Cloud of Darkness (Final Fantasy XIV)

==Summary==
The Cloud of Darkness is a powerful voidsent who appears in Final Fantasy XIV as the final boss of the Crystal Tower story line.
During the Third Astral Era, Emperor Xande, ruler of the Allagan Empire, formed a communion with the voidsent, ultimately culminating in the signing of a pact between Emperor Xande and the Cloud of Darkness. Emporer Xande, however, began to develop an obsession with slaughter and destruction, slowly driving him into madness. Thus, the emperor devised a plan he would launch Bahamut into space in order to use the wyvern's affinity to fire-aspected aether to gather enough energy so that he may open a voidgate large enough to summon the Cloud of Darkness herself so she may rain destruction upon the realm. This scheme backfired, however, as the increased energy flow caused the land to sunder, crumbling away as it swallows the Crystal Tower and Xande with it. This calamity subsequently caused a chain reaction of tremors that shook the entire world, toppling mountains and literally tearing the land asunder. The Crystal Tower would remain buried until it resurfaced many millennia later during the Seventh Astral Era. She resumes to fulfill her end of covenant to erase the realm after the defeat of Xande until being stopped by the Warrior of Light.

*Feint Particle Beam: Targets an opponent with a large AoE moving laser that chases them, shooting into the ground behind them.
*Zero-Form Particle Beam: Cloud of Darkness will teleport to a random side of the stage and cast a massive line AoE, inflicting a vulnerability debuff.
*Comets: Drops several large comets around the room. Upon impact, these comets will massive unavoideable AoE damage. Standing under a comet, however, would prevent the AoE and only deal a small amount of damage.
*Clouds & Storms: Cloud of Darkness receives both a magical and physical invulnerability buff (although it is possible to break this buff if dealt enough damage) and begin sucking in air. At the same time, Dark Clouds and Dark Storms will spawn and begin quickly moving towards her. Any cloud that reaches her will give her a damage up stack; any storm that reaches her will give her 3 damage up stacks. However, the clouds can slow down when one person stands in front with the storms requiring three.
**Flood of Darkness: Instantly casts an unavoidable AoE after Clouds & Storms. The more stormclouds she ate, the more damage this will do.
*Shadowlurkers: Summons worms around the stage. If not hit immediately, they will cast a raid wide Bad Breath which inflicts a massive amounts of status ailments such as Silence, Slow, Heavy, Blind, Poison, and Paralyze.
*Hypercharged Clouds: Three clouds will spawn, with a hexagonal line around it. After a few seconds, the hexagon will transform into a large wall, preventing anyone from entering or leaving the section and from damaging the cloud within if they're outside. The clouds will begin casting Particle Beam. If the cloud is not killed before the cast goes off, it will instant kill everyone.
