Boss abilitiesEdit

Name	Skill	Description
Ancient Lich King	Exploit Soul	Attacks all enemies, recovering 50% of the damage dealt as HP. The damage of Exploit Soul increases permanently every time the skill is used.
	Imprison Soul	Imprisons the soul of the enemy that has dealt the most damage and controls the enemy. (Reusable in 4 turns)
	The Time of the Dead (Passive)	The Attack Speed of all enemies and allies is suppressed and cannot exceed a certain cap. Also, all skill effects that influence the Attack Bar will not be activated. [Automatic Effect]
	Soul Barrier (Passive)	Each turn, a barrier that nullifies a certain number of attacks is generated. When attacked without the barrier, the MAX HP decreases by 30% of the incoming damage. [Automatic Effect]
	Fallen Immortal (Passive)	Revives with 50% HP at the moment of death. Will not be able to receive beneficial effects during battle, but instead is immune to silence or cool time increasing skill effects. [Automatic Effect] (Reusable in 9 turns)

B10 statisticsEdit

Additional notesEdit

• Imprison Soul:
  • Imprisoned allies gain 100% Attack Bar when stolen and move immediately.
  • When an ally monster is imprisoned, the monster's skills are refreshed and are available to use against the player.
  • Imprisoned ally will be returned at 50% HP after defeating it.
  • Imprison skill bypasses immunity and invincible state.
• The Time of the Dead:
  • Speed limit is 130.
  • Speed buff raises speed over the limit.^[4]
  • Applying the slow debuff on the boss also works.
  • Speed leader skills will not go over the limit.
• Soul Barrier:
  • Soul Barrier is not a buff, it is a passive, so it cannot be removed by buff removal.
  • Debuffs on the boss can only be applied when Soul Barrier is down.
  • Using monsters with multi-hit attacks is a good tactic for clearing the soul barrier, e.g. Colleen.
  • Soul Barrier is not an invincibility effect, and cannot be bypassed by skills like Cassie's 3rd skill "Devil's bullet" or Samurais' secret skill "Sword of the Supreme Sky Wolf".
  • Violent & Revenge runes are useful for depleting the Soul Barrier.
• Turn order is important in defeating this boss. Players are recommended to tune the Speed of their monsters to suit their Necropolis team. Generally, monsters with multi-hit skills are set the fastest while Speed debuffers and attackers are set slower.
• Continuous Damage and Bombs deal their damage, but do not decrease the boss's maximum Hit Points according to the Soul Barrier passive "...MAX HP decreases by 30% of the incoming damage," whether the shield is up or down.

Lich King quotesEdit

• "This Dungeon is always open. From here you can collect the Rage Rune Set. A superior grade of Rune sets that can be collected in Scenario mode can also be collected."
