* Weak point is only exposed when airborne.
==Abilities==
Most ability names are unofficial.
===AI Logic===
* An ability will only be used if all of the following conditions have been met:
** The ability is not on cooldown
** The target is within the range and angle required by the ability
** The ability has the highest priority out of all that meet the previous 2 conditions
*** A lower priority number indicates a higher priority.
*** If multiple abilities share the highest priority, one will be chosen at random.

==Locations==
Ruin Hunter locations can be pinpointed on the map by using the Adventurer Handbook.
==Strategy==
Ruin Hunters are significantly faster and pack a stronger punch compared to Ruin Guards. To make up for this, they possess lower physical resistance, but it is still recommended to use elemental attacks against them. Note that while they are hovering on the ground, they cannot be disabled at all.
If too much time has passed or the player is at a higher elevation than it on ground level, the Ruin Hunter will enter Bombardment mode. This includes being airborne (e.g., Venti's held Skyward Sonnet or Wanderer entering the Windfavored state from Hanega: Song of the Wind), jumping with increased jump height (e.g. Xiao while under the effects of Bane of All Evil), gliding, climbing, or being on drastically higher ground (or a Geo Construct). In this state, the Ruin Hunter's eye will glow brightly, turning it into a weak spot. Because it flies up even higher in this state, Bow and Catalyst users are the only ones capable of consistently damaging it. The Ruin Hunter remains in this state unless struck in the eye or it uses its Quad Lasers attack, the latter signifying the end of Bombardment Mode.
Only one successful strike on the glowing eye is needed to bring it crashing down — a follow-up hit is not required as with the Ruin Guards. The Ruin Hunter will be disabled in a manner similar to Ruin Guards, but no protective rune appears after it recovers, meaning that Bombardment Mode can be abused to greatly weaken its offense.
When the Ruin Hunter is preparing to use its move Blade Slash, be aware that it only strikes at the last moment because it is aiming for a target, which means it can be dashed through easily. Drill Slash is particularly dangerous and must be dodged as it deals very high, if not outright fatal damage.
Ruin Hunters can be Frozen, so permafreeze teams that can repeatedly apply Frozen can be very effective.
