SS Rank

• Dragon Blood: Receives 50% less Physical DMG.
• Adaptive Form: At low HP, Benares changes its form based on the type of Elemental DMG it has received and gains 70% DMG Reduction on said Element (Default: Lightning Form; example: if Benares takes much more Fire DMG than other types of DMG, it will turn into Fire Form; if it has taken similar amounts of DMG from multiple Elements, then the form change will be randomized between said Elements.)
• Dragon's Descent: At very low HP, Benares assumes Wyrm Form, during which its skills are greatly enhanced and it gains immunity against Time Fracture.

SSS Rank

• Elemental Dragon: Benares has 3 separate Fire, Lightning, and Ice activation states. While in those states, it receives more Fire, Lightning, and Ice DMG respectively. Taking Elemental DMG only reduces the activity value of respective elements. When the activity value of an element drops to 0, Benares will lose the activation state of that element for some time.
• Sweeping Breath: Benares concentrates energy in its mouth, then fires it while rotating.
• Flying Pounce: Benares pounces on enemies, then pounds the ground and sends out a shockwave.
• Thrashing Tail: Benares flaps its wings and thrashes its tail to attack the enemies behind it.
• Rampaging Elements: During a phase change, Benares will summon elemental crystals of ice, fire, and lightning. Break them within the time limit to increase their maximum activity value. Benares will also attack with fire balls and lightning balls in the air, before landing and create an icicle zone that spreads out.
• Elemental Fusion: Benares leaps back and concentrates the power of the three elements into a ball, then rams into it and causes a huge explosion.
• Ice and Fire: Benares pounds the ground 4 times in a row. The first 3 poundings are accompanied by a frost attack, while the 4th pounding creates a black hole on the ground that quickly sucks enemies in. When the black hole expires, it leaves a fire pillar to attack enemies.
• Freezing Breath: Benares concentrates energy in its mouth, then fires it forward.
• Frost Missiles: Benares bites into enemies, then thrashes its tail and shoots 3 icicles.
• Meteor Fall: Benares roars and creates a meteor that strikes the area in front of it.
