• Weak point is only exposed when airborne.

Abilities[]

Most ability names are unofficial.

Slash Combo
Media:Ruin Hunter Slash Combo.mp4	Brandishes its forearms before attacking twice, followed by a spinning slash, ended by one final cross-slash, dealing15% ATK,15% ATK,10% ATK * 2,20% ATK respectively asPhysical DMG with each hit. Whirling Slash: Occasionally, after using this attack, they have a chance to perform a far-reaching upright or sideways spin, dealing15% ATK asPhysical DMG. In the current version, only the slashing effects of the sideways spin will appear, dealing DMG to the character should they be inside them. The sideways spin attack will not have a special animation, nor will the Ruin Hunter travel any distance during it. It is unknown why this is the case.

Drill Thrust
Media:Ruin Hunter Drill Thrust.mp4	If the player roams too far, the Ruin Hunter will transform its two right arms into lances and charge for a long while. After 2 seconds, it will instantly charge towards the player, covering a massive distance in the process, dealing100% ATK asPhysical DMG.

Airborne State
If the player runs too far, is at a different elevation, or after3 minutes have passed since entering combat, the Ruin Hunter may occasionally enter an airborne state by detaching its limbs which then serve as its propulsion,pushing all nearby players away, and becoming airborne for a while or until its core is hit. It will immediately enter this mode of attack if its current target is too high or low in elevation. While airborne, its core weak spot is exposed. Attacking this weak spot with a single attack that deals80 or higherPoise Damage will cause it to fall out of the sky and become stunned for a period of time.

AI Logic[]

• An ability will only be used if all of the following conditions have been met:
  • The ability is not on cooldown
  • The target is within the range and angle required by the ability
  • The ability has the highest priority out of all that meet the previous 2 conditions
    • A lower priority number indicates a higher priority.
    • If multiple abilities share the highest priority, one will be chosen at random.

Locations[]

Ruin Hunter locations can be pinpointed on the map by using theAdventurer Handbook.

Strategy[]

Ruin Hunters are significantly faster and pack a stronger punch compared to Ruin Guards. To make up for this, they possess lower physical resistance, but it is still recommended to use elemental attacks against them. Note that while they are hovering on the ground, they cannot be disabled at all.

If too much time has passed or the player is at a higher elevation than it on ground level, the Ruin Hunter will enter Bombardment mode. This includes being airborne (e.g.,Venti's heldSkyward Sonnet orWanderer entering the Windfavored state fromHanega: Song of the Wind), jumping with increased jump height (e.g.Xiao while under the effects ofBane of All Evil), gliding, climbing, or being on drastically higher ground (or aGeo Construct). In this state, the Ruin Hunter's eye will glow brightly, turning it into a weak spot. Because it flies up even higher in this state,Bow andCatalyst users are the only ones capable of consistently damaging it. The Ruin Hunter remains in this state unless struck in the eye or it uses its Quad Lasers attack, the latter signifying the end of Bombardment Mode.

Only one successful strike on the glowing eye is needed to bring it crashing down — a follow-up hit is not required as with the Ruin Guards. The Ruin Hunter will be disabled in a manner similar to Ruin Guards, but no protective rune appears after it recovers, meaning that Bombardment Mode can be abused to greatly weaken its offense.

When the Ruin Hunter is preparing to use its move Blade Slash, be aware that it only strikes at the last moment because it is aiming for a target, which means it can be dashed through easily. Drill Slash is particularly dangerous and must be dodged as it deals very high, if not outright fatal damage.

Ruin Hunters can beFrozen, so permafreeze teams that can repeatedly apply Frozen can be very effective.
