Recommended approach
Amon is the second launch dungeon boss — Dark element, recommended level 30, weak to Wind. Where Custos is a difficulty introduction, Amon is the first DPS check: HP sits at ~220,500 (triple Custos) at the same recommended level, with the same stagger gauge (~12,660 / groggy DEF 325). The math is straightforward: you need to bring real damage instead of just exploiting stagger windows.
Dark element means Light counters don't exist in the launch roster — Wind is the only elemental answer. Esther (SSR Wind Slayer) leads cleanly; Sangun (SSR Wind Brawler) provides counter-based burst; Jiwon (SSR Wind Supporter) enables both via Divine Harmony ATK buffs. F2P teams substitute Bonnie (free at launch) for Jiwon — clears slower but still reliably at recommended level.
Pull-priority for this fight: prioritise Esther as your first SSR pull if you can. The Esther + Sangun + Jiwon pure-Wind triple-DPS comp is the launch ceiling here. Without Esther, any Wind carry (Sangun, Bonnie's Tag-out Affliction) keeps the elemental amp alive — Amon is clearable F2P but feels slow without an SSR Wind lead.
Stagger windows
- Same stagger gauge as Custos (~12,660) but triple HP — once you break stagger, the burst window pays off proportionally.
- Dark element with single weakness (Wind) — clean elemental payoff with no element-locked phase shifts.
- 10 HP phases — multiple stagger windows over a longer fight, recovery-friendly.
- Groggy DEF only 325 — every Wind burst converts cleanly during stagger.
- Recommended level 30 — accessible right after Custos, paced into the launch progression.
- BIND animation type — same as Custos, limits team mobility but does not punish dodge play.
Boss threats
- Triple HP of Custos (~220k vs ~72k) — the first real DPS check; under-geared teams stall out.
- Dark element gates the elemental matchup to Wind only — no alternative element provides the same payoff.
- Without an SSR Wind carry (Esther / Sangun / Jiwon), the fight feels grindy — Bonnie + Wind SR carries clear but slowly.
- Stagger gauge does not auto-deplete — break it cleanly or recovery (10s) wastes your stagger build.
- Higher ATK on the boss compared to early dungeons — survival comp needed at low equipment level.
- Drop table is for Wind-themed crafting materials only — no character shards.
Recommended team
Best counter carry, best team comp, and farmable alternates to clear Amon.
Alt team comps
- Esther + Sangun + Bonnie (F2P-leaning) — Replace Jiwon with Bonnie (free at launch). Loses ~15% of the team Wind DMG ceiling, but Bonnie's Encore Canto (C2) makes up for it with team Crit DMG. Strong F2P option once Esther + Sangun are pulled.
- Sangun + Bonnie + Francis (pure F2P) — No SSR Wind Slayer. Sangun leads counter-bursts via Wild Fervor, Bonnie supports Wind Affliction, Francis covers heal. Slow clear but fully F2P-clearable at recommended level.
- Any non-Wind team (off-element) — Functional but inefficient — Amon resists all non-Wind elements at ~75%. Use only if you have no Wind carry. Stack Crit DMG substats and patient stagger management.

Combat stats (in-game, level 30)
- Element — Dark — neutralises any Dark-element attacks (none exist in the launch roster).
- Weakness — Wind — every Wind attack deals bonus damage; the Wind Slayer / Brawler role is the lead carry.
- HP — ~220,500 — triple Custos at the same recommended level. The first DPS check.
- ATK / DEF — 275 ATK / 543 DEF — same damage output as Custos, ~55% higher DEF.
- Stagger gauge — ~12,660 / Groggy DEF 325 — same as Custos. Triple HP means triple the burst windows needed.
- Recommended level — 30 — same as Custos but with Equipment ~Lv28+ realistic threshold.
- HP phases — 10 — paced for multiple stagger cycles.
- Stagger animation — BIND — limits mobility during groggy window.
Suggested clear rotation
Wind core rotation — Esther leads, Sangun counter-bursts, Jiwon enables.
