루퍼트 도스타 (Rupert Dostar)

더 컴퍼니(The Company)의 수장이었던 오코넬 파브릭의 후계자로 가장 주목을 받았던 인물이다.

실력과 인품을 두루 갖춘 인물로, 오코넬을 대신하여 전장에서 함께 싸우는 리더 역할을 맡고 있었다.

루퍼트는 차기 수장이라는 말에 늘 겸손히 사양할 정도로 자리에 대한 욕심이 없었지만, 적의 습격으로 끔찍한 오코넬의 죽음 이후 수장의 자리를 오래 비울 수 없다는 슈미트의 설득에 어쩔 수 없이 승낙하게 된다.

루퍼트는 특기인 첩보 활동을 살려 더 컴퍼니의 활동 범위를 넓혔으며 무기 개량과 기술 발전에도 힘써, 오코넬이 더 컴퍼니를 이끌던 때 이상으로 더 컴퍼니를 부흥하게 했다.

As an Enemy

Rupert Dostar

Type

During his boss fight in Noblesse Code, Rupert wields a Offensive & Defensive Stance Similarly to Red Leg Arketo in Prey-Isys Raid. He has the ability to switch stances after a certain amount of seconds has gone by through a timer gauge below, mostly using various skills from Hitman, Secret Agent, and Specialist due to carrying a Core Blade.

Move Set

• Offensive Stance: While in this stance, Rupert dashes around the room using  Agile Maneuver as he performs:
  •  Surprise Attack
  •  Angle Shot
  •  Final Strike
  •  Black Crescent
  •  Consecutive Shots
  •  Divide Earth: During either stance, he'll use a Specialist skill by charging up his Core Blade, striking the area in front of him, and then slashes upward. There is a suction properity added at the end of Defensive Stance.

• Defensive Stance: In this stance, Rupert can block all incoming damage and counters back with either Offensive Stance skills and does a  Rolling Move while following up with  Double Barrels.

• ACR-O: Rupert stands still with a red circle expanding around him, if anyone is within that range, he'll push them back as he takes out his Core Blade that transforms into a Sniper Rifle, while preparing to fire out a red energy projectile directly at their front direction.

Berserk:

• It's time to end this: When Rupert's HP reach 50% alongside the Counter Gauge at 100%, both he and the player gets into a Dueling Sequence that's identical to the one seen in Echon - The Strong. As Rupert prepares to charge up for an attack with his Core Blade, the goal is to repeatedly press buttons on the keyboard until a blue gauge overpowers his orange one. If done successfully, the player tackles Rupert and puts him in a Unstable Stance with his defenses lowered.

Strategy

• Like many bosses such Mateka, Arketo, Axion and Eucild who all have counter patterns and whenever a yellow light flashes on any of Rupert's attacks, landing a counter at the right time can cause him to stagger for a few seconds, countering him three times puts him in a mini-groggy state. If you're playing on Master Difficulty, the amount of counters are increased to four instead.
• He is very susceptible to  Slow Down (Status) and  Bleeding (Status), so any equipment or skills that specializes in either status effect, can easily deplete his Incapacitation Gauge.
• There is a Counter Gauge above that rises up at either a successful counter or blocking attacks on his respective stances:
  • 10% on Normal - Expert Mode, 6% on Master. (Offensive)
  • 2% per block on Normal - Expert. (Defensive)
