“	I've always wished to be a bud, soon to burst into bloom. Shrouded in scent all over the body… Even if this is my own heart-wrenching path, understood by no one… I'll still leave behind a morrow, strong and fertile like fallen petals.	”

Behavior

One core mechanic of this battle is the Blooming status effect. Upon any sinner reaching 5 stacks of this debuff, a Fully Bloomed Flower will spawn, and the Sinner will be trapped within it, untargetable by all.

If all sinners are trapped in a Fully Bloomed Flower or Dead and Dongbaek is staggered, nobody will be capable of inputting any actions that turn. Because of this, the game will register it as a Defeat and end the battle. This is important to keep in mind for the turns where Dongbaek uses Magnificent Spring Breeze in phase 1, as if she is staggered on the following turn yet all the sinner

If Dongbaek is staggered while any sinners are trapped within the flowers, they will be freed from the flowers. However, if she is staggered the turn that a sinner will be put into the flower (such as from landing Magnificent Spring Breeze), then any sinners placed into flowers on the turn she is staggered will remain in the flowers.

If a sinner has 5 stacks of Blooming, but is slain by the end of turn, an empty Fully Bloomed Flower will spawn instead, using the same sprite as the Soon-to-bloom flowers.

Attack Pattern

Spicebush Dongbaek can be broken up into 2 phases.

Phase 1

This initial patterns consists of the first two turns of the battle. Dongbaek will use the following skills over these two turns, no matter what.
- Pungent Fragrance, Pungent Fragrance, Scattering Fragrance, Piquant Scent
- Pungent Fragrance, Like Flowers in Full Bloom..., Scattering Fragrance, Piquant Scent

At the start of turn 3, an animation will play as Dongbaek transforms the arena to one that matches her EGO. She also spawns up to 4 Soon-to-bloom Flower based on the number of Fully Bloomed Flower on the field. For example, if 2 sinners are trapped in Fully Bloomed Flower, then she will only spawn 2 Soon-to-bloom Flower. Following this, Dongbaek will repeat the following pattern until the next phase of the battle (which starts when she reaches 50% HP):
- Scattering Fragrance, Flowering Buds, Flowering Buds, Piquant Scent
- Pungent Fragrance, Like Flowers in Full Bloom..., Like Flowers in Full Bloom..., Piquant Scent
- Awaiting the Moment, Awaiting the Moment, Awaiting the Moment
- Magnificent Spring Breeze, Magnificent Spring Breeze, Pungent Fragrance, Piquant Scent
- On that final turn after using Magnificent Spring Breeze, Dongbaek staggers herself. Then she repeats this loop from the beginning.

If all sinners are in Fully Bloomed Flowers, and Dongbaek is not staggered, she will use the following skill:
- Culminating Fragrance

Phase 2

Phase 2 can also be broken down into two parts. The first part is the default pattern that lasts until Dongbaek loses 10% of her health. In this part, Dongbaek will use the following rotation:
- Magnificent Spring Breeze, Scattering Fragrance, Scattering Fragrance, Piquant Scent
- Scattering Fragrance, Flowering Buds, Flowering Buds, Piquant Scent
- Pungent Fragrance, Like Flowers in Full Bloom..., Like Flowers in Full Bloom..., Piquant Scent
- Magnificent Spring Breeze, Flowering Buds, Flowering Buds, Piquant Scent

Once Dongbaek has taken enough damage in phase 2, she will enter the dueling phase. She will use the following skill set first:
- Must Cover With Dirt, Awaiting the Moment, Awaiting the Moment, Awaiting the Moment
Then she will use the following skill for the next two turns.
- Withering Flower
After the duel phase ends, Dongbaek will go back to the above default pattern until the end of the battle.

If all sinners are in Fully Bloomed Flowers (including those who are still in flowers after Dongbaek wins the duel), and Dongbaek is not staggered, she will use the following skill:
- Culminating Fragrance

Parts

Like most abnormality encounters with human enemies, Dongbaek is made up of just the body part, making the additional parts mechanic a formality. The part will never break as it shares a health pool with Dongbaek herself. It is notable that at the start of phase 2, the body will regenerate to full health. This is largely irrelevant as Spicebush does not have stagger thresholds.
