Abilities

During this battle, Varka will be the only character in the team. Items and gadgets cannot be used.
Wolf Slash
Boreas's Shadow raises his front legs and slashes towards his front, dealing 34.98% ATK as Cryo DMG to Varka.
Spinning Slash
Boreas's Shadow creates circular ice surfaces around him before spinning quickly, dealing 49.98% ATK as Cryo DMG (The actual range of slash is wider in front of him than behind him) and generating a Cryo Energy Orb. This attack cannot be dodged using Dash i-frames.
Wolf Leap
Boreas's Shadow jumps into the air and leaps toward the ice circle that appears on the ground, dealing 49.98% ATK as Cryo DMG and generating a Cryo Energy Orb. This attack cannot be dodged using Dash i-frames.
Wolf Charge
After charging, Boreas's Shadow will quickly dash towards Varka, dealing 60% ATK Cryo DMG and leaving an ice trail in his wake.
Icicle Barrage
Boreas's Shadow charges up Cryo energy at the tip of his tail and swings it twice, firing two flurries of icicles that home in at Varka, each dealing 6% ATK as Cryo DMG.
Ice Waves
Boreas's Shadow raises his front legs while creating an ice path in front of him that applies Cryo to characters that stand on it while drastically reducing their Movement Speed. Then releases ice waves on the path, dealing 30% ATK as Cryo DMG.
Cryo Sphere
Boreas's Shadow charges up a sphere of Cryo energy in his mouth, then fires it at Varka, dealing 18% ATK as Cryo DMG.
Wave of Boreal Wind
After charging, Boreas's Shadow stomps the ground, releasing a wave of Cryo all around him, dealing 18% ATK as Cryo DMG. DMG is dealt twice if the player is directly hit by the initial stomp.
Icicle Storm
Boreas's Shadow charges and summons icicles that fall from the sky, dealing 15% ATK as Cryo DMG. The fallen icicles cannot be dodged using Dash i-frames.
Wolf's Hunt
Boreas's Shadow runs in a circle around the map, eventually stopping to Wolf Charge towards Varka, then resume running. This is performed twice before he uses Wolf Leap to relocate to the middle of the arena, then enter his second phase. Triggers when Boreas's Shadow reaches a certain threshold of his HP.
Phase 2
Howls into the air, shooting a Cryo beam into the sky to spawn 3 vortices around the arena which continuously deal 20% ATK as Cryo DMG before each transforming into a floating ice platform. The whole arena becomes shrouded in ice, continuously dealing 5% ATK as Cryo DMG. Boreas's Shadow leaps onto the tallest platform to use Cryo Sphere and Icicle Barrage repeatedly, while gaining a Frozen ward that is weakest to Pyro.

A flame will spawn on each platform. When collected, each flame heals Varka for a certain amount, and after three flames are collected, Varka's next Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst will gain their Pyro effects. The player must use the hold version of Varka's Elemental Skill to leap onto the platforms to collect the flames and eventually reach Boreas's Shadow.

When the ward is broken, the DoT effect clears, and Boreas's Shadow becomes stunned for a period of time. After the stunned period, Boreas's Shadow leaps off the platform and despawns them. After this point in the battle, additional flames will periodically spawn in a random location.
Phase 3
Used immediately after the end of Phase 2. Boreas's Shadow howls into the air, shooting a Cryo beam into the sky to summon a hailstorm that continuously falls from the sky, dealing 20% ATK as Cryo DMG. Then, disappears from the arena and summons the enemy "The Homesick Lone Wolf" which performs Ancestral Spirit upon appearing. The whole arena becomes shrouded in ice, continuously dealing 5% ATK as Cryo DMG. After "The Homesick Lone Wolf" is defeated, the DoT effect clears, and Boreas's Shadow becomes stunned for a period of time.
