## Rotation

* In phase 1, Lionfang's rotation is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> transition to phase 2.
* In phase 2, Lionfang's rotation is 5 -> 2 -> 6 -> 4 -> repeat.
* In phase 3, Lionfang's rotation is 7 -> 8 -> 9 -> 10 -> 11 -> 12 -> 13.

## Mechanics

### Resilient Armor

* Whenever Lionfang receives a critical hit, applies 'Resilient Armor' for 1 turn inclusive.
	+ +10X All (max 70).
	+ X is equal to the number of times Lionfang has been hit, capped at 7.

### Phases

* Lionfang has 3 phases, that advance after certain conditions are met:
	+ Lionfang transitions to phase 2 after his first use of Attack 4.
	+ Lionfang transitions to phase 3 after his HP is lowered to below 10% (1203).
		- In phase 3, Lionfang is immune to **all** damage.
		- If he was brought below this threshold by a direct attack, has a unique popup:
			* *Lionfang: 'Not... yet! I will NOT yield! I cannot!'*

### Pads

* Each time Lionfang uses Attack 2, 7, or 10, he will randomly mark two of the three pads.
	+ If the player is not on the unmarked pad when Lionfang uses Attacks 4, 9, or 12, the attack become massively empowered, dealing massive damage, gaining +500 Bonus, and inflicting 'Essence Draining', a stun.
		- (Attack 4/9) *Lionfang: 'Miserable foe, I have you!'*
		- (Attack 12) *Lionfang: 'At last...'*
			* Attack 4 inflicts 'Essence Draining' for 4 turns, while Attacks 9 and 12 inflict it for 99 turns.
	+ The safe pad is designated by a popup:
		- North: *Lionfang: 'The forces of Good once marched from the North...'*
		- West: *Lionfang: 'I shall hold you here, foul being of Evil in the middle of things!'*
		- South: *Lionfang: 'I clashed against Evil in the South! Tore through their unholy ranks!'*
	+ In phase 1, the unsafe spots are visually marked.
		- In phase 2 and 3, the player must rely on the popup to know which pad is safe.

### Defeating Lionfang

* Unlike all other bosses (as of writing), Lionfang cannot be defeated conventionally:
	+ He is permanently Deathproof, and is immune to all damage in phase 3.
	+ The intended way to defeat Lionfang is to survive his entire phase 3 rotation, which ends with him defeating himself.
		- However, due to how his damage immunity works, phase 3 can technically be skipped if enough indirect damage (DoTs, reflects, retaliates) is dealt to take his HP to 0 outside of phase 3.

## Resistances

* All: 25
* Shrink: 300
* Immobility: 300
