Also known as Raskolnikov, he is one of Nod-Krai's Local Legend enemies who was introduced to players during the Luna I version. This boss was also featured during the Stygian Onslaught game mode for the Luna I version. He generates three Electro shields at certain intervals during the battle. His shield takes increased Electro and Lunar-Charged DMG.

Here are some of its rumored mechanisms for the Difficulties 1-4:

• Multi-Shield: The opponent will generate three Electro shields while they are charging up the Thundering Suite move. The shield will repair itself at some regular intervals. Furthermore, after destroying all of his shields, the enemy will be paralyzed, and he will be unable to use Thundering Suite. Electro and Lunar-Charged Reaction DMG is more effective in destroying these shields. Additional Elemental Orbs will also be generated for each layer of shield that is destroyed.
• Thundering Barrage: When the boss activates this move, he will deal Electro DMG with a large AoE effect, and he will continuously unleash special Electro attacks. If his Thundering Suite move is prevented, then his equipment will malfunction, and his Electro RES will be decreased by a significant amount.

• The enemy will gain three layers of shield, with each of their HP being 4.5% of his max HP. The shield takes 200% increased Lunar-Charged DMG and 600% Electro-Charged DMG. During this state, the boss's RES to all elements except Electro will be increased to 60%.
• The shield has a unique self-repair ability that restores its HP at regular intervals. The self-repair function is almost paused after it takes Electro or Lunar-Charged DMG.
• After breaking all of his shields within a short time, his RES to all elements will be reduced by 50%. After the boss recovers, his Electro RES decreases by 60%.
• The boss will lose 6% of his HP after each shield is destroyed. The boss will generate 18 Electro Energy and six other Energy when each layer of shield is destroyed.
