Active right now — rotation pinned to Wednesday.

TL;DR — Wednesday Infinity Boss

Vento Aureo assassin. He stealths and takes -80% damage from ranged attacks while stealthed — Ranged-class carries are the worst possible pick.

⚠ The danger

Putting a Ranged-class carry in the top-DPS slot. Mista, Hol Horse, Sale, F.F., Caesar all eat the 80% reduction for most of the fight.

How to beat Risotto Nero

Melee burst is the only damage profile that bypasses his stealth ranged DR. Bruno, Diavolo's damage Ult, Giorno's damage build, Prosciutto all hit at full power through the stealth. After a Stance break, his ranged DR is nullified for 10 seconds — that's the only window where Ranged kits actually contribute, so save their Ults for then. He teleports every 30 seconds, so time burst BETWEEN teleports for full hit confirmation.

Damage levers

Infinity Bosses have infinite HP — the only thing that matters is how much damage you can squeeze out. These are the levers that scale damage in this specific fight.

Melee carries — Bruno, Diavolo B, Giorno A, Prosciutto bypass the 80% ranged DR entirely.
Stance break window — ranged DR drops to 0 for 10s; save ranged Ults for this slot.

Boss skills

4 skills. Every description below is the in-game skill text exactly as the game presents it — no paraphrasing, no fan summaries.

Active CD 15s

Risotto generates “Iron Caltrops” in the area with the most enemies.

Passive

Risotto Nero enters stealth, reducing damage taken from ranged attacks by 80%.

Ultimate

When Risotto's Energy is maxed, he hurls 13 throwing daggers towards the enemy with the highest HP, each dealing damage equal to 300% of Attack.

Passive

Every 30 seconds, Risotto moves to a position symmetrical to his current location. When Risotto's Stance Bar depletes, he becomes stunned for 10 seconds, during which all his movement actions are skipped. In addition, Risotto's damage resistance against ranged attacks is nullified during this period.

Stance Bar — the only burst window that matters

Infinity Bosses have infinite HP. Your score is your total damage output, not a kill. Every boss has a Stance Bar above its health bar. Empty it and the boss is stunned for 5-10 seconds and takes +100% damage from all sources — that window is the entire game. Crowd control (Stun, Freeze, Silence, Banish, Suppress) does NOT actually control the boss. Bruno's Zipper Space banish, Mariah's Magnetic Force Stun, Joseph's Hermit Purple bind — none of them lock the boss in place. They earn their slot because CC effects deal bonus Stance damage, which shortens the time to break.

Save every Ultimate for the Stance break — the +100% modifier doubles the burst.
CC kits are useful for Stance damage contribution, not for shutting the boss down.
Don't burn damage during invulnerability phases (Cool Ice flight, F.F. split, etc.) — Stance can't drop there either.

⚠ Don't bring

Ranged-class top DPS — Mista, Hol Horse, Sale, F.F., Caesar all eat the 80% reduction.
Ulting on the 30-second beat — that's right on his teleport. Burst between teleports.

Boss numbers explained

Risotto Nero's combat stats at Hell, the top difficulty. Each card says what the number does and whether it's unusual for an Infinity Boss — so you can see at a glance what makes this fight different.

Attacks per cycle (Hell)

In line with a typical Infinity Boss.

Damage Reduction

10,000

In line with a typical Infinity Boss — it shrugs off a flat chunk of every hit.

Secondary Defense

20,000

In line with a typical Infinity Boss — a second defense layer on top of normal Defense.

Crit Resistance (Hell)

40,968

How well the boss resists YOUR crits. To reach the +90% Crit Boost cap your attacker needs Crit ≈ 47,468, which no realistic build hits — so for Hell content lean Crit Damage % + Final Damage % over raw Crit Boost.

Crit Damage (Hell)

34,140

The boss's own Crit Damage multiplier — used when the boss crits you. Most Infinity Bosses don't deal real damage from their Attack stat, so this only really hurts on F.F. (the only boss in the rotation with a real Attack value).

How the difficulties scale

Climbing from Normal to Hell only grows two things: Crit Resistance (how hard it is for YOU to crit the boss) and Crit Damage (its own crit multiplier). Defense, attack pattern and speed never change. So a higher tier is the same fight where your crit chance suffers more — pick the highest row your team can survive.
