Tips and Mechanics

Weak Point - Core (Eye)

The weak point is only exposed after it absorbs the element and in a small window before using the Barrage attack. Unless you can kill it before it does this attack, it is important to bring a character that can hit the Eye and interrupt it during this time.

If your team primarily does damage of a single element, it is very important to interrupt the Barrage attack. If your team has mixed damage, you may be able to ignore it.

Elemental Absorption

After some time, the Ruin Drake will infuse based on whichever element it has taken the most damage from so far. While infused, it will gain +40% RES to that element, as well as performing it's Barrage attack infused with the same element.

During this time, the Eye (core) will be exposed. Hitting the eye with certain attacks (e.g. charged attack with a bow with interrupt the attack, as well as removing the Resistance bonus.
