvl vs PlayerLvl
    Major: MonsterDEX vs PlayerEND
    Minor: MonsterLUK vs PlayerLUK

    *You feel an invisible rope silence you!
    You manage to avoid being silenced!

  • If Schanz has enough SP, he will spend it to use a six-hit Wind Magic attack. This disables your Pets/Guests*:

    *Schanz traps your pets and Guests in an invisible box!

  • While Volonte de Marceau is alive, the boss gains the ‘Mime Art: Barricade Style’ status, which is essentially a renamed permanent Defence Boost. This monster acts as a booster (i.e. does no damage, solely applies this effect)*

    * Schanz’s upper arms brace for impact!

  • While Methode de Chapline is alive, the boss gains the ‘Mime Art: Slapstick Style’, essentially a renamed Elemental Empowerment. This monster acts as a booster (i.e. does no damage, solely applies this effect)*.

    * Schanz’s lower arms prepare to strike!

    If Methode de Chapline is alive, and Schanz does not already possess the status ‘Mime Art: Slapstick Style’ (+[x]% outgoing damage), he gains it for five turns at the end of the attack. *
  • Immediately after both Volonte de Marceau and Methode de Chapline have been defeated, Schanz gains ‘Invisible Box’ (renamed ‘Barrier’) equal to his Damage Cap for two turns*

    *Mime Art: Impenetrable Fortress!

    Appearance:
  • Schanz resembles an old-school black-and-white striped mime, but with some unusual aspects. Most notably, he has four extra arms extending out of his back in the same color scheme (these can be either actual flesh or spirit arms), and his mime face appears tranquil. He is wearing a silk opera hat, beret, or bowler hat (this can be randomized), and black, curled hair can be seen underneath the hat and running down the sides of his face. Volonte de Marceau and Methode de Chapline are not separate monsters.
  • For his standard attack, Schanz appears to manifest an invisible rope, and swings it at the Hero with the force of a whip, leaving sonic cracks in the air.
  • For his SP skill, Schanz’s six arms launch into a series of rapid-fire palm thrusts from a distance, which all appear to slam into the Hero. This attack is performed by the creation of several small, invisible barriers, which are then each sent flying at the Hero.
  • There is no animation for the deaths of Methode de Chapline or Volonte de Marceau. When Schanz is defeated, his face becomes far more expressive as he mimes being struck in the heart by an arrow, attempting to pull it out, before collapsing to the ground.

    Description: The art of Miming is one that bestows tremendous power upon its practitioners… but the fact that mimes are incredibly creepy means that there aren’t many willing to study it in the first place. However, as this prodigious performer demonstrates, those who look past that are rewarded with plenty of training and secret techniques. The few Mimes that remain are all true masters of their craft- giving a whole new meaning to the term ‘silent but deadly’!



    Status Descriptions
  • Mime Art: Barricade Style: Invisible blockers have always been a part of Mime culture- but the Barricade Style proves that just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there. As your attacks harmlessly bounce off of thin air, it seems you’ve realized that firsthand.
  • Mime Art: Slapstick Style: Slapstick comedy isn't supposed to actually hurt. While you're defending against the fighting techniques of the Slapstick Style, try and focus on not getting pummeled instead of thinking about how counterintuitive this whole thing is.
  • Mime Art: Impenetrable Fortress: Why, that little… he’s attempting to hide in an invisible box! It looks like he can’t keep that technique active for long, though… maybe just try hitting him until it breaks?



    MasterMime's Mitre
    MC Wind Misc. MC is spent on the ability to grant the player additional outgoing damage or M/R/M resist in exchange for locking them out of using spells or armor skills, as well as Wind resistance.

    Example Tier:
    Level: 150 Mastercraft
    PowerLvl: 153

    Price: 6,051,293
    Sellback: 3,025,646
    Location: Defeat Schanz, the MasterMime
    Cost: [X] SP
    Element: Wind

    Effects:
  • Provides *0.5 Wind resistance
  • Click to swap between two modes: “Slapstick” and “Barricade”
  • In “Slapstick” mode, the player gains “Mime Art: Slapstick Style” (renamed Berserk (-15 bth, *85/70 damage). The player deals a further +[y]% damage, but is inflicted with Silence. This is permanent and lasts until you switch form or unequip the misc*

    * Mime Art: Slapstick Style! In exchange for your silence, the Slapstick Style’s heavy blows boost the damage of your attacks!

