## Resistances

## Tips and Mechanics
**Weak Point** - Face
**Abyss Lectors** will not move when attacking if you stay close by.
**Abyss Lectors** can be staggered before they shield. You can use this to move them to a favorable position. Once shielded, they can no longer be pushed.
Once **shielded**, try to stay close to the **Abyss Lector** so the **Meteor** attack will land close by. This allows you to use AoE damage to continue hitting both the **shield** and the shard at the same time for maximum damage.
## Shield

{% endembed %}
Once the **Abyss Lector** drops below a certain **HP**, it will summon a  **shield** and deal **DMG** to nearby characters. There is no way to kill the **Abyss Lector** immediately and skip the shield phase.
The **shield** absorbs incoming damage. Destroying the **shield** will immediately kill the **Abyss Lector**, regardless of how much **HP** is left
### Meteor (Shielded)
{% embed url="" %}
Summons a meteor which explodes, dealing damage
{% endembed %}
The **Meteor** leaves behind a shard which can be destroyed. Doing so deals additional damage to the **Abyss Lector**'s shield and briefly staggering it.
