**Pandora EX** is an extra challenge boss monster of Pandora's Gauntlet on *The Corrupted Seven* challenge board.

## Attacks

The element of Pandora EX's attacks depends on which of the Corrupted Seven she is aligned to, and her damage is increased by **Impurity** while she is not affected by 'Inversion' (see Mechanics).

1. Pandora EX slams her scythe on the ground before binding her target with chains.
	* Aligns herself to one of the Corrupted Seven.
	* Attacks for 5 hits of (100 + X)% Magic damage ((500 + 5X)% total) (max 10500%).
		+ X is equal to Pandora EX's Impurity.
2. Pandora EX spins her scythe and seals her target in a cube.
	* Attacks for 1 hit of (100 + X)% Magic damage (max 2100%) with +300 Bonus and +400 Crit.
		+ X is equal to Pandora EX's Impurity.
3. Pandora EX spins up her scythe and hurls it at her target.
	* Attacks for 4 hits of (100 + X)% Magic damage ((400 + 4X)% total) (max 8400%).
		+ X is equal to Pandora EX's Impurity.

## Rotation

* Pandora EX's attack rotation is 1 -> 2 -> 1 -> 3 -> repeat.
* Pandora EX's alignment rotation is Lust -> Envy -> Wrath -> Gluttony -> Sloth -> Pride -> Greed -> repeat.
* Pandora EX's Inversion pseudo-rotation is normally Reversion -> Reversion -> Inversion -> Inversion -> Inversion -> repeat.
	+ Stunning Pandora EX during Inversion will still advance the pseudo-rotation (but not her attack or alignment) until Inversion expires.
* Because none of Pandora EX's three rotations have the same number of actions, Pandora EX effectively has a 140-turn rotation.

## Mechanics

All of Pandora EX's attacks automatically inflict 'Pressure' for 99 turns, a 66% Evil DoT.

### Alignment

Each time Pandora EX uses Attack 1 (every other turn), she changes her alignment to one of the Corrupted Seven sins in the order of Lust -> Envy -> Wrath -> Gluttony -> Sloth -> Pride -> Greed -> repeat. Each alignment determines her attack element and grants her other special abilities. While above 80% HP, Pandora EX's alignment is displayed by the color of her cube.

* Each alignment/phase is split into turns 1 and 2. Turn 1 is always Attack 1, while turn 2 alternates between Attacks 2 and 3.
* Lust (Fire)
	+ On turn 1, Pandora EX applies 'Embrace' for 4 turns inclusive.
		- +100 Bonus.
	+ Pandora EX reflects 75% of all direct damage taken.
* Envy (Poison)
	+ Pandora EX gains 5 Impurity for each successful hit.
* Wrath (Water)
	+ If Pandora EX receives a critical hit, she will gain 2 Impurity and regenerate 100% of the damage taken.
		- *Critical hit absorbed.*
* Gluttony (Wind)
	+ On turn 1, Pandora purges her target of all status effects except for 'Pressure', 'Stuffed', and permanent effects.
		- *Status effects devoured.*
	+ If no status effects were purged, she removes 1 HP potion from her target.
		- *HP potion devoured.*
	+ If her target also has no HP potions, she removes 1 MP potion from her target.
		- *MP potion devoured.*
	+ If her target also has no MP potions, she gains 50 Impurity.
		- *Sustenance required.*
* Sloth (Nature)
	+ Pandora EX heals herself for 10% of her maximum HP each turn she attacks (20% total per rotation).
	+ Pandora EX records her HP and compares it to the previous turn.
	+ If Pandora EX's HP has decreased by less than 2X since her previous turn, she gains 50 Impurity.
		- *Insufficient opposition.*
	+ If Pandora EX's HP has decreased by more than 3X since her previous turn, she gains 50 Impurity.
		- *Opposition threshold exceeded.*
	+ X is equal to Pandora EX's level.
	+ Sloth phase heals are ignored, as she records her HP **after** they heal her.
	+ As she specifically checks her HP, any MP damage she takes will be ignored.
	+ At level 90, Pandora EX gains 50 Impurity unless she takes 180-270 net damage.
* Pride (Null)
	+ On turn 1, Pandora EX inflicts 'Obey' for 2 turns, a stun.
* Greed (Energy)
	+ On turn 1, Pandora EX applies 'Spirit Drift' for 3 turns.
		- +180 Melee/Pierce/Magic.
	+ Pandora EX heals herself for 1x of Impurity for each successful hit. Attack 2 heals her for 4x of Impurity instead.
		- *Taking back what's mine.*

### Impurity

* Pandora EX has an **Impurity** counter that starts at 0 and caps at 2000. She announces her Impurity counter every turn.
	+ *Impurity at X%.*
* Pandora EX permanently gains 1% damage per hit for each stack of Impurity while **not** affected by 'Inversion'.
* Impurity is gained from the following sources:
	+ Envy: Pandora EX gains 5 Impurity for each successful hit.
	+ Wrath: Pandora EX gains 2 Impurity for each critical hit she receives.
	+ Gluttony: If Pandora EX's target has no statuses or potions at the start of this phase, she gains 50 Impurity.
	+ Sloth: If Pandora EX receives too little or too much damage since the previous turn, she gains 50 Impurity.

### Inversion

* Pandora EX has an **Inversion** mechanic that normally activates every 5 turns. She announces when Inversion activates.
	+ *Inversion.*
* 'Inversion' is a status effect lasts for 3 turns inclusive.
	+ There is a visual bug where 'Inversion' is instead listed as 2 turns inclusive on the first turn in Pandora EX's status panel.
* 'Inversion' is applied when Pandora EX has attacked for 2 turns without 'Inversion'.
	+ Pandora EX telegraphs the last turn of Reversion with an animation where she spins her scythe and powers up.
	+ By either purging 'Inversion' or stunning Pandora EX while 'Inversion' is active it is possible to "desync" her 'Inversion' cycle from her regular attack rotation.
* While affected by 'Inversion':
	+ Pandora EX's attacks do not gain damage from Impurity, but she heals herself for 100% of the damage dealt for each successful hit.
	+ Pandora EX will "invert" any negative modifiers to her stats, turning them into equivalent positive modifiers instead.
		- For each effect inverted, Pandora EX applies a separate 'Inverted X +Y' effect.
			* +Y
			* X is the stat being inverted.
			* Y is twice the value of the original negative effect.
			* If an effect lowers multiple stats at once (such as Dragon Tickles), a separate 'Inverted X +Y' is applied for each stat lowered.
		- The following effects will be inverted:
			* -MPM
			* -BPD
			* -Crit
			* -Bonus
			* -Boost
			* -Resistance
				+ Positive Health resistance will not be inverted normally.
			* -Stats
	+ 'Inverted X' effects until 'Inversion' expires, even if the original debuffs expire before 'Inversion' does.
* If Pandora EX has no effects to invert any point during an Inversion phase, she applies 'Inverted Apoptosis' for the remaining duration of 'Inversion', a 5% HoT.
	+ Pandora EX will also invert +Health when applying 'Inverted Apoptosis'.
	+ 'Inverted Apoptosis' **will not** be removed if Pandora EX is debuffed on the following turn.
	+ Because 'Inverted Apoptosis' is a HoT, Pandora EX does not need to be debuffed for the last turn of 'Inversion', as the HoT applied on the last turn will immediately expire next turn without healing her.
* When 'Inversion' expires or is purged, all 'Inverted X' effects are immediately removed.
	+ *Reversion.*
