The Librarian is a fast-paced boss that relies on applying Burn and shuffling your party. He has two main phases: 'Reading' and 'Burning'. During Reading, he gains Block tokens and shuffles your party, while during Burning, he loses Block but deals heavy Burn damage. Your goal is to burst him down during his Burning phase. Heroes with high raw damage, critical hit chance, and Burn resistance are excellent. Skills that ignore Block or remove positive tokens are also highly effective. Be prepared for constant repositioning and heavy fire damage.