  • In “Barricade” mode, the player games “Mime Art: Barricade Style” (renamed Defence Boost (+[z] MRM)), but also Silence. This is permanent and lasts until you switch form or unequip the misc*

    * Mime Art: Barricade Style! In exchange for your silence, the Barricade Style’s invisible walls will bolster your blocking capabilities!

  • MC Effect: Reduced SP Cost

    Appearance: A tattered gray opera hat, with a bright red flower sticking out of it. The hat appears to be made out of silk, and the flower resembles a red rose or carnation.
    Description: Invoking the power of the Mime arts will force you to take a vow of silence, but should you accept, you’ll gain protection from the scathing winds of criticism, as well as the otherworldly powers of practitioners long past! This headpiece was once worn by Bip, the second great MasterMime- a noble soul who spread the art by protecting those in danger with his skills. (Mimes can be good people too. Shocking, right?)



    Slap Stick
    MC Wind Magic Staff. MC allows the player to choose between damage or ‘Silence’ mode that attempts to silence your opponent

    Example Tier:
    Level: 150 Mastercraft
    PowerLvl: 153

    Price: 24,205,166
    Sellback: 12,102,582
    Location: Defeat Schanz, the MasterMime

    Damage: Magic
    Proc: 0%
    Element: Wind
    Lean: -5 bth (*85/80 damage)

    Effect:
  • 0-proc so *1.08 damage
  • Click the Curve of the cane to switch between “Damage” and “Silence” mode*

    * Click the cane to have it attempt to Silence your opponent!
    Click the cane to return to simple slapstick.

  • In damage mode, the player gains “Mime Art: Slapstick Style” (renamed Berserk (-10 bth, *85/75 damage). The MC fuels a further *1.05 damage
  • In Silence Mode, the weapon will deal -25% damage and pays its MC to attempt to Silence your foe (prevented from using Spells/Skills, 1 turn). The status description reads: This monster has been forced into silence by the power of Mimes long past! Unable to cast Spells/skills!. Your foe can resist at a +0 bonus*:

    Level: 153 vs Monsterlvl
    Major: Your INT vs. Monster INT
    Minor: Your LUK vs Monster LUK

    *Ssssh!
    Your opponent cannot (and will not) not be Silenced!

  • NB: Silence lacks a solid valuation, so I assume here it to be worth 50% melee per turn

    Appearance: The Slap Stick is a long walking cane made of wood, with a spiral design carved into it. Despite its shape, it is actually quite light and springy.
    Description: This ancient cane is a relic of the MasterMimes of old, and can invoke their power to forcibly Sillence your opponent! Some say that it used to belong to the most powerful Mime to ever walk Lore. Due to his loyalty to the craft, nobody actually knew his name- but his downtrodden appearance and unusual behavior led many to refer to him as simply ‘The Tramp’.

    Wiraqocha, Great Defender of Arcadia

    Example:
    Level: 150
    Power: 5

    Location: The Void
    Monster Lean: Defensive (x0.75 Input/Output)
    Element: Earth

    Resists:
    Fire: 40%
    Water: 100%
    Wind: 25%
    Ice: 70%
    Earth: 25%
    Energy: 70%
    Light: 60%
    Darkness: 60%

    M/R/M = Low MRM Focus, higher HP to compensate

    Stat Distribution:
    STR: 300
    DEX: 0
    INT: 0
    END: 250
    CHA: 0
    LUK: 200

    Effect:
  • Possesses a comparatively weak Soft Damage Cap (Clawback ~0.7), Form Shift Immunity, Freedom, and Sturdy
  • This battle is conducted at high altitude. During each turn, the player is Choked based on the number of hits they landed on the previous round (-12.5% Damage per hit)*. This effect is doubled for spells/skills.
    *Expending effort at this altitude has left you breathless!

