Enemy

Unlike any other non-event enemy, Elder Flame Doron flees after attacking a Cat Unit. He has massive health and attack power, above-average standing range, an Omni Strike that reaches to -1,000~600 range, a somewhat slow attack animation, a 100% chance to create level 8 Surge Attacks that last for 5.33 seconds between 500 and 1,000 range, a 100% chance to weaken all Cat Units hit to 1% for 40 seconds, as well as immunity to many effects.

Strategy

You can't prevent his attacks, but you can stay safe by spamming meatshields and fighting far from the Cat Base. If you fight close to your base, the Surge will knockback your cats when they spawn and the Ragin' Gories and other enemies will be able to attack your base. If he attacks in the middle of the field, the Surge won't do anything more than kill some of your frontline attackers. Using anything that could curse Elder Flame Doron could prevent him from weakening your cats' attack power to absolutely nothing, although all the available units with this ability against Relics are Uber Rare Cats, outside of well, Curseblast. If this does not suffice, using Surge-immune cats is equally effective, as they are immune to the weaken effect by proxy because of their immunity to Elder Flame Doron's Surge. However, be wary of his initial attack; in this case, Cats with Weaken Immunity are ideal.

Trivia

• Doron (どろん) is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a person or creature vanishing, such as a ninja concealing themselves with a smoke screen.
• His Japanese name (古神炎ドロン Ko Kamien Doron) may contain a subtle pun: 神炎 kamien ("god-flame") sounds almost like 仮面 kamen ("mask").
• When unmasked, he looks fairly similar to a Boo from the Mario franchise.
• He is currently the only Relic enemy that doesn't inflict the curse effect.
• He is currently the only self-destructive enemy to appear outside of Event Stages.
• He has the highest Surge level and is tied with Freshman Cat Jobs for the strongest weaken of any character in the game, weakening units to 1% damage.
