How to defeat Secret Source Automaton Hunter-Seeker

The Secret Source Automaton Hunter-Seeker has increased RES against all types of damage in its normal state. Hence, overcoming it during this point can be difficult. However, there is a way to defeat it easily by creating an opening.

The Secret Source Automaton Hunter-Seeker charges itself around characters using their Nightsoul abilities. Once it is charged, it unleashes a powerful laser attack and loses all the increased RES. As such, players must use their Nightsoul abilities to enable the foe to use its laser attack and then use the opportunity to finish it off.
