Phase structure: This is a single-phase encounter — no phase transitions to memorize. Focus on positioning and burst windows.

Respawn rules: This is a one-time fight tied to story progression. The reward is guaranteed but cannot be farmed. If you missed it, the only path back is a New Game + run.

Element coverage: Run any element as the primary damage source. There are no flat resistances on this fight, so you have flexibility on element pick.
