Traits

Bosses often possess passive effects which modify standard battle mechanics. None of these are given official names, so the community used approximate names.

Magician Faust (Apparition)
Passives	Effects	Requires
Triple Act	On his turn, Magician Faust uses 3 Actions instead of 1	-
Invincible	All attacks automatically miss	-

Magician Faust (Real)
Passives	Effects	Requires
Retaliate	Ignore turn order and target the attacker with a single target item spell which matches their element. Then use a random item magic which targets All or Magic Bullet	When targeted by an attack, trigger Retaliate.

Abilities

Boss behavior often changes from player input as most of them use "if → then" rules. Conditions are criteria that must be met in order for a Boss to take a particular action. With multiple eligible actions, the Boss selects one at random. Below are some key terms that appear frequently, so are defined here for brevity.
Auto - Found under the Conditions column, this means the Action will be used on the enemy’s next turn if the other conditions are met.
Ignore Turn Order - Usually paired with the Retaliate action, this means the current values which determine turn order do not change from this action being taken.

Trivia

1. While a group of four Mazo are visible in the battle, they take no actions and cannot be targeted or dealt damage. Despite this, they still have a speed value and take turns which sometimes leads to slight pauses in the battle. Their only significance appears to be partaking in the animation for Magician Faust's Thunder Hammer. This is similar to Kamuy's Tree which is used for the animation of Kamuy's Howling Blades.