  • The boss follows a cycle of attacks:

    1). Attack: Melee Earth Damage. This attack gives the boss Defence Loss (-12 MRM) but also Elemental Shield (-20/1.4% incoming damage, renamed to “Iron Skin”)
    2). Attack: Melee Earth Damage. Defence Loss (-12 MRM) but also Elemental Shield (-20/1.4% incoming damage, renamed to “Iron Skin”)
    3). Blessings of the Harvest. The Boss applies a Heal Element Spiritual Seed (1 turn duration. Will heal the monster on the following turn). [See Effect Below]
    4). Attack: Wind Ranged Damage. This automatically hits.

  • If at any point the monster gathers sufficient SP, it will spend it to unleash a Wind/Energy 4 hit attack that Silences the player, which can be resisted at a -20 bonus*:

    MonsterLvl vs PlayerLvl
    Major: MonsterSTR vs PlayerEND
    Minor: MonsterLUK vs PlayerLUK
    The monster will then continue the cycle as above.

    *The music from the panpipe drowns you out, silencing you!
    You manage to avoid being silenced by the panpipe’s music

  • The power of the spiritual seed created by Blessings of the Harvest is dependent on the number of water or fire attacks the boss receives, tracked by an internal counter. Each hit of water damage increases the potency of the effect, each fire hit decreases it. This is reset after Blessings of the harvest is cast.
  • If the player possesses Defence Boost, the boss will automatically switch to using its wind attack instead of earth attacks (Blessings of the harvest will still proc). In addition, these attacks will deal additional damage and have a 100% chance to critical hit.
  • Once the boss reaches 50% HP, it will switch into “Sun Child” form. This switches its element to Light, and its Monster lean becomes offensive (x1.5 Input/Output)
  • In “Sun Child” Form, the monster is treated as receiving 1 fire attack per turn (thus weakening Blessings of the Harvest”). It also no longer regenerates SP.
  • The above attack pattern shifts:

    1). Skill: The Boss Spends HP to deal a high damage Fire/Light attack that empowers the boss’ Light and Fire Element attacks.
    2). Attack: Melee Earth/Light Damage. The boss still receives Defence Loss (-12 MRM) but instead gains Backlash
    3). Attack: Melee Earth/Light Damage. The boss still receives Defence Loss (-12 MRM) but instead gains Backlash
    4). Attack: Wind/Fire Ranged Damage. This automatically hits and cannot be backlashed.
    5). The Boss activates Blessings of the Harvest.

  • If the player has active Backlash or MRM Boost as above, the boss will revert to using the Wind/Fire ranged attack, which crits as before. The skill also still be used and follows these effects.

    Appearance:
  • The boss looks like This, wielding an ancient peruvian mace (see weapon head here and Incan longbow
  • For the earth attack, the boss runs at the player and strikes them multiple times with the mace
  • For the wind attack, the boss steps back and draws the longbow. A condor spirit can briefly be seen before the boss launches multiple arrows at the player
  • For the first skill, the boss plays Peruvian panpipes to generate a thunderstorm
  • When entering “Sun Child” form, the sun intensifies, and the bosses’ tattoos begin to glow golden. His robes become gold and his mace catches alight with bright yellow fire
  • For his earth/light attack, the boss runs at the player and strikes them with the mace as before
  • For his wind/fire attack, the boss draws the longbow and fires flaming arrows at the player in a similar manner to before
  • For his fire/light skill. The boss calls upon the sun to blast the player with rays of light

    Description: Child of the Sun, Protector of Paradise, Defender of Nature. Dare you stand in his way?

    @JhyShy recently suggested an idea on Elemental Disempowerment, which I really wanted to use on an item...

    Circuit Break
    MC Energy Spell/SPell, useable once per battle. Instead of once per battle bonus, inflicts elemental disempowerment.

    Example Tier:
    Level: 150 Mastercraft
    PowerLvl: 153

    Price: 24,205,166
    Sellback: 12,102,583
    Location: LTS
    hits: 5
    Element: Energy
    Cost: 653 MP / 392 SP

    Effects:
  • Quickcast Spell/SPell. Magic version deals 125% Melee. Skill version deals 100% Melee. Skill comes in Warrior (STR) and Ranger (DEX) versions. All are treated as spells
  • Instead of a once per battle bonus, instead attempts to inflict "Short-circuit", a renamed Elemental Disempowerment to Water attacks. MC boosts the potency of the effect. Your foe can resist at a -20 bonus*:

    MonsterLvl vs PlayerLvl
    Major: Player[INT/STR/DEX] vs MonsterEND
    Minor: PlayerLUK vs MonsterLUK

    *Short circuit! Your foe must be careful using water attacks!
    Your foe manages to prevent itself from being short-circuited!

