Stygian Onslaught
Stygian boss guide cards
Radiant Moongecko: Entangled Fangs
Insider's TLDR
Stygian.moe
• Boss will summon a big Geo shield (9 layers, 4U each). Characters with front load geo application like Zhongli will only break it layer by layer. Blunt attack or overload can be used to take down the shield. 70% Geo dmg dealt to the shield and 10% of all other element will be transferred to the boss as self dmg (cap at 40% max HP). After its shield is broken, boss is stunned for a brief period while also lowering its Geo RES to 10%.
• Boss will drain team wide HP and apply a -100% crit debuff while increasing its Geo RES to 70%. Heal to full to recover from this debuff and gain a 15% CR + 50% dmg bonus buff, while lowering its Geo RES to 10%
Boss Trait
Initial State
After the battle begins, the Nemesis leaves a Moonstone Anchor in its place before leaping to higher ground to prepare an attack. Some time later, it unleashes a large and powerful AoE strike. Use methods suited to dealing with Geo to deal damage to the Moonstone Anchor. Destroying it interrupts the skill's charge-up and deals massive DMG to the Nemesis. The more DMG the Moonstone Anchor takes during the preparation phase, the greater the DMG dealt to the Nemesis when the Moonstone Anchor is destroyed. Due to the effects of the Ley Line disturbance, using Geo attacks against the Moonstone Anchor further increases the DMG dealt to the Nemesis.
Shield Mechanic
Due to the effects of the Ley Line disturbance, the Moonstone Anchor's multi-layered Geo Ward becomes more resilient.
Radiant Cocoon
During battle, the Nemesis's Geo RES increases, and they also apply Radiant Cocoon to characters. Characters afflicted by Radiant Cocoon deal less DMG and receive less healing. Afflicted characters break free from the cocoon when their HP is restored to full through healing. Once any character in the party breaks free, the Nemesis loses the Geo RES granted by Radiant Cocoon.
Tenebrous Papilla: Shadow Void Transfiguration
Insider's TLDR
Stygian.moe
• At the start of the battle, creates an Abyssal shield with a 150 hit quota and fav/sac weapons cannot be proc. Use high frequency or Nightsoul attacks to fill up the gauge, damage will be partially transferred.
• Normal Elemental damage counts as +1 to the quota, meanwhile Nightsoul-aligned damage counts as +3
• Once the shield is destroyed, all RES goes to -50% and the boss takes 10% Elemental + 60% Nightsoul-alligned DMG dealt during the shield phase as self-dmg. This damage can't surpass 30% max HP.
Boss Trait
Tenebrous Mimesis
It can warp itself and transform into a formidable foe to attack.
Attrition Assault
Some attacks will inflict the stackable Attrition state, which will cause your own active party member to lose HP after a certain amount of time passes.
Shadow Void Aegis
Due to turbulence in the Ley Lines, the Tenebrous Papilla will deploy a Void Ward while initiating attacks. Perform a certain number of Elemental attacks to break the Ward. Once the Void Ward is broken, the Tenebrous Papilla will receive a single instance of immense DMG based on the DMG absorbed by the Ward and enter a weakened state for an extended period of time. Nightsoul-aligned Elemental attacks are more effective at breaking the Ward and will increase the DMG dealt when the Ward is broken. After being in the weakened state for a while, the Tenebrous Papilla will attempt to re-deploy its Void Ward.
Hatefully Beseech the Dark
Due to turbulence in the Ley Lines, if the Void Ward remains unbroken for too long, the Tenebrous Papilla will initiate Hatefully Beseech the Dark: Enters a charging state, which, if the Void Ward continues to remain unbroken, will conclude with the Tenebrous Papilla unleashing a Wrathful Dark Bombardment, immediately defeating your current active character.
Frostnight Herra: Hatred and Rage
Insider's TLDR
Stygian.moe
• Will enter a special state with 120% RES. To exit this state, fill the gauge with 50 instances of damage, including physical.
• Lunar hits are considered 6 hits while others are considered 1 hit. After the boss exits the state, all RES returns to 10% while infusing and gaining an immunity of the element that dealt the most damage during the special state.
• If the majority of the recorded damage was Lunar or Physical, it wont get any infusion.
Boss Trait
Gloomveiled
Will enter a Gloomveiled state while in combat: All RES is greatly increased. After taking a certain number of DMG instances, it will exit the Gloomveiled state and change its Elemental Type to the element whose DMG it received the most during the time it was Gloomveiled, thereby gaining the corresponding Elemental DMG Immunity and Elemental Effects.
Purest Moonglow
Lunar Reaction DMG is more effective when breaking the Gloomveiled state. If it has taken more Lunar Reaction DMG when it exits the Gloomveiled state, its Elemental Type will change to Elementless, and it will not gain any Elemental DMG Immunity or Elemental Effects.
