  • Elemental: Dragon (3/5), Ice (2/5)
  • Status: Blast (2/5), Paralysis (2/5), Sleep (2/5)
  • Breakable Parts: Head, Wind Sacs (on body and tail)
  • Severable Parts: Tail

Attack Patterns & Strategies:

Ibushi is the first Elder Dragon you face in a Rampage-style quest. The fight takes place in a unique arena with defensive installations.

  • Installation Focus: Your primary damage will come from Ballistas, Cannons, and the Dragonator. Man these installations and fire at Ibushi.
  • Wind Sacs: Ibushi has glowing wind sacs on its body and tail. Focus fire on these to break them, causing large damage and potentially knocking it down.
  • Wind Attacks: It will create powerful wind currents that can push you around or damage installations.
  • Dragonator: When available, use the Dragonator for massive damage. Time it carefully for when Ibushi is close.
  • Counter Signal: When the Counter Signal is active, your personal attack power is greatly increased. Use this time to engage Ibushi directly with your weapon.
  • Ultimate Attack: Ibushi will charge a massive wind attack. Use the Dragonator or powerful installation attacks to interrupt it.

Recommended Gear:

  • Any high-damage weapon. Elemental weaknesses are less critical here due to the installation focus.
  • Armor with good defense.
  • Skills like Artillery (for cannons) or Ballistics (for ballistas) can be helpful if you want to specialize in installations.
