Enemy description

Born from the heart of an awakened Feranmut. A thousand years twisted into shadow. The executors of Sui are never alone, for fear is always by their side; to wait in the boundless chaos, or thread the needle in search for a shred of enlightenment?

Overview

A faceless yet ferocious giant Fabrication made by Ji representing the wrath of Sui, the Slumbering of Sui initially proves to be a terrifying foe with enormously high stats in every regard, making it extremely difficult to take in a straight battle. However, the Slumbering also has multiple vulnerabilities that allow Operators to lower its combat capabilities to a more reasonable level, yet its abilities designed to exploit and spread Blight across Farmlands can make things complicated.

• The Slumbering starts in the Chaos form with the following traits:
  • Uses a melee attack.
  • Every time the Slumbering takes 3 instances of damage (4 at Level 1), it will molt, losing 30 ATK, 50 DEF (40 at Level 2), and 1 RES, but gaining 0.01 MSPD and increasing the Blight of a random Farmland within 1 tile by 4; every 10 molts also reduces the Slumbering's weight by 1. The Slumbering can molt up to 80 times, by which point it would be left with 600 ATK (1600 at Level 1 and 2), 0 DEF and RES (800 DEF and 0 RES at Level 2), and a weight of 2.
• When the Slumbering's HP is reduced to 0 for the first time, it will survive and revive itself by fully restoring its HP over 40 seconds, during which it is invulnerable and disabled. While reviving, the Slumbering will summon 2 Filths every 5 seconds and 1 Scum every 15 seconds.
  • At Level 1, the Slumbering summons 2 Banished Consumptions every 8 seconds and 1 Accursed Scum every 20 seconds.
  • At Level 2, the Slumbering summons 2 Expelled Filths every 5 seconds and 1 Accursed Scum every 15 seconds.
• After reviving, the Slumbering turns into the draconian/serpentine Enlightened form, losing the traits of its Chaos form and gaining the following traits:
  • Invulnerable for 5 seconds.
  • Immune to Stun, Sleep, Freeze, Bind, and Levitate.
  • ATK, DEF, and RES reduced by 60%, 70%, and 30, respectively.
  • MSPD tripled.
  • If the Slumbering is in a Farmland with 0 Blight or in the range of a Pumping Station pumping clean water, its DEF and RES are additionally reduced by 20% (15% at Level 1) and 30 respectively, and it loses its MSPD increase.
  • Uses a ranged attack with a range of 1 tiles which hits twice in succession.
  • Friendly units that damage the Slumbering will be marked by a red aura; if a marked target leaves the map, the Farmland they are on will have its Blight increased by 50.
  • As Needlework: Should the Farmland where the Slumbering is on accumulate 100 Blight (displayed as a purple bar beneath its health bar), it drains 20 Blight from the Farmland every second for 5 seconds before creating a red spear and launching it towards the most recently deployed friendly unit, targeting marked ones over the others, dealing Arts damage equal to 2.5× its ATK (3.75× at Level 2). If the Slumbering creates a spear but no longer has a valid target, it can hold on to the spear and instantly launch it when a target appears.
