Brand of the Abyssal Flame
Media:Pyro Lector Brand of the Abyssal Flame.ogv	Description When certain attacks by the Abyss Lector deal DMG to the player, they will apply the Brand of the Abyssal Flame status to the player. Shortly after being applied, the Brand of Abyssal Flame expires, causing the entire party to lose HP. Although shields and dash i-frames can stop the status from being applied, they cannot negate the DMG dealt once it has already been applied. The on-field character can negate this DMG to themselves using Elemental Burst i-frames, but off-field characters will be damaged regardless. Off-field characters will not be damaged below 15% Max HP by this ability. The HP Loss dealt by the Brand of the Abyssal Flame is calculated as: ${\text{HP Loss}}=0.2\times {\text{ATK}}_{\text{Abyss Lector}}+0.15\times {\text{Max HP}}_{\text{Character}}$

Ability Logic

See also: Cooldown § Enemy Cooldowns

An ability will only be used if they meet all of the following conditions:
- The ability is not on cooldown
- The target is within the range required by the ability
- The ability has the highest priority out of all that meet the previous 2 conditions
  - A lower priority number indicates a higher priority.
  - If multiple abilities share the highest priority, one will be chosen at random.
Certain abilities with extra trigger conditions may defy regular ability logic.

Ability	Range Req. (m)	Priority	CD (s)	Initial CD (s)	Action Interval (s)	Triggers Act. Int.	State Req.

Solar Orb	0–20	5	10–12	—		✔	—

Darkfire Meteor	0–20	1	40–50	15		✘	Shielded

Strategies

These Pyro Lectors are not particularly dangerous while shielded, although their ability to deal True DMG to the entire party means that the player should avoid their attacks as much as possible to avoid unnecessary damage unless shielded or evaded.

Upon reaching critical health, the Lector will activate a Pyro shield that permanently applies said status onto them, opening them up to more consistent elemental reactions but also enhances their attacks. It is highly recommended to use Hydro as it deals the most damage to the shield. Almost always immediately after activating their shield, the Lector will drop a Darkfire Furnace. It is highly recommended to destroy these before they expire themselves as doing so will remove ~15-20% of the Lector's shield. As with the shield they apply onto themselves, Hydro is most effective against the furnace.

Once the Lector's shield breaks, they are automatically defeated.
