Tips and Mechanics

Weak Point - Eye

Ruin Guards have extremely high RES. Avoid using abased carry. If you do, always bring Superconduct ( + ) to reduce their resistance by 40%.

It takes a while for the Ruin Hunter to go into Aerial Mode. Try to do enough damage to destroy it before it lifts up. If you're not able to, make sure you bring a Bow character to disabled it when it flies.

Ruin Hunter attacks all have long windup animations, making them predictable. Learn the timings and dodge appropriately. They also have long durations between attacks, so use these windows to deal damage.

While slow, the attacks hit hard. If you're not skilled at dodging them, consider bringing a shield character to prevent being staggered by it's attacks.

Avoid using skills that put your character into the air (for example Xiao's Burst). If you are unable to be hit by the ground attacks, this will immediately trigger Aerial Mode. If you have a Bow character, you could also do this intentionally in order to stun it faster.

Abilities (Ground)

Slash

Performs a single, sweeping slash

Drill

Charges up briefly, before charging towards the player

Combo Attack

Performs a series of slashes, followed by a wheel attack

Dodge towards the back of the Ruin Hunter to avoid the initial set of slashes. When it goes for the wheel attack, this will follow you again, so dodge one more time to the side.

Aerial Mode

Ruin Hunter lifts off into the sky, changing attack modes

The Ruin Hunter will change modes after performing a few attacks on the ground.

This can also be initiated if the player gets themselves out of reach of the ground attacks - for example by jumping into the air with Xiao.

Abilities (Air)

Missile Barrage

Fires several missiles that explode on the ground

Gattling Gun

Rapidly fires bullets at the player

Laser Combo

Fires homing missiles at the player, followed by a charged laser shot

Stunned

Hitting the eye while in the air will stun the Ruin Hunter briefly
