In the Otherworld Exploration of Forgefire and Stardust, Travelers will face the final Boss—Energy-Sapping Construct—directly. The main challenge this round lies in managing the number and types of statuses the Boss possesses. Below, you'll find an overview of its abilities and recommended team strategies.

Boss Mechanics

Passive Skills

Passive Skill 1 — "Insight Compendium"

Counter Priority: ⭐
When the Energy-Sapping Construct loses its Shield, it gains 5 stacks of Insight. When Cognition reaches 100 or more, the Energy-Sapping Construct and its Summoned Units deal damage that ignores Immortality and Invincibility, and prevents the target from being Resurrected.
Insight: Grants a 1% Damage Bonus to the hero and Summoned Units.
Counter Strategy: The Boss gains Damage Bonus stacks through its standard passive skill effect. No special action required.

Passive Skill 2 — "Reverse Index"

Counter Priority: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Energy-Sapping Construct always maintains four Buff or Debuff effects. When exceeding this limit, it dispels the earliest granted effect. At the start of battle, it grants the hero 15% Attack Up, Defense Up (Level 1), 30% Damage Bonus, and 30% Damage Reduction. If the hero has fewer than four effects, it restores one of the Buffs granted at the start of battle.
Counter Strategy: This passive skill is the Boss's core mechanic. You cannot grant more than four Debuffs to the Boss. Avoid deploying heroes who frequently grant multiple Debuffs, as this may overwrite crucial effects like Defense Penalty.

Active Skills

Active 1 — Chapter of Compilation

Counter Priority: ⭐⭐⭐
For each Buff the Energy-Sapping Construct has, it summons 1 Arm. For every 2 Debuffs, it summons 1 Book, up to a maximum of 4 in total.
Arm: Deals damage and Knock Back to enemies in the current row. If Knock Back is successful, the Energy-Sapping Construct gains 2 stacks of Insight.
Book: Attacks the nearest enemy. On hit, triggers an explosion that deals additional damage to surrounding enemies and randomly grants one of the following Debuffs: Level 2 Attack Penalty or Level 2 Defense Penalty.
Counter Strategy: Adjust your team's positioning to ensure the Arm's Knock Back does not prevent your main DPS from receiving the Damage Bonus provided by allies equipped with Whirling Edge. Stack high Resistance on your heroes, or deploy heroes with Immunity or the ability to dispel Debuffs, to counter negative effects granted by the Book.

Active 2 — Chapter of Flaws

Counter Priority: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Grants AOE Damage Vulnerability and Damage Over Time Vulnerability to all units on the field for 10 seconds. Reduces Ultimate by 25% for all enemies, then commands all Summoned Units to Attack once.
Counter Strategy: Stack high Resistance on your heroes to mitigate this effect. The Debuff granted by this skill also applies to the Boss, so monitor its status closely. If key effects like Defense Penalty you granted are overwritten, reapply them promptly.

Active 3 — Chapter of Binding

Counter Priority: ⭐⭐
The Energy-Sapping Construct grants the hero two Buffs from among 15% Attack Up, Defense Up (Level 1), 30% Damage Bonus, and 30% Damage Reduction, prioritizing those not already present. Then commands all Summoned Units to Attack once.
Counter Strategy: In addition to reapplying key Debuffs, consider deploying heroes with Buff Prohibition abilities to prevent the Boss from gaining Buffs.

Active 4 — Chapter of Form

Counter Priority: ⭐⭐⭐
Grants a Shield to the hero and all Summoned Units, and Dispels all Debuffs. If the Summoned Unit is recalled while the Shield has not Vanished, the hero gains 5 stacks of Insight. Then commands all Summoned Units to Attack once.
Counter Strategy: In addition to reapplying key Debuffs, use heroes with Shield dispel abilities before the Boss casts "Chapter of Flame" to prevent the Boss from gaining additional Insight stacks.

Active 5 — Chapter of Flame

Counter Priority: ⭐⭐
Recalls all Summoned Units and gathers Combat Data, dealing Necrotic Damage to all enemies. For each stack of Insight the hero has, this skill's damage is increased by 1%.
Counter Strategy: This skill is the Boss's primary burst attack. Prevent the Boss from gaining multiple damage output Buffs before it casts this skill, and use timely Healing and Shields to avoid losing heroes.
