Mossy Knave

Commonly seen in tropical forests. Its body is covered in green crystals. Whenever it appears, the surrounding area becomes unusually humid. It lurks in the dark corners of the forest, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Prioritize killing it to avoid debuffs. Attack it in close range.

• 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.
