Basalt

Commonly seen in tall, snow-covered mountains. Can cause blizzards and avalanches. Massive in size, it is extremely powerful.

Attack it at close range. Dodge its ranged attacks.

• Stellaact color match: hit the Wanderer's weak-point color and Shield-break speed doubles; a Full Match (matching every color the fight calls for) doubles the effectiveness again. The 6 Stellactrum colors are Emerald, Sapphire, Violet, Amber, Ruby, Pearl.
• Shield-break window: the shield only breaks once you've built up enough Resonance/Ardor — attacking outside that window wastes damage.
• Action Points: don't spam attacks; save AP for the shield-break window.
• Perfect Dodge: dodge right as the hit lands to trigger Witch Time (a slow-motion window) and counter.
• Protocore ratio: aim for CRIT Rate : CRIT DMG around 1:2 (e.g. 50%/100%); in high-tier content, Elemental DMG Bonus outweighs ATK%; support units should prioritize Oath Recovery.
• Play manually, not on Auto, for hard fights.

Elite Wanderers carry a glowing aura/name bar that buffs and heals nearby lesser enemies — take the Elite down first.

Every high-tier Wanderer fight happens inside a Protofield — a private dimension the Wanderer creates from its own energy; the Hunters Association requires 2 Evolvers to enter together for support. Each fight scans 6 Stellactrum types: Emerald · Sapphire · Violet · Amber · Ruby · Pearl. Matching the Stellactrum the fight calls for DOUBLES your attack effectiveness and speeds up Shield-breaking twofold — once the shield breaks, the Wanderer takes greatly increased damage for a short window, the best moment to burst it down.

Defeating a Wanderer drops a Protocore — a Hunter's core gear. The higher the Wanderer's rank (Elite, Boss), the stronger the Protocore it drops compared to Normal. See tier and set-effect details on the Protocore lookup page.
