## Rotation

Archdryad Malydrys's normal attack rotation is (1 -> 5 -> 6) -> (2 -> 5 -> 5) -> (3 -> 5 -> 6) -> (4 -> 5 -> 5) -> repeat.

* Archdryad Malydrys starts in the Spring season and cycles through Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter whenever she uses Attack 1. These Seasons correspond to Water/Fire/Wind/Ice damage and determine the buff she applies from Attack 1/2/3/4. Every turn she acts, she announces the current season.
	+ *The rains of Spring will wash you away.*
	+ *The heat of Summer will burn you to ashes.*
	+ *The winds of Autumn will carry you beyond.*
	+ *The cold of Winter will freeze you solid.*
* If enraged, Archdryad Malydrys's attack rotation is (1 or 2 or 3 or 4) -> 5 -> (5 or 6) -> repeat.
	+ Archdryad Malydrys will also randomly change her Season every turn.
		- *The seasons are in chaos!*
	+ Attack 6 still only deals Water or Wind damage.

Argus Skywatcher's attack rotation is 1 -> 2 -> repeat.

* Every 2 turns, Argus Skywatcher will cycle through Day or Night, dealing Light or Darkness damage.
	+ *Fear the Light of Day.*
	+ *Beware the Dark of Night.*

## Mechanics

* While both Archdryad Malydrys and Argus Skywatcher are alive:
	+ Hitting one will heal the other for 100% of the damage taken.
	+ Each monster will purge any DoTs it has when it attacks.
* If Argus Skywatcher has been defeated, Archdryad Malydrys will become enraged, applying stronger buffs at random and increasing her damage/healing.
	+ These buffs stack with any pre-enrage buffs that were already applied.
* If Archdryad Malydrys has been defeated, Argus Skywatcher will become enraged, inflicting additional debuffs and greatly increasing its damage/healing.
* If the Simulacrum of Kathool has been defeated in Dominion of Dreams, both Archdryad Malydrys and Argus Skywatcher will become enraged.
