Gameplay Notes

  • When Propagation is used:
  • When Swarm Onslaught is used, if there are 1/2/3/4 other True Sting(s) on the field, 4/5/6/7 additional instances of Wind DMG equal to 180% ATK are dealt to a random target before the AoE Attack. Additionally, this ability restores 5 extra Energy for all characters.
  • When fought in Pure Fiction, this boss has only one phase, which uses its Phase 2 moveset but lacks the Propagation ability.
