=Spawn Conditions
- Resting while in possession of a Viridian Demilune Abyssite. Can spawn at (G-6), (G-4), or (I-6).
Traits and Abilities
- Blood Weapon: Used every 2-3 minutes. Gains 100% Triple Attack during this phase, but will not use TP moves. May reset hate on its current target.
- !! Weaknesses cannot be triggered while Usurper is under the effect of Blood Weapon.
- Carousel: Radial AoE damage with Additional Effect: Knockback.
- Material Fend: Evasion boost.
- Promyvion Brume: AoE damage with Additional Effect: Poison.
- Murk: AoE Gravity.
- Brain Spike: Single-target damage with Additional Effect: paralysis.
- Impalement: Deals 95% of the target's current HP. Ignores shadows, but can be evaded, countered, or guarded; Impalement has a very short 'readying' phase. Precautions advised.
- Impalement occasionally deals more than 100% of the target's current HP, making it a one-hit KO move.
- Impalement has a chance of fully resetting hate on the player it hits.
- Possesses enhanced movement speed (12% approx), but paths poorly.
- Possesses a minor Regain effect.
- Occasionally uses 2 TP moves back-to-back. This is especially dangerous if Impalement is followed by Promyvion Brume or Carousel.
- Possesses low accuracy.
- Possesses a high critical hit rate.
- Resistant to magical damage.
- Immune to Gravity and Bind.
- Susceptible to Paralyze, Slow, Blind and Stun. Grows resistant to Stun.
- Evasion tanking highly recommended.
- Dodging and being out of range are the only ways to ensure surviving Impalement, which occasionally deals more than 100% of the target's current HP. Damage Taken equipment and Sentinel's Scherzo will not protect from this attack. Migawari: Ichi currently untested. Having Fan Dance active as dancer will also save you since the dmg reduction bottoms out at 20% straight damage reduction.
