An Emperor's Blade who bears the name "Emperor's Blade", Pursuer is the main boss of A Walk in the Dust.

Enemy description

He once ravaged the demons of the Northern Tundra, segregating the outsiders beyond the reach of civilization; His blade shies not from royals nor nobles, safeguarding glory from the dusts of rebellion. Every Royal Guard is as a dominion; the land beneath their feet is all the territory of Ursus.

Overview

“	Whenever a certain percentage of HP is lost, unleashes permanent terrain effect "Dominion"; Casts Arts "Collapsing Fear", instantly defeating units within "Dominion".	”
	—Tooltip

As the first of the Emperor's Blades that can be fought, the Pursuer makes up for his surprisingly middling stats with a variety of extremely potent abilities that both help the Pursuer mitigate incoming damage and deliver devastating blows to an unprepared defensive lineup.

Ability	Initial CD	Cooldown
After the Pursuer leaves the map, the ASPD reduction of Dominions will affect enemies as well as friendly units.	Passive
First Form
When 50% of maximum HP is lost, create Dominions over the area shown below, centered on the friendly unit who has dealt the most damage towards the Pursuer before he uses this ability (prioritizing units outside Dominions), after a delay of 1.45 seconds. When the Dominions appear, friendly units within a radius of 1.8 centered on the target take Arts damage equal to the Pursuer's ATK. If the unit that would be targeted by this ability is invisible, camouflaged, or already inside a Dominion, the Pursuer will target another one (prioritizing those outside Dominions) instead. If the target leaves the map while the Pursuer is using this ability, the Dominions will appear centered on his position instead. 　　□　　 　□□□　 □□■□□ 　□□□　 　　□	–
Reduces Physical and Arts damage taken while inside a Dominion by 50% (indicated by a dark barrier surrounding the Pursuer).	Passive
Collapsing Fear Releases a dark wave that deals Arts damage equal to the Pursuer's ATK towards nearby friendly units within a radius of 2; units inside Dominions will be instantly defeated instead.	20 seconds
Uses a Collapsing Fear that hits all friendly units on the map when defeated in the First Form and revives over 7.2 seconds, then enters the Second Form.	–
Second Form
Invulnerable for 10 seconds (indicated by a grayish aura surrounding the Pursuer). ATK increased by 50%. When blocked, uses a melee saber attack with 250% ATK. The Pursuer now creates Dominions whenever 25% of maximum HP is lost. The radius of Collapsing Fear is increased to 2.5.	Second Form traits