- 1. Tag-In with Jiwon (Wind Supporter) — Open with Jiwon's Tag-In — Wind DMG + cluster pull + Divine Harmony ATK buff for the team. Sets up the burst window for Esther / Sangun.
- 2. Swap to Esther for sustained Wind damage — Esther's BA + Special chains push the stagger gauge and dump sustained Wind damage. Dust Cloud combo loop is the fight's main damage line.
- 3. Counter-bait with Sangun for Wild Fervor burst — When Amon telegraphs an attack, swap to Sangun and parry. Wild Fervor procs on counter — burst window opens with -10% per-strike DMG but +260% total DMG (C0 baseline).
- 4. Trigger stagger → dump Ult + Special during BIND window — Stagger gauge breaks after ~3-4 cycles. During the BIND, dump Esther's Ult + Sangun's Cataclysm (Wind Affliction + Tiger Strike state) + Jiwon's Ult. Highest single-instance damage of the fight.
- 5. Repeat — Amon has 10 HP phases — Triple-HP means triple the burst cycles. Recovery is 10s between staggers — position safely, build the gauge cleanly, dump the burst. Avoid hitting Amon while he counters; Sangun's counter window IS your damage window.

FAQ
- What is the recommended level for Amon?
- Recommended level 30. Equipment level ~Lv28+ is the realistic clear threshold — Amon is the first DPS check of the launch progression and demands more damage than Custos despite the same recommended level.
- What element should I use against Amon?
- Wind. Amon is Dark element and weak to Wind — every Wind attack deals bonus damage. No Light element exists in the launch roster, so Wind is the only elemental answer. Build the team around an Esther / Sangun / Jiwon Wind core.
- Can I clear Amon F2P?
- Yes, but slowly. Sangun + Bonnie + Francis (pure-SR Wind + Earth healer) clears at recommended level. Faster F2P clears require pulling Esther or Sangun via standard banner. Without any SSR Wind carry, expect 3-4 stagger cycles per clear.
- How much HP does Amon have?
- ~220,500 HP at level 30. Triple Custos at the same recommended level — the first DPS check of the launch progression. Fight typically ends in ~120-180 seconds with a geared Wind team.
- How do I break Amon's stagger gauge?
- Stagger gauge is ~12,660 with groggy DEF 325 — same as Custos. Wind Slayers / Brawlers fill it fastest via Special skills. Triple HP means you'll need 3-4 stagger cycles to clear, not 1-2. Sangun's counter-based Wild Fervor adds significant burst during stagger windows.
- Which character is best against Amon?
- Esther (SSR Wind Slayer) is the cleanest single-carry clear. Sangun (SSR Wind Brawler) provides counter-based burst. Jiwon (SSR Wind Supporter) enables both via Divine Harmony team ATK buff. The Esther + Sangun + Jiwon trio is the S-tier launch comp.
- Should I bring Francis to fight Amon?
- Yes if you need survival anchor. Francis's Earth Affliction is wasted on Amon (Dark resist), but her ATK-scaling Drug Field heal anchors the team during longer stagger cycles. Swap her for Jiwon if you have the SSR support — Wind synergy outweighs the heal.
- What does Amon drop?
- Wind-themed crafting materials used in the Abyss SSR set + Devourer Stance SR set + Wind weapon upgrades. Drops scale with Conquest difficulty tier — repeatable via Conquest tickets. Prioritise farming Amon for the Wind core's gear path.
- Does Amon have phases?
- 10 HP phases. Each phase opens a fresh stagger gauge that resets after recovery (10s if not broken). Triple HP of Custos means triple the burst cycles needed. Pace the fight around stagger cycles, not single-burst DPS.
- Why is Amon so much harder than Custos?
- Triple HP at the same recommended level. Custos is the launch difficulty introduction; Amon is the first real DPS check. Bring a dedicated Wind comp (Esther / Sangun / Jiwon or F2P substitutes) and ensure Equipment ~Lv28+ before queuing.
