# Page 1: The Summon That Was Never Meant to Stay
### **Description:**
Talisman: Seeking Ghost Flame is a Hoyoung Talisman skill that allegedly seeks out and attacks enemies. However, in practice, it appears to have **a mind of its own**, prioritizing **random**, often irrelevant targets. Instead of helping you secure kills, it chooses a **completely arbitrary path of destruction**.
### **Behavioral Analysis:**
* **Expected Functionality:** Target the strongest enemy nearby and deal consistent damage.
* **Actual Functionality:** Targets the **most obscure** enemy in a 50-mile radius.
* **Known Issues:**
* Frequently ignores bosses to attack background decorations.
* May **leave the current map** entirely.
* Possibly aware of its own independence and rebelling against its master.
### **Possible Connection to Taotie:**
Lore scholars of Grandis have debated for years whether the Seeking Ghost Flame is connected to **Taotie, the devourer of all things**. Some theorize that the flame is an escaped fragment of his **boundless hunger**, still seeking to consume—except instead of choosing meaningful enemies, it chases after completely irrelevant targets. Others believe the flame is part of the **same ancient curse that sealed Taotie**, a restless spirit unable to follow orders, forever doomed to wander. This would explain why it seems more focused on rediscovering ancient evils than assisting Hoyoung in battle.
### **Combat Experience:**
Summoning Seeking Ghost Flame mid-battle? **It's already gone.** Need it to attack a boss? **It prefers the ambiance.** Relying on it for damage? **It will let you down.**
Its behavior has been compared to an untrained housecat: you call for it, and it does exactly the opposite of what you want. **It will pretend to engage**—floating nearby, circling its prey—only to **change its mind at the last second** and go on a quest **no one asked for.**
You would think that, as a master of the three paths, Hoyoung would have better control over **his own summoned entity.** But no, this ghostly flame is the equivalent of giving a toddler a sword and expecting it to follow instructions.
> *“At least it’s doing something.”* — You, coping.

**when it's the only orb left** so you're not waiting for apparition to proc again for cudgel reset
In bosses, cudgel is a fair bit more valuable so **filling the orbs on purpose** may be more valuable than using earth wave blindly.
If you consume the blue orb before the other two there's a good chance it'll mess up and you'll be worse off than before, try to only use heaven when it's the last one left.

### Final Damage Bonus from Element Switching
Hoyoung gains a **5% Final Damage (FD) bonus** when switching between different elemental skills due to the 3rd job  **Scroll Energy (Passive)** effect:
* **Using a skill with a different attribute than the previous one grants a 5% FD boost.**
* **Alternating Heaven, Earth, and Humanity skills ensures maximum FD uptime.**
* **Maintaining a structured combo cycle optimizes damage.**

4 - potentially better than 3 if solo and high uptime \
3 - if it's the only ring you have, ring swap between stat ring just for burst

## Krrr Ring
It's a powerful resource if you use it offensively to get a good set up/burst off. It can help push min clears to be a bit more reachable if you're not  liberated and doing challenging fights like black mage.
# Dark Sight Guide
### **Overview**
Dark Sight is a defensive mechanic that allows Hoyoung to **avoid certain attacks** by becoming temporarily invisible. While Hoyoung does not have direct access to the standard Thief Dark Sight skill, **certain skills provide this effect** and allow dodging specific mechanics in boss fights.
### **How Hoyoung Gains Dark Sight**
Hoyoung's **Dark Sight** effect is granted through the 2nd job passive skill  **Out of Sight**. This skill activates when using the **clone versions** of specific Attribute Skills.
{% hint style="danger" %}
Using the real version (2nd movement part) of the clone skill will not trigger Dark Sight
{% endhint %}
#### **Skills That Trigger Out of Sight**
The following **clone skills** activate the **Out of Sight** effect:
*  **Earth: Ground-Shattering Wave (Clone)**
*  **Earth: Stone Tremor (Clone)**
*  **Heaven: Iron Fan Gale (Clone)**
*  **Heaven: Consuming Flames (Clone)**
Upon using any of these skills, Hoyoung enters **Dark Sight** for a brief duration, allowing evasion of certain enemy attacks.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Using another attack skill will reveal Hoyoung**, ending Dark Sight
{% endhint %}
### **What Can Be Dodged with Dark Sight?**
Hoyoung’s Dark Sight works **similarly to regular Dark Sight**, meaning it can avoid many **environmental and falling attacks**, including:
#### **Examples of Dodgable Attacks**
* **Magnus** – Meteors
* **Vellum** – Cave Spikes
* **Lotus** – Falling Debris
* **Damien** – Fireballs
* **Will (Phase 2)** – Walking through Webs
* **Gloom** – Meteors
* **Darknell** – Meteors
* **Black Mage**:
* **Phase 1** – Lightning Pillars
* **Phase 2+** – Rolling Projectiles (before they hit the floor), White Orbs
* **Phase 3** – White Full-Map Attack (FMA)
* **Seren** – Falling Fireballs
* **Papulatus** – Floor attack
{% hint style="warning" %}
If you dodge an attack that **deals damage proportional to Max HP**, your remaining Dark Sight duration will be **reduced by 20% of the maximum time**.
{% endhint %}
### **How Dark Sight Affects Boss Gauge Mechanics**
Certain bosses have **gauge mechanics** that build up when hit by specific attacks. While Dark Sight can **prevent damage**, it does not always prevent gauge accumulation.
* **Seren's Dash Attack** – Hoyoung **will not take damage** if dodged with Dark Sight, but the associated **gauge will still increase**.
* **Other Bosses with Gauge Mechanics** – Some gauge mechanics **continue increasing** even if damage is negated.
### **What Dark Sight Does NOT Dodge**
While Dark Sight works on many **environmental hazards**, it does not avoid most **targeted or tracking attacks**. Some notable exceptions include:
* **Seren's Sunset Pillars** – Not avoidable with Dark Sight.
* **Direct Targeted Attacks** – If an attack is aimed **directly at you**, it **cannot be avoided** with Dark Sight.
* **Seren's Dash Attack** – Does not deal damage in Dark Sight, but still builds gauge.
### **How to Tell if an Attack is Avoidable**
A **general rule of thumb** is:
* If an attack **falls from above** or is an **environmental hazard**, it **can likely be dodged**.
* If an attack is **directly aimed at you**, it **cannot be dodged**.
* If Showdown can **disable** an attack (untouchable), it usually means **Dark Sight can avoid it**.
#### **Weird Exceptions**
* **Will’s Webs and Black Mage’s Lightning Pillars** count as “collision-type” attacks, meaning Dark Sight works even though they don’t fall.
* Some boss mechanics function uniquely, and the **best way to test** is through trial and error. If you **get punished, don't try it again**.
