Iris Cantus Attacks and Abilities

Damaging Force Field

Iris Cantus can conjure a force field around her that will damage anyone who goes near it. Attacking her with a melee attack when her damaging force field is up will only do your team harm.

Spear Throw

Iris Cantus can also hurl three spears at your team that inflict damage. She does this several times during the fight and it can deplete your team's HP if not avoided.

When you see the spears coming your team's way, dodge quickly.

Rain of Pain

Iris Cantus can summon rain from the sky that damages and poisons your team for as long as you stay under it.

She can summon this rain on both sides of the arena and your team will only have a narrow path where you can dodge the spears safely. Tread carefully!

Punishment

Finally, she can also pick a random member of your team to punish. Failing to take down the structure before Iris Cantus gets to your team member will result to tons of damage.
