Enemy description

The host of the Grand Drama, its mind is completely taken up by its dazzling Arts. The moment it abandoned the Witch King, its curse was deeply etched into the betrayer's spirit. Even so, who cares?

Overview

“	The host of the Grand Drama. Permanently invulnerable. Controls "Host's Assistants" in combat. Loses HP whenever a "Host's Assistant" is killed.	”
	—Tooltip

The Troupe Mouthpiece is unique in the sense that he is always invulnerable, and thus cannot be directly attacked in any way. Instead, the player must work around his unique gimmick to defeat the Mouthpiece, while also getting past his very high ATK and special abilities.

• The Mouthpiece's attacks can hit up to two targets within range simultaneously and inflicts Nervous Impairment equal to 20% of his ATK.
• 10 seconds after he spawns and every 45 seconds afterwards, the Mouthpiece deploys several Host's Assistants on any of the 10 designated tiles, which reduces the ATK of friendly units in the surrounding tiles by 30% and constantly deals True damage towards them until destroyed, at which the Mouthpiece loses 10% of his maximum HP; this is the only way to deplete his HP.
  • If all 10 Assistants are deployed, the Mouthpiece will still deploy them, but the new one(s) will replace the old one(s).
• When the Mouthpiece's HP is reduced to 0 for the first time (by destroying 10 Host's Assistants), he will survive and fully restore his HP over the course of 10 seconds, during which he is disabled; all Assistants present will also disappear when the Mouthpiece starts reviving. After he revives, all 10 Host's Assistants will be deployed simultaneously and they are also invulnerable for 10 seconds after deployment, but the Mouthpiece loses the ability to manually deploy them.

The Mouthpiece will deduct no less than 30 Life Points if he manages to enter a Protection Objective, which will cause the player to instantly fail the run unless they have at least 31 when this happens!
