Guide

The Abductor is weak to lightning-aspected phantom job actions.

The arena is surrounded by an AoE that will instantly kill anyone who touches it.

Name	Description
Wind Blade	A telegraphed 180 degree frontal cleave.
Skydive or Cyclonic Ring (no cast bar)	Abductor will move to a random location and glow either orange, denoting a late-telegraphed large point-blank AoE, or green, denoting a late-telegraphed donut AoE.
Plumefall Trap	Spawns four untargetable Abductor's Plume adds. A few seconds later, these will all use large, late-telegraphed point-blank AoEs (Splinter).
Buffet (no cast bar)	The combat message A faint wind stirs... will appear, and a wind will become blowing from one direction. A few seconds later, the message The wind begins to rage! will display, and the wind will intensity. A few seconds later, players will be knocked back around the radius of the arena from the wind direction. The knockback can be prevented with immunities.
Hurricane	Raidwide magical damage and spawns two untargetable Biting Wind tornadoes that will damage anyone and lightly knock back who contacts them (Strong Wind), although touching them does not inflict Vulnerability Up stacks. These will begin rotating in opposite directions and alternate using Tendon Ripper, a telegraphed "starburst" pattern of line AoEs. The tornado using Tendon Ripper will briefly stop moving before the attack snapshots.
Buffet (no cast bar)	Similar as before, but the tornadoes will still be active, and one will use Tendon Ripper after the knockback.
Wind Blade	Similar to before, but the boss will jump to near the edge of the arena, and the tornadoes are still active.
Plumefall Trap + Aerosnare	Spawns four more Abductor's Plume orbs. The boss will re-center and use three telegraphed 120 degree cleaves, followed by another three that in the previous safe areas. The first set of cleaves goes off with the Splinter point-blank AoEs from the orbs.

Notes

• Completing this CE while A Familiar Issue is active will award an Abductor's Horn, which is needed to complete the quest.
• This CE automatically spawns. Defeating Crescent Wraiths does not trigger the spawn.
