Eletion Glider
Election Glider is the fire boss of Zone Electio.
- Wiki Link
- P-Type HP: 200,000,000
- Non-P HP: 500,000,000
Glider has two main special attacks. Labrys deals fire damage to 4 allies and inflicts burn as well as gaining 3 turns of DA and TA Up. This can be canceled with 30 hits each turn. Early game this will be a harder one to cancel but later on especially with Poseidon
it is easy. The other special attack is Insania which deals fire damage to all allies and inflicts blinded, ATK down, and DATA down. This one is harder to cancel due to needing Glaciate or Coldcage to cancel. The more reliable options for this are Gabriel
, Europa
, Filene
, Erin (SSR)
or Cupitan
.
The P-Type version casts Labrys at 75% and Insania at 50%. At 25% it casts another special attack calle Obscura. This one deals plain damage worth 70% of current HP to all allies. It needs a fated chain to cancel. This can only semi-reliably be canceled in CA setups.
The Non P-Type version casts a stronger version of Labrys as a join trigger but without the DATA buffs. The damage is not AoE and is instead seperate damage instancts on all allies. This means it can be countered by the mirror image from Valor’s Guidebook
Grants Bonus DMG effect and more.
.
The triggers for this version are Labrys at 85% and 35%, Insania at 65% and 20%, and Obscura at 50% and 10%.

Faymian Gun
Faymian Gun is the water boss of Zone Faymian.
- Wiki Link
- P-Type HP: 200,000,000
- Non-P HP: 500,000,000
Gun has two main special attacks. Blazing Field deals fire damage to all allies and inflicts burn as well as gaining ATK Up. The cancel for this is landing a skill that increases max charge diamonds. This is incredibly unreliable in reliable and will require being tanked. The other special attack is Lightning Surge which deals 9 hits of light damage to random allies and inflicts paralyzed and shorted to a single ally. This one requires 30 hits to cancel which would be trivial for most auto focused setups while impossible for CA ones.
The P-Type version casts Blazing Field at 75% and Lightning Surge at 50%. At 25% is casts another special attack calle Iron Canon. This one deals 20k plain damage to all allies. It needs a fated chain to cancel. This can only semi-reliably be canceled in CA setups.
The Non P-Type version casts a different version of Iron Canon as a join trigger. It deals static 1k damage and inflicts ATK down, DEF down, and DATA down on allies who take damage. The shield from Fortitude’s Guidebook

Goliath Triune
Goliath Triune is the Earth boss of Zone Goliath.
- Wiki Link
- P-Type HP: 200,000,000
- Non-P HP: 500,000,000
Triune has two main special attacks. Demolition deals 5 hits of Earth damage to random allies and gains ATK Up and Echoes for 3 turns. The cancel for this is dealing 3.5m skill damage. This is very trivial with Manadiver but before unlocking that Relic Buster with gun mainhand or characters with skill nukes every turn like Grimnir (Valentine)
or Meteon (Holiday)
can be used. The other special attack is Descorrer which deals a large amount of earth damage to a single ally and it gains DA and TA buffs. This one requires landing Wind DEF down to cancel. This one is pretty unreliably to cancel in FA and even with characters who posses Wind DEF down this will likely still need to be tanked.
The P-Type version casts Demolition at 75% and Descorrer at 50%. At 25% is casts another special attack calle Sinister Rafaga. It deals 18 hits of 1.5k static earth damage to random allies and requires a fated chain to cancel. This one is generally pretty difficult to deal with both due to the high damage as well as the cancel being difficult for wind. Static damage bypasses DEF up as well so in order to reduce the damage other forms of damage reduction need to be used like damage cuts.
The Non P-Type version casts an alterated version fo Sinister Rafaga It still deals the 18 hits of 5k static earth damage but also cuts buff durations by 1 for each hit that lands on an ally as well as gaining perm and unremovable debuff resistance up. There isn’t a guidebook that directly prevents this but two can help deal with it. Insight’s Guidebook
Improves debuff resistance and success rate.
is the good to option for lower HP pools to auto revive anyone who dies from the entry. The other main option is using Sanctum’s Guidebook
Greatly improves battle longevity.
for its 3k DMG mitigation reducing the trigger to 18 hits of 2k damage instead. With large HP pools, the entry trigger can be tanked without needing to counter it..
The triggers for this version are Demolition at 85% and 35%, Descorrer at 65% and 20%, and Sinister Rafaga at 50% and 10%.

Harbinger Stormer is the wind boss of Zone Harbinger.
- Wiki Link
- P-Type HP: 200,000,000
- Non-P HP: 500,000,000
Triune has two main special attacks. Plasma Emission deals 15 hits of Wind damage to random allies and inflicting paralyzed on one ally. The cancel for this is a buff removal effect. It does not need to actually removal a buff. While fire does have a lot of dispel access, being able to cancel this omen is generally unreliable with Zeta (Grand)
or Fraux FLB
who has been swapped in. The other special attack is Ruinous Slam which deals a 3 hits of wind damage to all allies as well as inflicting Strong Armed and Stunned. This omen is cancelled with 3.5m skill damage. This one is pretty to do with access to Manadiver which can clear it by itself. Otherwise, fire has access to several nukes on normal attacks characters like Anderson
or Wilnas
that can be used.
The P-Type version casts Plasma Emission at 75% and Reinous Slam at 50%. At 25% is casts another special attack called Positron Cannon. It wind damge to allies and inflicts skill and CA sealed. It needs a fated chain to cancel. Tanking this one is pretty doable especially with veil.
The Non P-Type version casts Positron Cannon on entry. This is easily prevented with the veil from Ferocity’s Guidebook
Improves multiattack rate and survivability.

The triggers for this version are Plasma Emission at 85% and 35%, Ruinous Slam at 65% and 20%, and Positron Cannon at 50% and 10%.
