Pandora EX

For the regular version, see Pandora.
Pandora EX is an extra challenge boss monster of Pandora's Gauntlet on The Corrupted Seven challenge board.
== Attacks ==
The element of Pandora EX's attacks depends on which of the Corrupted Seven she is aligned to, and her damage is increased by Impurity while she is not affected by 'Inversion' (see Mechanics).
# Pandora EX slams her scythe on the ground before binding her target with chains.
#* Aligns herself to one of the Corrupted Seven.
#* Attacks for 5 hits of (100 + X)% Magic damage ((500 + 5X)% total) (max 10500%).
#** X is equal to Pandora EX's Impurity.
# Pandora EX spins her scythe and seals her target in a cube.
#* Attacks for 1 hit of (100 + X)% Magic damage (max 2100%) with +300 Bonus and +400 Crit.
#** X is equal to Pandora EX's Impurity.
# Pandora EX spins up her scythe and hurls it at her target.
#* Attacks for 4 hits of (100 + X)% Magic damage ((400 + 4X)% total) (max 8400%).
#** X is equal to Pandora EX's Impurity.
== Rotation ==
* Pandora EX's attack rotation is 1 -> 2 -> 1 -> 3 -> repeat.
* Pandora EX's alignment rotation is Lust -> Envy -> Wrath -> Gluttony -> Sloth -> Pride -> Greed -> repeat.
* Pandora EX's Inversion pseudo-rotation is normally Reversion -> Reversion -> Inversion -> Inversion -> Inversion -> repeat. 
** Stunning Pandora EX during Inversion will still advance the pseudo-rotation (but not her attack or alignment) until Inversion expires.
* Because none of Pandora EX's three rotations have the same number of actions, Pandora EX effectively has a 140-turn rotation.
== Mechanics ==
All of Pandora EX's attacks automatically inflict 'Pressure' for 99 turns, a 66% Evil DoT.
=== Alignment ===
Each time Pandora EX uses Attack 1 (every other turn), she changes her alignment to one of the Corrupted Seven sins in the order of Lust -> Envy -> Wrath -> Gluttony -> Sloth -> Pride -> Greed -> repeat. Each alignment determines her attack element and grants her other special abilities. While above 80% HP, Pandora EX's alignment is displayed by the color of her cube.
* Each alignment/phase is split into turns 1 and 2. Turn 1 is always Attack 1, while turn 2 alternates between Attacks 2 and 3.
* Lust (Fire)
** On turn 1, Pandora EX applies 'Embrace' for 4 turns inclusive.
*** +100 Bonus.
** Pandora EX reflects 75% of all direct damage taken.
* Envy (Poison)
** Pandora EX gains 5 Impurity for each successful hit.
* Wrath (Water)
** If Pandora EX receives a critical hit, she will gain 2 Impurity and regenerate 100% of the damage taken.
*** Critical hit absorbed.
* Gluttony (Wind)
** On turn 1, Pandora purges her target of all status effects except for 'Pressure', 'Stuffed', and permanent effects.
*** Status effects devoured.
** If no status effects were purged, she removes 1 HP potion from her target.
*** HP potion devoured.
** If her target also has no HP potions, she removes 1 MP potion from her target.
*** MP potion devoured.
** If her target also has no MP potions, she gains 50 Impurity.
*** Sustenance required.
* Sloth (Nature)
** Pandora EX heals herself for 10% of her maximum HP each turn she attacks (20% total per rotation).
** Pandora EX records her HP and compares it to the previous turn.
** If Pandora EX's HP has decreased by less than 2X since her previous turn, she gains 50 Impurity.
***Insufficient opposition.
** If Pandora EX's HP has decreased by more than 3X since her previous turn, she gains 50 Impurity.
*** Opposition threshold exceeded.
** X is equal to Pandora EX's level.
** Sloth phase heals are ignored, as she records her HP after they heal her.
** As she specifically checks her HP, any MP damage she takes will be ignored.
** At level 90, Pandora EX gains 50 Impurity unless she takes 180-270 net damage.
* Pride (Null)
** On turn 1, Pandora EX inflicts 'Obey' for 2 turns, a stun.
* Greed (Energy)
** On turn 1, Pandora EX applies 'Spirit Drift' for 3 turns.
*** +180 Melee/Pierce/Magic.
** Pandora EX heals herself for 1x of Impurity for each successful hit. Attack 2 heals her for 4x of Impurity instead.
***Taking back what's mine.
=== Impurity ===
* Pandora EX has an Impurity counter that starts at 0 and caps at 2000. She announces her Impurity counter every turn.
** Impurity at X%.
* Pandora EX permanently gains 1% damage per hit for each stack of Impurity while not affected by 'Inversion'.
* Impurity is gained from the following sources:
** Envy: Pandora EX gains 5 Impurity for each successful hit.
** Wrath: Pandora EX gains 2 Impurity for each critical hit she receives.
** Gluttony: If Pandora EX's target has no statuses or potions at the start of this phase, she gains 50 Impurity.
** Sloth: If Pandora EX receives too little or too much damage since the previous turn, she gains 50 Impurity.
=== Inversion ===
* Pandora EX has an Inversion mechanic that normally activates every 5 turns. She announces when Inversion activates.
** Inversion.
* 'Inversion' is a status effect lasts for 3 turns inclusive.
** There is a visual bug where 'Inversion' is instead listed as 2 turns inclusive on the first turn in Pandora EX's status panel.
* 'Inversion' is applied when Pandora EX has attacked for 2 turns without 'Inversion'.
** Pandora EX telegraphs the last turn of Reversion with an animation where she spins her scythe and powers up.
** By either purging 'Inversion' or stunning Pandora EX while 'Inversion' is active it is possible to "desync" her 'Inversion' cycle from her regular attack rotation.
* While affected by 'Inversion':
** Pandora EX's attacks do not gain damage from Impurity, but she heals herself for 100% of the damage dealt for each successful hit.
** Pandora EX will "invert" any negative modifiers to her stats, turning them into equivalent positive modifiers instead.
*** For each effect inverted, Pandora EX applies a separate 'Inverted X +Y' effect.
**** +Y
**** X is the stat being inverted.
**** Y is twice the value of the original negative effect.
**** If an effect lowers multiple stats at once (such as Dragon Tickles), a separate 'Inverted X +Y' is applied for each stat lowered.
*** The following effects will be inverted:
**** -MPM
**** -BPD
**** -Crit
**** -Bonus
**** -Boost
**** -Resistance
***** Positive Health resistance will not be inverted normally.
****-Stats
** 'Inverted X' effects until 'Inversion' expires, even if the original debuffs expire before 'Inversion' does.
* If Pandora EX has no effects to invert any point during an Inversion phase, she applies 'Inverted Apoptosis' for the remaining duration of 'Inversion', a 5% HoT.
** Pandora EX will also invert +Health when applying 'Inverted Apoptosis'.
** 'Inverted Apoptosis' will not be removed if Pandora EX is debuffed on the following turn.
** Because 'Inverted Apoptosis' is a HoT, Pandora EX does not need to be debuffed for the last turn of 'Inversion', as the HoT applied on the last turn will immediately expire next turn without healing her.
* When 'Inversion' expires or is purged, all 'Inverted X' effects are immediately removed.
** Reversion.
