== Mission ==
===17 - A Widow's Wrath===
Mark: 		Pulsework Champion
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
Class: 		B
A Pulsework champion that had been working the Mah'habara Subterra Subterra has gone haywire, and is now raising chaos on the steppe's northern highplain. It is my Focus to see the automaton deactivated—a duty which I undertake not only at the fal'Cie's behest, but for my husband, whom the accursed machine butchered.
By all that is sacred, I will not rest until I have torn it washer from bolt!
===31 - Newfound Purpose===
Mark: 		Pulsework Champion
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Haerii Archaeopolis
Class: 		B
It doesn't much matter if it's destroying a Pulsework champion in the Haerii archaeopolis or picking flowers in the yard—if it's my Focus, I'm going to do it. Life was boring before, with nothing to live for. But now I'm a l'Cie, I have a Focus—and life is beautiful, the clouds have parted, and...and there are rainbows! Cie'th or crystal, it's all the same to me—so long as I can put myself to the test, challenge my own limits, and win!

Until staggered, the Pulsework Champion is immune to all elements and resistant to damage. When staggered, it becomes resistant to elements, takes normal damage from attacks, becomes immune to Pain and susceptible to Imperil and Daze.
=== Strategy ===
Getting a preemptive strike on the Pulsework Champion is relatively simple, which bypasses the difficulty in Staggering it. Regardless, Ravagers and Saboteurs are effective against the Pulsework Champion, as their attacks can rapidly fill its chain gauge.
