## Mechanics

### Rift Cutter Boost

* Each time Alz'ein uses any attack except 9 and 10, loses 5 **Rift Cutter Boost**, decreasing her damage by that amount.
* Each turn, applies 'Riftbound' for 99 turns.
	+ Boost +10X.
		- On the turn following Attack 10 or 11, X increases by 1.

### Shaken

If Alz'ein takes direct damage while stunned:

* All stuns are purged, and are replaced by 'Alz'ein Shaken', a 1 turn stun.
	+ *Alz'ein manages to shake off some of your stun.*
* In addition, Alz'ein applies 'Rift Shaker' for 99 turns inclusive.
	+ +300 Immobility.

### Isiri (noncombatant)

Isiri appears alongside Alz'ein, applying a buff on the first turn, and every 4 turns afterwards, including when Alz'ein is stunned.

* 'Teltys' for 4 turns inclusive.
	+ Bonus +40.
	+ *Isiri: 'By the power of the stars, The Dagger against your foe!'*
* 'Azcrat' for 4 turns inclusive.
	+ Melee/Pierce/Magic +40.
	+ *Isiri: 'A bulwark drawn from constellation, bring forth The Shield!'*

Isiri's buff rotation is A/B -> nothing x3 -> B/A -> nothing x3 -> repeat.

* If Alz'ein does not receive a hit on the first turn, Isiri will use Teltys, otherwise Azcrat, and will alternate.

Each time Alz'ein loses 20% of her maximum HP, Isiri will cast a blessing to increase the power of Attack 11, and can do so multiple times in sequence.

* *Isiri: 'I have your back, Alz'ein!'*
	+ Increases **Isiri's Blessing** by 5.
* Isiri's Blessing does not affect the cooldown for her buff rotation.
* If Attack 11 is not used within 5 turns, **Isiri's Blessing** is reset to 0.
	+ *Isiri's blessing fades from Alz'ein.*
* Isiri's Blessing will activate once per each of the following thresholds:
	+ 80% HP (9029)
	+ 60% HP (6772)
	+ 40% HP (4514)
	+ 20% HP (2257)

During Dance of the Stars, if Alz'ein is defeated, Isiri will instead buff Etaos.
