Enemy description

A monster drawn by Dusk. It has a commanding presence and chilling arrogance, as though taking a page out of its master's book. "The virid beasts. Like range on range. Eleven told. In moon, smoke-flow."

Overview

“	A monster painted by Dusk. "Weft and Warp": shift Hui and Ming of allies. "Break the Chains": If the shield is not yet broken, deal massive ranged damage.	”
	—Tooltip

An ominous and unforgiving draconic Ink Spirit reflecting Dusk's hubris, Free is very durable, boasting sheer HP and defenses to back up its respectable ranged Arts attacks, and several tricks up its sleeve to make it more dangerous.

Ability	Initial CD	Cooldown
Hui and Ming Initially has either the Hui or Ming attribute (varies with the operation). Increases damage dealt against units with an opposing attribute to 140%. Reduces damage dealt against units with a matching attribute to 60%.	Innate
First Form
Weft and Warp An ink burst that targets the closest friendly unit from Free's position which will be marked by an ink swirl until Free leaves the map, dealing Arts damage equal to its ATK to the target and units in the 2 adjacent 4 tiles to the target, and switches the attribute of Marks of Hui and Ming caught in its wake.	15 sec.	30 sec.
Break the Chains Free gains a Barrier that absorbs 7500 (Lv0)/10500 (Lv1) Physical and Arts damage, and makes it cannot be shifted, but stops it from moving and attacking for 15 (Lv0)/10 (Lv1) seconds; if the Barrier is not destroyed in this period, Free will release a burst that deals Arts damage equal to 600% of its ATK to nearby friendly units within a radius of 3. Only used if at least one friendly unit is within the burst radius.	30 sec.	70 sec.
Revives over 5 seconds when defeated in the First Form and enters the Second Form.	–
Second Form
Invulnerable for 10 seconds (indicated by a yellow aura surrounding Free). Attribute switched. ATK increased by 5%. Attacks now can hit up to two targets within range or hits twice if there is only one target. Weft and Warp now targets the closest and furthest friendly unit from Free's position simultaneously. The damage absorption of Break the Chains' Barrier is increased to 9000 (Lv0)/12000 (Lv1), the burst damage is increased to 800% of Free's ATK, and the ability's initial cooldown is increased to 40 (Lv0)/60 (Lv1) seconds.
