Fusion-type Fiend

Description

Fusion-type Fiend is one of the four Advancing Fiend Units during Fiend War. It is a new-type of Cosmofiend consisting of multiple Fiends of different types.

Move Set

Magic Mode: During the beginning of Fusion Fiend's fight, he'll push back players in close-range as he transforms into one of four possible modes and uses two different types of magic. He can also keep changing into a different mode throughout the fight.
Red Magic:
- Meteorite Fall: He'll launch down six meteorites at players, leaving him in a counter damage state.
- Flamethrower: Fusion Fiend shoots out a flame in front of him, also opening him up to counter damage.

Blue Magic:
- Lightning Clouds: Fiend summons a cloud that keeps shooting lightning bolts at targeted players.
- Ice Storms: Fiend summons two ice cyclones that will target two players and move towards them. These cyclones inflict Frozen (Status) if anyone is nearby them.

Purple Magic:
- Cursed Totem Fall: Fiend starts dropping purple totems over the whole room. If players are nearby the totems, they’ll have Slow (Status) applied on them.
- Shield: Fiend casts a shield on himself and becomes invulnerable for a short period of time.

Green Magic:
- Plant Roots: Fiend summons many plant roots that, upon reaching players will Bind (Status) them on the same spot for a short period of time.
- Aukuso Summon: Fiend summons Contract: Hellflower Aukuso that targets the nearest players and deals moderate damage to them.

Berserk
- Fiend Madness: If Fusion Fiend's berserk gauge rises due to overuse of holds, he'll become invulnerable and launch the strongest patterns of each type, then change modes and become vulnerable again. (Meteorite Fall + Ice Storm + Cursed Totems + Aukuso)

Strategy

Fusion-type Fiend is the toughest of the Advancing Fiend Units except for Superalloy Alligare due to his multiple modes and annoying attack patterns.
Use Toy of Sparkling Worlds to negate Frozen (Status) or Slow (Status).
If you're targeted by Lightning Cloud, keep it away from party members to avoid casualties.
Avoid over-holding Fiend to prevent his berserk phase.
Destroy the Aukuso Flowers when they spawn.
Like any other boss that has a counter damage phase, have the Crusader/Enchantress deploy Apocalypse/ Crux of Victoria/ Marionette right away and dispatch of Fiend.
