When the Dark Wisp of Ruin/Death spawns, destroy it immediately with direct damage or Wind or Ice AoE attacks like Blizzard or Maelstrom to also chip away at the boss’s Shield Points and HP.
Stop the Dark Wisp's Countdowns
It is especially to destroy the Dark Wisps as soon as their countdowns appear. The Dark Wisp of Ruin has a three-turn countdown that unleashes heavy damage when it expires, while the Dark Wisp of Death applies a six-turn effect that protects the Guardian’s weaknesses.
Damage them directly when you see the countdown numbers to stop both the boss's offensive and defensive abilities.
