Credits to ‪@FireyBombz‬ for helping me figure out a rotation!

After a nice little break from traditional Inn challenges, we've received another duo - one perfectly timed with the recent Soulweaver rework. At first glance, both Baltael and Danyel seem a bit annoying - high HP pools, lots of buffs (and debuffs) to play around and even some duo-specific mechanics like NA, IE and VR. Fortunately the fight is somewhat straightforward in practice, thanks to racial specials (Escelense and Vile Rose weapons specifically) - though you do still need to figure out what to prioritise shielding to have a chance of winning. After managing this consistent 48 turn clear with WISno, I would say it's a decently good matchup; that said, I would still advocate other classes like Ranger or SoulWeaver.

Similar to Masters of Wind, both bosses mainly use Wind attacks and buff their defences regularly. However, these bosses also have another interesting mechanic (Windward Soul); similar to Artix's mechanics, Windward Soul will track the amount of hits taken, inflicting +1 Health per hit in return, and if the enemy takes 50 hits they'll gain lots of Bonus, Boost and Damage Reduction for a few turns.

Even factoring out the duo mechanic aside, the individual bosses can still be quite frustrating to work around. For example, Baltael can;
permanently apply 90BPD to himself and Danyel
inflict -200 Crit for 3 turns, which can disrupt your attempts to nuke with Force or Grenades
permanently and sharply increase his Bonus (Shifting Storm) if you shield the first 'Storm' attack in his rotation
inflict -10 Wind, which can stack with -res debuffs from Danyel
inflict 'Breathless', a unique status that auto-adjusts any effects you apply to 1 turn duration

Meanwhile, Danyel;
has several attacks which can inflict a mixture of -All, -Boost, -MPMBPD and/or +Health
can fire off many high-hitcount or autocrit attacks depending on if you shield the first attack of his rotation
sharply increase his MPM/BPD and Damage Reduction for several turns
attempt to execute (insta-kill) you if you're below 30% HP on the final attack of his rotation

One more important tip to note is that both enemies have an interaction with stuns; Danyel can Sync with Baltael to increase his overall damage and buffs (as well as worsening the debuffs he can inflict), while Baltael can charge up a powerful nuke that will autocrit if uninterrupted. Stunning Danyel while he's Synced will weaken most of his attacks (which is why I stun him early on with Fumes), while stunning Baltael will ensure his nuke is a lot more manageable.
