== Rotation==
* Etaos's attack rotation is 1 -> B -> 5 -> B -> 6 -> B -> 7 -> B -> 8 -> repeat.
* On turns labeled B, Etaos sequentially uses Attack 2/3/4, repeating the same attack if no hits connect.
* If Etaos is below 50% of his maximum HP (5446), he will pause his rotation to use Attack 9 (limit 2).
* If Paranoia reaches 25, Etaos will pause his rotation to use Attack 10.
==Mechanics==
=== Paranoia ===
* Each time Etaos uses any attack except 9 and 10, gains 5 Paranoia, increasing his Crit by that amount.
* Each turn, applies 'Unseen' for 99 turns.
**Bonus +10X.
***On the turn following Attack 9 or 10, X increases by 1.
=== Shaken ===
If Etaos takes direct damage while stunned:
* All stuns are purged, and are replaced by 'Etaos Shaken', a 1 turn stun.
** Etaos manages to shake off some of your stun.
* In addition, Etaos applies 'Illusion Shifter' for 99 turns inclusive.
** +300 Immobility.

Nirios appears alongside Etaos, applying a buff on the first turn, and every 4 turns afterwards, including when Etaos is stunned.
*'Analysis' for 4 turns inclusive.
**Increases crit modifier by 0.75x. 
**Nirios: 'I see an opening.' 
*'On Guard' for 4 turns inclusive.
**Melee/Pierce/Magic +40. 
**Nirios: 'Watch yourself, Etaos!' 
Nirios's buff rotation is A/B -> nothing x3 -> B/A -> nothing x3 -> repeat.
* If Etaos does not receive a hit on the first turn, Nirios will use Analysis, otherwise On Guard, and will alternate.
Each time Etaos loses 20% of his maximum HP, Nirios will cast a blessing to increase the power of Attack 10, and can do so multiple times in sequence.
*Nirios: 'We'll do this together, brother!'
**Increases Nirios' Focus by 10. 
*Nirios' Focus does not affect the cooldown for his buff rotation.

** 80% HP (8713)
