== Rotation ==
The Red Dragon's rotation depends on whether it is shifted towards Nature and Stone, as well as whether it is enraged.
* Nature: 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 1 -> 4 > 5 -> Stone rotation.
* Stone: 6 -> 7 -> 8 -> 6 -> 9 -> 10 > Nature rotation.
* Nature (Enraged): 1 -> 12 -> 3 -> 1 -> 4 -> 13 -> repeat. 
* Stone (Enraged): 6 -> 14 -> 8 -> 6 -> 9 -> 15 -> repeat.
== Mechanics ==
=== Earthen Body / Earthen Frenzy / Earthen Weight ===
* Red Dragon automatically applies 'Earthen Body' for 99 turns at the start of the fight.
** Red Dragon: 'A NEW MORSEL ENTERS MY DOMAIN!' 
** Dealing Nature or Stone damage to the Red Dragon influences its rotation during the fight.
* If the Red Dragon is hit by at least one Nature attack and has not already shifted this turn, it shifts towards Nature.
** The Red Dragon grows more frenzied and more active after absorbing the Nature element attack.
*** If it has any stacks of Stone, 1 stack of Stone is removed.
*** Otherwise, 1 stack of Nature is added, to a max of 5.
* If the Red Dragon is hit by at least one Stone attack and has not already shifted this turn, it shifts towards Stone.
** The Red Dragon becomes more solid after absorbing the Stone element attack.
*** If it has any stacks of Nature, 1 stack of Nature is removed. 
*** Otherwise, 1 stack of Stone is added, to a max of 5.
* If there are no stacks, or Nature stacks > 1, the Red Dragon performs its Nature rotation.
* If Stone stacks > 1, the Red Dragon performs its Stone rotation.
** If the Red Dragon shifts between Nature/Stone, it will continue its new rotation without interruption (i.e. if it shifts from Nature to Stone, it uses the next corresponding attack from the Stone rotation.)
* While the Red Dragon is shifted towards Nature, 'Earthen Body' is removed and 'Earthen Frenzy' is applied for 99 turns.
** +20X Boost.
** -2X All.
** +2X Health.
** +30X Melee/Pierce/Magic.
** X is equal to the number of Nature stacks it has, to a max of 5.
* While the Red Dragon is shifted towards Stone, 'Earthen Body' is removed and 'Earthen Weight' is applied for 99 turns.
** +20X Boost.
** +15X All.
** -15X Health.
** -10X Melee/Pierce/Magic.
** X is equal to the number of Stone stacks it has, to a max of 5.
* When using Attacks 5 and 10, the Red Dragon maintains the same number of stacks that it previously had (i.e. if it had 4 Nature stacks before using Attack 5, it will have 4 Stone stacks afterwards).
=== Dragon's Rage ===
* The Red Dragon has a Rage meter that starts at 0 and increases every turn (even if stunned), which caps at 30.
** If 'Earthen Body' is active, it gains 10 Rage.
** If 'Earthen Weight' or 'Earthen Frenzy' are active, it instead gains 6 - X Rage, where X is equal to the number of Stone or Nature stacks it has.
** On the turn that Rage becomes 30, the Red Dragon pauses its rotation to use Attack 11.
=== Enrage ===
* The Red Dragon enrages if its HP drops below 30% (4518).
** Dragon's Rage no longer applies.
** If 'Earthen Body' or 'Earthen Frenzy' is active: 
*** The Red Dragon becomes irrevocably frenzied in it's desperation!	
*** Red Dragon: 'FOOD! FOOD CONSUME!'
*** Nature stacks are permanently set to 5, and the Red Dragon transitions into the Nature (Enraged) rotation.
** If 'Earthen Weight' is active:
*** The Red Dragon becomes irrevocably solid in it's desperation!
*** Red Dragon: 'NO ONE, NOTHING TO STOP ME!'
*** Stone stacks are permanently set to 5, and the Red Dragon transitions into the Stone (Enraged) rotation.
