Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network location

Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network attack patterns
It is not difficult to learn all its attacks, and below we will provide all the necessary information about each of them:
Zones with Lasers
In the beginning, this boss will constantly create blue zones with a lot of lasers. In fact, these zones are quite easy to avoid, but you need to be careful not to get into one. Once such a zone appears, you will have a few seconds to avoid it.
Drones
The boss will also periodically release drones that rotate and move around the ground. They will try to chase and attack you. Although their speed is usually faster than the player, it is quite easy to avoid them if you start gaining distance as soon as you see them. After a while, these drones will self-destruct.
Laser Cannons
Eventually, the boss uses two cannons and they will aim at you and fire lasers. Like all other objects, they can be destroyed. To avoid their attack, you just need to wait for a while. Before they start attacking, they will start rotating and at this point, so at this moment you need to run away.
Barrier Walls
Another of his attacks will be the release of barrier walls that will consist of hexagons. They will move in your direction and deal damage. To avoid them, you need to react in time and move behind the boss.
Tips and tricks to defeat Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network
To make this boss easier to beat, one of the recommendations is to have both Electro and Dendro units in your party. Apply the Quicken reaction while ASIMON is invisible to force it into a paralysed state, removing the core's invisibility.
After that, the boss will be inactive for a while and you will be able to attack it very effectively. Be sure to dole out as much damage as possible at this point. Electro DPS units are vital. At the same time, a character with the Dendro element will also be very useful when paired with Electro, creating a Quicken reaction. It's also a good idea to attack this boss as soon as you get the chance.
