[NIGHTMARE - F9] <<Covam, Furnace of Stylahm>>

[Cardinal 0]

<<Covam, Furnace of Stylahm>>
Within the ash and brimstone, the fires of Mount Stylahm swell with the memories of old. An ancient and unbridled power waits for those foolish enough to stand upon its peak, ready to turn the volcano into its field of war.
HP: 12000 + 3000 * Player Count past 4
DMG: 350 + 25 * Player Count past 4
MIT: 300 + 75 * Player Count past 4
ACC: 3 + (½ the highest player evasion)

Abilities:

• Scorching Bite | Any successful attack from Covam benefits from partial phase (-25% mitigation).
• Cauterize | Whenever a hostile target sustains burn damage from Covam, Covam heals for an equal amount of the damage dealt.
• Boiling Blood | The Highest available hatred applied to Covam decays -1 every turn. In addition, whenever a player uses an item to recover any hitpoints, BRN 4 will be applied to the user of that item. If there is already a burn applied, the target instead will sustain the entire damage the burn would have done over its duration before it is refreshed.
• Bloodless | Vampiric (VD & VO) Effects are half as effective.
• Heat Wave | All attacks made against Covam deal 26 burn damage to the attacker, or double this amount the attacker does not have the <<Survival>> skill active. In addition, performing a successful critical strike will apply BRN 2 (56 over 2) to the attacker. If a burn effect is already present, it will instead deal all of that effects remaining damage before refreshing to this new value.
• Explosive Ire | Whenever Covam is successfully hit by a critical hit, he will gain a stack of [Focus] up to the maximum of 3 stacks.
• Cataclysm | Whenever Covam performs a successful critical hit, Covam will attack the entire party dealing 300 damage and applying BRN 4 (112 over 2). If Burn is already present on the target, this application will instead refresh the existing burn damage after dealing all of its remaining damage.
• We Are Legion | Covam gains an additional attack during its post action for each stack of [We Are Legion]. Covam gains a stack each time it sustains 500 damage before its next turn as it sprouts another two heads. This can occur up to the maximum of 10 times, effectively giving Covam 10 attacks per turn.
• Devil's Pinion | Cooldown: 3 | Every Three turns, an epitaph of Covam's power will appear. While present, Covam will no longer use its post actions and will instead charge the epitaph. In this state Covam cannot be targeted in any way including Howl. Players must destroy the epitaph before the start of his second turn after it is erected or the entire party will sustain 800 unmitigated burn damage that bypasses Fire Immunity as the entire room is briefly filled with magma. To destroy the epitaph, a cumulative LD of 100 must be rolled by the party. Lockpicking, Dismantle, Scouting Familiar and LD modifiers from Food/Trinket/Totems apply.

Alternative Mechanics:

• Freeze | Will prevent Covam from healing from Burn Damage dealt until the end of its next turn instead of disabling Covam. In addition, Covam takes double damage FRZ damage from attacks made (I.E. 16 * Tier becomes 32 * Tier)
• Delay | Removes a stack of focus gained from Explosive Ire
• Stun/Paralyze | Disables the use of Heat Wave, until the start of Covam's next turn instead of removing its post action
• Shatter | Will reduce Covam’s mitigation by 50 instead the standard 20
• Fireproof | Prevents incoming Burn Damage or Burn applications excluding from Devil's Pinion
• Purify | Cleanses all instances of Burn instead of a specific instance from the entire party
• Bloodclot | As a post action, a player with this enhancement can choose to remove a stack of [We Are Legion] by closing the wound before another head sprouts.
• Frostbite | Upon applying this effect, a single extra attack gained from [We are Legion] is ignored until the end of Covam’s next turn.
• Frost Aura/Frost Thorns | Covam sustains double cold damage from these effects when activated
• Rampart | If used while at the highest hatred, rampart will absorb all damage Cataclysm deals in its entirety, providing -90% final damage and drawing all the damage to the user. When this occurs, BRN cannot be applied to the user through Cataclysm.
• Burn/Flame Thorns/Flame Aura/Immolation/Hellstorm | When applied, Covam will gain +25 Base Damage each instance as he burns hotter. This is done per source (Flame Aura is a separate source from Flame Thorns, which will trigger this effect twice if both are present). This bonus fades if any cold damage is dealt (Freeze, Frostbite, Frost Aura, Frost Thorns), but only if sustained after the triggering attack that causes his base damage to improve.