  • Balance-wise: Monster turns are worth 140*0.85% Melee as precedent. Therefore a 50+10% Melee reduction to Water at a -20 bonus is worth 60/1.4/0.7*(85/85) = -61.22% Damage, which I suggest splitting over 2 turns for -30.71% damage per turn. This formula equates to Choke, which is unfair since that status affects all elements. To compensate, I suggest a further /0.6 is added to the modifier (an "omnielemental bonus") for a total of -102.03% and -51.02% damage per turn respectively.

    Appearance: The sky darkens and a white lightning bolt falls from the sky to strike your foe and deal the 5 hits of damage
    Description: This once per battle spell/skill can completely fry your foe's circuits! While they get them back online, they'll have to be wary when using any Water element attacks!



    Prismatic Iridescence
    MC Light Weapon. Attempts to inflict daze when casting a light spell.

    Location: Rare GGB

    Cap for damage-scaled effects
    Damage-scaling effects are notorious, with some of the most powerful items in the game counted amongst their ranks. Unlike normal effects, they explicitly receive the benefits of damage boosting items, making them abnormally efficient in offensive setups. They are widely seen to overperform, and are thus difficult to release. However, I believe that these effects can be salvaged with a few tweaks. My solution to the problem is a modified version of an existing effect: soft damage caps. Some damage-scaling effects have already attempted this (e.g., Mason form). However, I think two things have limited their value:
    1). The clawback isn't sufficient (a relatively easy fix).
    2). The cap isn't uniquely tailored to the item.

    What I mean by this second point is that most caps are tailored based on expected damage. This is a problem because items provide different %Melee values and sacrifice different damage portions for their effects. I demonstrate my solution below with a rework to one of the most overpowered damage scaling items: Infinita staff:



    Infinita Staff
    MC Dark Weapon. Heals SP or MP based on the damage dealt

    Price: 0
    Sellback: 0
    Location: Rare GGB

    Damage: Same as now
    Type: [See Effect]
    Element: Darkness
    Special: 0%

    Effects:
  • 0-proc, so *1.08 damage.
  • Click to swap between Melee, Ranged and Magic damage
  • In Melee/Ranged mode, the weapon deals -25% damage and you heal 33.3*1.125% of the damage done in SP. In Magic mode, you heal 33*1.5% of the damage dealt in MP [this doesn't need the *0.75 as it receives this already as it's based on magic weapon damage].
  • This heal is modified by a new cap system, functioning like Soft Damage Cap
    quote:

    Damage = sround( Cap * ( damage / Cap )^ Exponent )


    The value for this item is as follows, assuming 404 as an expected value of a Melee attack::
    quote:

    Cap = [Expected Melee Attack] * [%Melee Value of Effect] * [Resource Conversion Modifier]
    Melee/Ranged Cap = 404 * 0.25 * 1.125 = 113.625 SP
    Magic Cap = 404 * 0.1875 * 1.5 = 113.625 MP
    Clawback = 0.5


    Clawback is set at 0.5 as a more potent alternative to the 0.75 of Mason form (0.1 is also an option). Thus, a 6000 damage attack, which would initially be expected to heal 2250 SP / 2970 MP with the above numbers, would actually heal:
    quote:

    sround( 113.625 * ( 2250 / 113.625 ) ^ 0.5 ) = 505.6 SP
    sround( 113.625 * ( 2970 / 113.625 ) ^ 0.5 ) = 580.9 MP


    NB: This happens as part of the attack. The player only sees the capped, modified value

    Appearance: Same as now
    Description: Same as now

    There are obviously complications to doing this with status effects. The above is a simple example of how such a precedent could be set.

    I like that Infinita received a melee version, but I actually prefer the Nickelclad approach over damage scaling.

    I feel that most damage scaling stuff isn't as OP as some think. In your example, after an adjustment I would have to do 6000 damage just top heal 500+. If I am doing 6k damage, I'm essentially just killing the monster and thus, I have a less of aneed for the damage scaling effect. While resource heals is certainly a bonus, and more useful than say, how mason choke or alchemical's blind is done, since the resources carry over, I think your adjustment is way too over-nerfed.

