This article is about the Archive entry. For the Memorial Arena enemy, see Hephaestus (Memorial Arena).
Intro
Schicksal ArchivesAn airport defense mech developed by Dr. Tesla after the Schicksal Battle, capable of military-grade destruction under the civil defense facade.
This one feels different than the other AE mechs. How do I put it... I can see the overflow of the designer's short fuse and destructive desire at the first glance.
Tactical Lab
Probably because this model was based on our Aesir Baldr.

Strategies
No strategies needed.
Skills
Disruptor
Releases a destructible disruptor. No switching can be performed in the AOE.
ELFs will prioritize disruptors.
Slashes & Iaido
Slashes the target twice and then performs a two-hand iaido strike.
Try to Ultimate Evade the last iaido strikes to interrupt Hephaestus for as long as possible.
Slashes & Thrust
Slashes at the target twice and performs a thrust strike. If the target fails to interrupt the strike, the Boss will launch a Crushing Slam and generatesgenerates a conductive area (will turn into a burning zone after the energy burst).
Try to Ultimate Evade the thrust and interrupt Hephaestus' follow-up Crushing Slam.
Fang Strike Combo
Launches heavy thrust attacks towards the target in the distance, and switches to Spinning Slash as follow-up.
Spinning Slash Combo
Charges and dashes towards the target with Spinning Slash, followed by Spiral Sweep that leaves a delayed ring-shaped hitbox.
After the Spiral Sweep, it's safer to stay close to Hephaestus and avoid drastic movements.
Laser Cannon
Binds the dual swords together to launch a laser beam towards the target in the distance and closes in with Spinning Slash.
Heavy Combo
Binds the dual swords together for multiple forward slashes and leaps forward to thrust the sword into the ground dealing AOE damage.
Crushing Slam
Leaps at the target and performs downward thrust.
Missile Strike
Summon multiple missiles while airborne to strike target areas.
Sweep
The dual swords emit laser beams to perform a 360-degree sweep, detonating disruptors on the field and summoning missiles for air strikeair strike.
Pay attention to the detonation order of missiles and disruptors and maneuver yourself away from the impact radius.
Hephaestus is an enemy in Honkai Impact 3rd.
