LORE & DESCRIPTION
A THEATRICAL TYRANT WHO RULES THE STAGE WITH FLASHING LIGHTS AND SMOKE. THIS DRAMATIC BOSS CREATES VISUAL POLLUTION WITH BLINDING EFFECTS, BUT PATIENT PLAYERS CAN FIND THE THREE SAFE PUNISH WINDOWS AMIDST THE CHAOS.
THE THREE SAFE WINDOWS
Trobbio spins across the stage. Wait for him to stop spinning completely, then attack 1-2 times. This is your most reliable damage window.
Watch for ground ripples, move away from the axis, then attack when he emerges. Quick but safe window for Straight Pin damage.
The grand finale! Use this time to heal with Warding Bell or get 1 safe hit. Don't get greedy during the visual chaos.
