The Rana is an enemy in Alabaster Dawn. It is a frog-like Nuemera with a rubbery-looking purple body.
Ranas are encountered twice during the Trial of Aether.

Combat
Ranas are weak to Aether but resistant to other elements. The first Rana encountered is therefore difficult to damage with a Physis loadout, but later Ranas are placed near an Aether Aspect Panel, which converts attacks to Aether and trivializes the matchup.
They alternate between two attacks:
Aether orb: shoots a large slow-moving Aether orb at Juno. The orb homes on her position and lasts a long time, but standard attacks can destroy it before contact.
Sky slam: flies high into the air and slowly floats toward Juno. On reaching her, or after enough time, it slams down to the ground in a large Aether explosion.
Ranas do not have a Break Bar, so the usual break-damage shortcut does not apply. They have to be killed through HP.
Tips
Use an Aether Aspect Panel whenever one is in the room; the elemental conversion is the cleanest way to push damage.
During the sky slam wind-up, sprint sideways instead of dodging. The slow float-down lets the AOE catch a panicked dash but not a steady run.
Kill the Aether orb mid-flight with Bogha Solas. A Pierce shot pops the orb cleanly and frees Juno to commit to the next Rana attack.
