Training Dummy

How to get it

Behind the Arena Trainer on Hydra Island (Third Sea). It respawns in 3 seconds, making it the fastest-respawning training target in the game.

Its quest

The Arena Trainer gives it, and it's only available once per hour.

Giver	Objective	Rewards
Arena Trainer	Defeat the Training Dummy	22,000 Beli, 40,000,000 EXP, 200 Fragments

How it fights

• Its weapon is a Dark Blade, but it doesn't use any of its skills - just M1 attacks.
• It swings its attacks as fast as a real Dark Blade, dealing the same damage or even more.
• It takes significantly less damage from standard M1 attacks than other enemies, particularly from fighting styles and swords.
• It has Aura, so Elemental immunity doesn't protect you from its attacks.
• It has the shortest aggression range in the game - it won't attack you until you've hurt it, or until you get within range of its sword after hitting it.
• Its base ATK is 1,100, reduced to 959.2 in practice.

The 2-second regeneration

Two seconds without taking a single hit and it restores all its health. It's the fastest regeneration in the game, so either you don't stop attacking or you kill it in one go.

Three clean ways to defeat it:

• spam the attack click with Instinct active;
• pull off a combo that one-shots it;
• use Prey Mark from transformed T-Rex M1s.

Note: the rip_indra boss from the Second Sea, the one you need to beat to progress to the Third Sea, is just a reskin of the Training Dummy, with simply a longer delay before it regenerates.

Attacks that don't hit it

Its area blocks several ranged moves:

• the [Z] of Kabucha;
• the [M1] of the Skull Guitar;
• the [X] of Spikey Trident, called Flying Trident Pull.

The Fandom gives two explanations for the same phenomenon: an "invisible barrier" around the dummy in its Notes, and a hitbox modification of the area in its Trivia. The result is the same - these moves don't connect.

Combos that don't work on it

Enemies have no delay between their attacks and their projectiles, and they're directly connected to the server - they play with 0 ping. As a result, a combo that works on a player can be interrupted on the dummy, which moves very far back instantly.

Examples cited by the source:

• Godhuman [C] chained into Kitsune [F] or Gas [Z];
• Phoenix [C] chained into a Phoenix M1;
• Godhuman [C] chained into Quake [Z].

What it drops

• Nothing at all, except quest completion.
• The Fandom cites three exceptions: Tiger (both versions), Mammoth (transformed), and Kitsune (both versions). However, it doesn't specify what these three get in addition.

Good to know

• It's the reference training target for testing combos - very resistant, but it respawns in 3 seconds and only uses M1 attacks.
• It has no useful immunity tiers - its Aura negates the Elemental passive regardless of your level.
