Strategy

KILL. ON. SIGHT.

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 these guys tend to come with extremely heavy hitters, meaning if they get a hit off under that effect, someone is going to drop like a rock. 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 well as two of those they come with already threatening a devastating crit. Swipe is perhaps their most preferable 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 will just 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 praying 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 get their infamous attack off, 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.

In summary: the real best option for fighting BSTRDlights is asking someone to keep Velzie entertained for you.
