Face off against the Bozzetto Bruiser and his allies

The Bruiser has 1322 evasion and ~570K HP on VD.^[1]

Adds have ~200K HP on VD.

Regardless of difficulty, the Bruiser is always present at the start of the battle. When engaged, he will summon helpers of two types:

• Bozzetto Justiciar (PLD), Immune to Silence.
• Bozzetto Sharpshooter (RNG)

Very Easy, Easy and Normal: Upon engaging the Bruiser, he will summon two allies

• Bozetto Justiciar (PLD) x1
• Bozetto Sharpshooter (RNG) x1

Difficult: Upon engaging the Bruiser, he will summon four allies

• Bozetto Justiciar (PLD) x2
• Bozetto Sharpshooter (RNG) x2

Very Difficult: A dahak ally Zahhak is present at the start of the fight. Upon engaging the Bruiser, he will summon four allies

• Bozetto Justiciar (PLD) x2
• Bozetto Sharpshooter (RNG) x2

Approximately 15 seconds after damaging any single Troll, all Trolls will receive an aura that grants them a potent (-80% on VD) damage taken reduction bonus and regen effect, as well as unlocking the use of Pleiades Ray and Super Speed by the Bruiser. This aura can be removed by performing physical weaponskills to the Sharpshooters and magical weaponskills to the Justiciar. Once the aura is removed from all the adds, it is removed from the Bruiser. The aura will reappear 15 seconds after it has been removed.^[2] If adds are killed before the Bruiser is defeated, the aura cannot be dispelled from the Bruiser.^[3]. The small adds have no way of gaining the aura if the Bruiser is dead. The aura cannot be removed by weapon skills considered typeless magical damage, such as Atonement, Spirits Within or Requiescat.

The common strategy employs the following kill order: Zahak > Bruiser > Everything Else. With the enemies grouped up in front of the tank, Area of Effect Weapon Skills are effective at removing the aura without melee needing to switch targets.