    Now, Infinita needs an adjustment, there's no doubt. But I would prefer the nickelclad approach, but altered for infinita slightly to make the heal part better than nickelclad. And other necessary adjustments considering nickelclad is 2 resources and infinita is 1. But I wouldn't be opposed to making Infinita a MP/SP version for all 3 MRM's, with the same 80%+ check. Then instead of paying 10%/13% damage (i think this is what nickelclad paid), increase this to maybe 20-25% on the heal mode for infinita. And on the other toggle (if there is one) just make it pure damage. OR the toggle could be MP and SP, but still make it work like nickelclad.

    I just really think damage scaling effects are overrated, are not OP in 98% of instances, as the scaling effects is not whats making a player win. The damage is. Then damage caps minimize the effects.

    I say all this, because I'd like to see an infinita rework from someone that mirrors nickelclad , but infinita being superior considering its a GGB.

    Blue Jet
    MC Energy Spell/Skill. Takes two casts to use. Deals damage and guarantees paralysis.

    Example Tier:
    Level: 150 Mastercraft
    PowerLvl: 153

    Price: 0
    Sellback: 0
    Location: UR GGB
    hits: 6
    Element: Energy
    Cost: 915 MP + 52 HP

    Effects:
  • This spell functions similarly to Unraveling Nightmare
  • It further deals +25% damage (50% Melee) for the additional MP cost, as well as +7.5% for the 15% Melee HP cost
  • The spell also consumes the first use to charge and the second to cast properly. When charging, you pay the standard resource cost as normal, as well as inflict a -9 MRM Defence loss for 2 turns. This applies a further +15% damage (30% Melee)
  • On the second turn, the attack deals x2 damage, +10% damage due to two turns of +5% MC and +1% turn delay bonus, +100% damage for the cost on turn #1, in addition to the damage above.
  • In addition to the above, it then takes -119% Melee and your foe is automatically Paralysed, unless it is immune or >= 50 levels higher than the player.

    Appearance: This from a darkened sky.
    Description: One of the most potent Energy spells ever created, this incantation calls for an immense jet of blue lightning down from the heavens! While it may take time to charge, it both deals incredible levels of damage and is guaranteed to prevent your foe from fighting back!

    Falcon's Freefall
    MC Wind Quickcast Spell/Skill. Automatically crits. MC is used to attempt Wind Elemental Vulnerability.

    Example Tier:
    Level: 150 Mastercraft
    PowerLvl: 153

    Price: 0
    Sellback: 0
    Location: UR GGB
    hits: 6
    Element: Wind
    Cost: 490 SP/ 653 MP

    Effects:
  • The skill version of this attack uses DEX for stat bonuses. The spell version uses INT as normal.
  • This attack is quickcast, so *1.25/2 damage. You can only use this attack once per battle.
  • Unlike other quickcast attacks, this one automatically crits. However, it deals /(2.5*[ExpectedLUK]/[LUK]) damage (the player is assumed to have LUK when using this attack. Dividing by LUK ensures the denominator is smaller if you have greater than expected LUK).
  • MC Effect: This is worth 2*1.25 normal MC because the attack is worth 125% melee, and you'd be expected to use this twice in a standard 10-turn battle. This is 5*2*1.25 = 12.5% Melee. All of this is used to inflict a 1 turn Elemental vulnerability to Wind attacks (12.5 / 0.5 / 1.4 / 0.85 = +21% damage, 1 turn), saved at a +0 bonus*:

    PlayerLvl vs MonsterLvl
    Major: Player[DEX/INT] vs MonsterEND
    Minor: PlayerLUK vs MonsterLUK

    *Your foe is weakened by the barrage of beaks!
    Your foe manages to avoid the worst of your avian onslaught!

    Appearance: The screen grades darker, before 6 birds in a similar style to the butterflies from the 'Flutterfree' spell in the Prismheart Tome fall from the sky and strike the monster.
    Description: Cast this spell/skill to call forth an all-out assault from some avian allies! They'll strike fast and hard at your enemy's weak points, leaving them defenceless for your next attack!

