## Rotation

* Iadoa's initial attack rotation is 1 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7 -> 2 -> 5 -> 6 -> 8 -> 3 -> 5 -> 6 -> 9 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 10.
	+ If any 'Vision' effects remain at the end of this rotation, Iadoa will repeat the entire rotation.
* If all 'Vision' effects are successfully removed, Iadoa's rotation becomes 11 -> 12 -> 13 -> 14 -> 13 -> repeat.

## Mechanics

* Iadoa automatically removes any active stuns on himself upon receiving direct damage.

### Time's Resistance

* If an extra action is gained (e.g., Epoch's Timeshift, Ranger's Focus), Iadoa applies 'Time's Resistance' for 1 turn inclusive.
	+ *Iadoa: 'You may try to tear at Time's boundaries, but it will not be defied!'*
		- +360 Melee/Pierce/Magic.
	+ The exception to this is Avatar of Time, who can safely use Temporal Reset and Orb of Time without triggering 'Time's Resistance'.

### Visions

* At the start of battle and every time he acts, Iadoa applies four different effects on himself for 100 turns:
	+ 'Visions of Kathool'
	+ 'Visions of Fluffy'
	+ 'Visions of Dragonoid'
	+ 'Visions of Carnax'

* While Iadoa has any of these four effects active, he is effectively unbeatable:
	+ He is permanently Deathproof, and becomes immune to all damage after receiving a direct hit when below 10% HP.
		- However, as this is tied to receiving direct damage below this threshold, it is technically possible to defeat him with DoTs without resolving his Visions.
	+ At the end of his rotation, he will repeat instead of transitioning to phase 2, and sets his HP back to 100%.

### Imbalance

* Each time Iadoa uses Attack 6, he applies a phase-specific 'Imbalance' effect on himself:
	+ Carnax: -500 Immobility.
	+ Fluffy: +1 Bonus.
	+ Dragonoid: +1 Boost.
	+ Kathool: -1 Health.

* Certain actions must be taken while he has an 'Imbalance' effect to resolve it:
	+ Carnax: Iadoa must receive direct damage after being stunned.
	+ Fluffy: All hits of Attack 8 must land.
	+ Dragonoid: Iadoa's current HP is recorded when the effect is applied. Iadoa's HP must be greater than or equal to this value at the start of his next turn.
		- Because his HP is recorded when it is applied, the healing from 'Eternal Dragonoid' is taken into account.
	+ Kathool: Iadoa must receive direct damage while his Health + All are greater than or equal to 0.

* Upon successfully resolving an Imbalance, the relevant Vision effect is removed for the rest of the fight, with an accompanying popup:
	+ (Carnax) *Iadoa: 'A crushing vision dispelled... Well done...'*
	+ (Fluffy) *Iadoa: 'A doomed vision dispelled... Well done...'*
	+ (Dragonoid) *Iadoa: 'An eternal vision dispelled... Well done...'*
	+ (Kathool) *Iadoa: 'A maddening vision dispelled... Well done...'*

## Resistances

* Shrink: 300
* Immobility: 300
