Masters of Wind

Masters of Wind is the third challenge on the Displaced Fates 2 board. It consists of defeating a duo of Thyton and Greg at the same time.
== Rules ==
=== Thyton ===
# Thyton will have 1 of 2 status effects, either East Wind or West Wind, active at all times. During East Wind, he gains a large +MPM buff the first time he is hit each turn. During West Wind, he gains a large +MPM buff until an attack misses him for the first time each turn.
# Thyton applies Runic Blades, a stacking +Boost/Bonus/Crit buff that increases if he landed an attack during his previous action.
#* If Runic Blades would gain its 5th stack, instead Thyton performs an attack before his regular attack that does significant damage and switches between East Wind and West Wind.
# If the first hit of his rotation misses, Thyton attempts to inflict -All and later applies a significant +Boost/Bonus/Crit buff instead of healing.
=== Greg ===
# Greg switches between two rotations, Nimble and Steel.
# Each time Greg is hit or lands a hit, and at the start of his turn, he gains power, up to a maximum of 9000.
#* If Greg's power is over 9000, he uses an attack and switches between the two rotations. These attacks get stronger each time they are used.
# In his Nimble rotation, Greg gains stacking +MPM and +Bonus based on his power.
# In his Steel rotation, Greg gains stacking Damage Reduction, +Boost, and +Crit based on his power.
== Turn Order ==
Thyton -> Greg
== Equipment ==
* Both bosses deal Wind damage, so having equipment with Wind resistance will be useful for the fight.
** Greg does Metal damage during his Steel rotation, so consider switching back to a general All resist set during that time.
** * The Flight Signet (VI or VII) ring is especially useful here, as it provides both +10 Metal and +10 Wind.
* Both bosses get large +MPM boosts, making Lance of Awethur's On-Hit weapon special very useful for this fight.
== Strategy ==
* Both bosses have the ability to gain large amounts of +Bonus as well as +MPM. Make sure to have counterplay ready for this - other forms of defense, like -Boost and +All are recommended.
* Thyton's East Wind and West Wind mechanic makes him very difficult to meaningfully damage. If you can't buff your Bonus or reduce Thyton's MPM enough to hit him consistently, try to keep him in the wind that hinders you less.
* It is generally safer to leave Greg in his Nimble rotation, where he deals less damage and generates minimal power.
* Well-timed shields are very important for this fight; shields will somewhat slow Thyton down from stacking Runic Blades quickly, and Greg will constantly be trying to inflict a troublesome -All debuff.
