Cleansing Shower
Forms an orb within their mouth and launches it at the player. On hit, the orb deals 5% ATK as Cryo DMG or Electro DMG and drains 30 Energy from the active character. If the active character has less than 30 Energy, the rest of the drain is converted to HP Loss. The HP Loss is calculated as: $\begin{align} \text{HP Loss} = {} & ( 17 \% \times \text{Character Max HP} + 600 ) \\ & \times ( 1 - \frac{\text{Remaining Energy}}{30} ) \end{align}$

Strategy

• Dodging the Cleansing Shower orbs or having characters with high Energy Recharge is beneficial for this fight as having low Energy can prove to be fatal if the player cannot dodge their Cleansing Shower attacks.
• The pillars that the Bolteater Vishap jumps onto are Geo Constructs and can be easily destroyed using Blunt Attacks. Alternatively, try to stay far away from the Bolteater Vishap, as the orbs are harder to dodge while up close.

Adventurer Handbook, before unlocking Coral Defenders

A powerful group of Bathysmal Vishaps.
They have been specifically bred and selected by the people of Enkanomiya, which has given them their exceptional strength. Of course, no vishap would consider this some sort of debt to be repaid.
The strongest members of the herd can use different elements, which they wield as a show of their hatred.

Trivia

• Despite being a herd which would consist of numerous members, this challenge only consists of two boss enemies.
  • This also makes it the first normal boss challenge that doesn't consist of a single, unique enemy. The other such challenge, the Dual Maguu Kenki, is only a variant of the Maguu Kenki challenge, and is only found in events and the Spiral Abyss.
• The Coral Defenders were the first Normal Boss with their own battle music, No Turning Back, a remix of Beats of Water Drops.
• The Coral Defenders are the only Normal Boss that lacks an archive entry. Rather, the Bolteater Bathysmal Vishap and Rimebiter Bathysmal Vishap have their own archive entries.
• If the Coral Defenders are killed with one of them in a Critical Assist state, the vishap in that state will simply disappear with no death animation played.
• The walls in the boss fight used for skills such as Assist are considered Geo Constructs.