    Brilhado Seraph

    Example:
    Level: 150
    Power: 4

    Location: The Void
    Monster Lean: Offensive (1.5 Input/Output)
    Element: Light

    Resists:
    Fire: 70%
    Water: 90%
    Wind: 0%
    Ice: 70%
    Earth: 130%
    Energy: 90%
    Light: 0%
    Darkness: 130%
    Healing: -150%

    M/R/M = High MRM Focus, lower HP to compensate

    Stat Distribution:
    STR: 0
    DEX: 0
    INT: 300
    END: 250
    CHA: 0
    LUK: 200

    Effect:
  • This is a two-stage boss fight. In both stages, the boss has Freedom and Form Change Immunity
  • For the duration of the fight, your heal resistance is set to 0%*

    *Your foe mutters an incantation and seals your regeneration! 0% Healing resistance!

  • In addition, for the duration of the fight you are also given access to a temporary spell, “Angel’s Wings”. The version the player gains depends on your stats (If INT > STR or DEX = MP, otherwise SP). When cast (Costs 392 SP/522 MP), the player will gain 3 turns of the “Flying” status, BTH Boost (+15 BTH), and Status resistance.
  • In stage 1, the seraph possesses an Elemental Shield (*0 Earth damage, infinite duration), Soft Damage cap, and Defence Boost (+40 MRM, infinite duration).
  • In this stage, the boss follows the attack pattern:

    Wind -> Light -> Light -> Dark -> Repeat

  • The wind attack is a spell that deals additional damage if the player is not “Flying”, and will also attempt to inflict a permanent Fragile on the player*. However, if the player is "Flying", this attack will entirely fail.

    MonsterLvl vs PlayerLvl
    Major: MonsterINT vs PlayerEND
    Minor: MonsterLUK vs PlayerLUK

    *The aerial bombardment shatters your defences, leaving you in a fragile state!
    You manage to avoid the worst of the aerial onslaught!


  • The Light and Darkness attacks will heal the boss’ HP and MP (MP prioritised) based on the damage dealt. These attacks will deal additional damage if the player is “Flying”, and less damage if the player is not.
  • At 50%, the boss shifts to phase 2. It loses its MRM boost, the Earth element shield, and its soft damage cap. It also shifts to a hyper-offensive monster lean (*2 intake/output) and gains a hard damage cap (plot armour). If the boss has >50% of its max MP at this stage, it will use spend it, but nothing will immediately happen. At any point in subsequent turns the boss exceeds 50% MP, it will spend it in a similar fashion.
  • The pattern of attacks now changes:

    Wind/Light -> Light -> Dark/Wind -> Light -> Repeat

  • Each of the Wind/Light and Dark/Wind attacks can attempt to inflict you with Fragile (same save as above)*

    * Your foe’s attack shatters your defences, leaving you in a fragile state!
    You manage to avoid the worst of the magical attack!


  • Each light attack will recover MP. Now, if you’re “Flying”, these attacks will do less damage.
  • At any point in the two attack cycles above, if the boss has enough SP, it will spend it to use a skill which hits for Light/Dark randomly.
  • Once you take the bosses HP to 0, the boss will deal damage to you equivalent to 25% of your max HP multiplied by the number of times it spent half of its MP:

    1 = 25% of your Max HP
    2 = 50% of your Max HP
    3 = 75% of your Max HP
    4+ = 100% of your Max HP

    This attack cannot be avoided, and will kill you before the boss dies.

    Appearance:
  • The boss itself looks like a hybrid between a Seraph and a Brilhado. Only two of the Seraph’s 6 wings are real. The other four are composed of light magic.
  • For the Wind Spell, the Seraph creates a large tornado.
  • For the Light and Dark attacks, the Seraph Fires attacks similar to the Blackbones laser, the colour dependent on the element of the attack. The Light/Dark attack has both firing at the same time.
  • In the Light/Wind and Dark/Wind attacks, the boss summons a small tornado with yellow/purple colours depending on the attack.

    Description: Brilhado Seraphs are high ranking Brilhado mages that are capable of integrating powerful Light, Dark, and Wind magics with their race’s trademark strategic preference for aerial dominance and creating surface chaos. Their signature mastery over healing also enables them to heal more, and prevents you from healing at all! To help you in this fight, Warlic has granted you a temporary skill that allows you to compete in the air!
