## Rotations

Master Twang has two different rotations: Defensive and Offensive, which are dictated by his current Stance (see Mechanics).

* Defensive: 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 2 -> 4 -> 5 -> repeat.
* Offensive: 6 -> 7 -> 8 -> 5 -> 9 -> 10 -> repeat.
* Upon switching rotations, Master Twang will continue where the previous stance rotation left off while pausing the current.
* If his target's HP is below 20% HP or 'Inner Power' reaches 4 stacks (see Mechanics), his rotation becomes 11 -> repeat.

## Mechanics

### Stance

* Master Twang's rotation depends on his current stance.
	+ Master Twang switches stance at the start of his turn if the **player** (not pet) deals direct damage to him.
	+ Visually, Master Twang's current stance is represented by his Twangblade (red for Defensive Stance and yellow for Offensive Stance).
* If Master Twang received direct damage from the player, he applies 'Defensive Stance' for 99 turns turns.
	+ +10X All.
	+ -10X Health.
	+ Retaliates 50% of Master Twang's base damage range.
	+ X is the number of turns in a row 'Defensive Stance' has been active, capped at 5.
* If Master Twang did not receive direct damage from the player, he applies 'Offensive Stance' for 99 turns inclusive.
	+ +10X Bonus.
	+ +10X Boost.
	+ X is the number of turns in a row 'Offensive Stance' has been active, capped at 5.
* Only one stance effect can be active at a time.
* Each time Master Twang changes stances, the number of stacks of the previous Stance are reset.
* Master Twang begins the fight in 'Defensive Stance'.
	+ *Master Twang acknowledges your presence.*

#### Inner Power

* At the start of each turn, if 'Defensive Stance' or 'Offensive Stance' exceed 3 stacks, Master Twang applies 'Inner Power' for 99 turns inclusive.
	+ +25Y Melee/Pierce/Magic.
	+ +25Y Crit.
	+ Y is equal to the number of times 'Inner Power' has been applied, capped at 4.
* Unlike Stance stacks, stacks of 'Inner Power' **do not** reset upon changing stances.
* If 'Inner Power' reaches 4 stacks, Master Twang's rotation changes, using Attack 11 exclusively, effectively ending the fight in a loss.

## Resistances

* Shrink: 300
* Immobility: 300
* Fish: 100
