Shiryoshu No Sai

Shiryoshu No Sai is the fourth boss of the Tears of Rain instance.
==Background==
===Dungeon Guide===
Shiryoshu No Sai was one of the earliest, most renowned protectors of the Sai Dynasty, serving under Jin No Sai himself, the first of the legendary Tetsujin. After he fell in battle during the wars of the Old Ones, his spirit was taken to the Tears of Rain and utilized there to serve as protector of the vaults. His temper is the only thing that matches his loyalty to the defense of the prize.
===Encounter Design===
Shiryoshu is a three phase fight that uses the powers of the Kai'xan pools to increase his abilities, as well as provide him with the energies he expels from his battle glaive. On harder difficulties his glaives have a strange ability to affect more than one target... beware.
===Overview===
Shiryoshu is a large tank and spank fight, but involve several environmental dangers during his phase transitions. He becomes a large threat against tanks due to the passive abilities he bestows upon them, which require a large check at all times. Due to his ancient power, his essence floods the room with power, which means the modifiers must also be in check before the raid is overwhelmed.
*On Master difficulty and above, Shiryoshu's special attacks deal raidwide damage instead of just to the tank, requiring a tougher healing check. In addition, he radiates power around him, dealing damage per second, threatening melee users. 
*On Rising difficulty, in addition to Shattered Resolve, he inflicts Weakened Will on the target tank, and Shattered Resolve also hits off tanks around him. The Kai'Xan pools also cannot be used for empowerment, as Xin has infested the pools in his room. Shiryoshu's after-effects of his special attacks occur besides the raid wide damage. Lastly, the statues are active on Rising, and must be destroyed to increase chances of survival.
