BSTRDlights are enemies found within the optional BSTRDized section of Recollection: Collapse. They are Veilklights modified by their namesake to fit a more chaotic debuffer archetype of enemies.
Actions
BSTRDlights will only use Unfair Advantage if they are the only enemy left alive.

Strategy
BSTRDlights should ideally be one of the first enemies downed due to their very dangerous debuffer archetype.
BSTRDlights are exceptionally dangerous enemies in any situation, and are infamous for the sheer threat they pose, all thanks to their ability to inflict the entire battlefield with destabilization. On its own, this is already pretty threatening, but what makes it worse is that BSTRDlights tend to come with extremely heavy hitters like Archival Golems, meaning if those enemies get a hit off under that effect, a party member is very likely going to be downed. Their other options aren't exactly comforting either, with Quick Mend and Spy borrowed from the Veilklights they come from, problematic with the vein exclusive enemies not actually starting at max HP, as with the two of those they come with already threatening devastating crits. Swipe is perhaps their most tame attack, having low danger and only inflicting puncture if it crits. And to top it all off, if you kill the enemies they support, they can resurrect their fallen allies, who will often get their turn to attack immediately after.
As stated at the beginning, BSTRDlights should be focused down immediately while hoping they don't use Destabilize Thoughtspace. When it comes to preventing them from using it in the first place, Akizet is the best bet for inflicting stun, with kavrukas being serviceable (perhaps more so) in a pinch. If they manage to destabilize the thoughtspace, don't panic immediately, as with the right handling, it can be used as a major boon in battle. A team-wide focus is often the best play afterwards, keeping you mostly safe while you prepare a powerful counter-attack.
Trivia
- BSTRDlights do not appear in ::/FRAME/. This trait is shared with the Damaged Golem, Movefoe, Tendrils, Translation Core, Hallucinations, and the Foundation Golem.
