Ambuscade/Battlefield Archive/Bozzetto Retributionist

• Bozzetto Retributionist - Dark Knight
• Bozzetto Charger - Monoceros (Alicorn variant)

The fight ends when all foes are defeated.

The Difficulty Setting determines the enemies faced and the cumulative damage thresholds at which the Retributionist enters its 'miasma' or 'boiling over' phases during Charge-Up. The higher the difficulty, the larger the thresholds.

Easy~Very Difficult: Retributionist + Charger

Very Easy: Retributionist

Passive Traits
Retributionist:

• Immune to gravity and dark elemental magic. Finale works to dispel buffs.
• All spells cast are area of effect
• Mewing Lullaby only takes 10% of its current TP^[1]
• As of the September 2022 update, builds a gradual resistance to damage during Blood Weapon.

Charger:

• Permanent Enlight effect
• Double Attack at a very high rate
• 100% Critical hit rate

Abilities Used
Retributionist:^[2]

• Blood Weapon at set health percentages.
• Infernal Bulwark: Applies the following buffs - Haste, Stoneskin, Attack Bonus, Defense Bonus, Magic Attack Bonus, Magic Defense Bonus.
• Noahionto: Powerful AOE damage, possibly proportional to damage taken^[3]. Appears to trigger a strong Intimidation effect to players in front of it.
• Villanous Rebuke: Powerful AOE physical damage + Stun + Knockback
• Charge-Up: Boss enters a unique phase that triggers one of three log messages to appear, signalling the 'mode' the boss is currently in and the next TP move it will use.
  • 'Charging up' message - boss gains a spikes effect that drains TP and gains access to Atramentous Libations.
  • 'Miasma' message - boss gains a spikes effect that drains TP and gains access to Eisenschneider (30' KO). Can be pushed out of this mode by dealing enough damage.
  • 'Boiling over' message - Boss emits a Regain sphere that affects players. Gains access to Nether Castigation, 20' AOE damage proportional to damage received following this log message. Critical damage can be absorbed by Earthen Armor/Scherzo/Migawari effects.^[4]
  • This phase of the fight ends when either Nether Castigation or Eisenschneider has been used.

Charger:

• Scintillant Lance: High front AOE damage. Seems to do drastically increased damage, the mechanics of which are not well understood.
• Rampant Stance: AOE Stun + Physical damage
• Damsel Memento: Restores 5% of max HP
• Grace of Hera: Removes all debuffs, grants a potent Regen effect. While readying, absorbs damage. Favors this move over others if it has been sufficiently debuffed.^[5]
• The September 2022 update further limits the number of times it will perform this move
  • Very Difficult: 3 times
  • Normal - Difficult: twice
  • Easy: once

Spells Cast
Retributionist (All spells affect a large radius AOE):

• Endark II, Aspir II, Bio III, Stun, Absorb-spells, Dread Spikes

• Scintillant Lance can randomly spike for 7~8k damage, but does not appear to be tied to the Retributionist's current HP. Keep your tank's defenses up and mind your positioning at all times.^[6]
• The Dullahan is not particularly resistant to any debuffs that aren't darkness based.
• Low damage elemental nukes or weak physical auto attacks should provide adequate TP gain to push the Retributionist to use Nether Castigation without drastically increasing its damage.
• Eisenschneider's KO can be avoided by reacting with /heal. Causes the move to deal damage instead.^[7]
