In battle, the Perpetual Mechanical Array will enter the Absolute Defense state, in which it splits and summons several different kinds of Ruin Sentinels. After defeating the enhanced Ruin Sentinels, Absolute Defense state will be removed and it will enter a weakened state.

Perpetual Mechanical Array

A Qucusaurus whose extraordinary form is a result of being unable to withstand the great power it has been granted. It will fly into the air during combat and enter the "Golden Flame" energy-gathering form, creating a shield around itself and launching a Flamewind Feather towards the ground that summons a flamewind. If you cannot destroy the Flamewind Feather before the Qucusaurus dives down into it, the creature will use a Phlogiston Current to return to the skies. This will persist until it is exhausted and returns to its original form. It seems, then, that destroying the Flamewind Feather using Elements that react with Pyro may be the key to victory...
