General Battle Mechanics

• Lava Chromanium operates almost the same way as regular Chromanium.

• You must still break its armor, but both destruction and penetration skills work on its armor.

• Consider using a corrosion bomb before having your party apply any parts destruction effects.

• Lava Chromanium does not inherit the "must break armor to start dealing normal damage" mechanic.

• Every time Lava Chromanium runs, you must break its armor all over again.

• When the bosses armor is still intact, the boss will periodically call down meteors every ~18 seconds.

• The meteors knock you down and deal a decent amount of damage.

• After breaking the bosses armor, the boss will run away after ~3 minutes.

• To prevent the boss from running away during this time, you must knock the boss.

• Knocking the boss makes it so the 2nd and 3rd knock become easier.

• The boss will always run shortly after the 3rd knock. (Unconfirmed, I need more info)

• The boss takes extra damage when knocked just like regular Chromanium.

• Because the boss doesn't run away unless the armor breaks, sometimes teams would just bring full damage team comps with few parts destruction skills to DPS the turtle down.

• The boss will periodically spawn volcanoes.

• Usually teams only kill one volcano to make sure they have room to DPS as referenced below in the video.

• Teams may sometimes use a whirlwind bombs or ults to hit both the volcano and boss to not lose DPS.

• If you opt to not kill at least 1 volcano, make sure to drag the boss out.

• The volcanoes will spew rain around itself after a time.

• The volcanoes will explode after a time. Make sure you're not near the volcano when it happens.

• It has a large explosion radius as you can see in the below video.

• At around 30% health, the boss will periodically use an AoE flame that spreads outwards.

Moveset

Rain

• This move is only used when the boss still has its armor. Burrows into the ground and then uses rain.

• The boss may use this move after a "lunge forward - turn body slam" chain or after a single lunge forward.

• While the boss may not always burrow after these attacks, the burrow is always preceded by these attacks.

Eruption (2 Types)

• The 1st type is exactly the same as the move used by regular Chromanium.

• The second type of eruption is used after a set attack sequence.

• Gathers air near his legs before jumping up -> Turn Body Slam -> Lunge Forward -> Eruption.

• If you have a warlord in your party, the warlord can always interrupt the boss by taunting.

• You can see the boss being taunted in the middle of its attack sequence.

Flame Breath (2 Types)

• The boss telegraphs this by gathering air and by "sliding" to its aggroed target before using the attack.

• The attack zone covers a 180 degree cone.

• This flame breath is also telegraphed by gathering air and "sliding" to its aggroed target.

• Instead of covering a 180 cone, it covers a straight line.

Body Slam (3 Types)

• Frontal body slam.

• Side body slam.

• Turns and jumps while doing a body slam.

Body Slam (3 Types)

• Single lunge.

• Double lunge.
  

• Double lunge but switches directions after the 1st lunge.
  

Cannon

• Single cannon shot AoE.

Bombardment

• Multiple small AoEs.

General Battle Mechanics

• The bosses dark attacks will apply a stacking debuff. Each debuff reduces armor by 10%.

• The boss has 2 phases and an enrage phase. When you first encounter the boss, it will be in his 1st Phase.

• When the boss TP's away, it will start at his 2nd Phase.

• The 2nd phase is signaled by an AoE rain. There are 2 situations where this can occur.

• The 1st situation is after the 1st knockdown. After getting back up, it will do it's AoE attack.

• If you don't knock the boss, the boss will automatically use the AoE rain after ~3-4 minutes.

• This starts the 2nd phase.

• During the 2nd phase, the boss will periodically call down 4-5 dark orbs that move toward the boss.

• The orbs can be staggered and the boss will not absorb them when the orbs are being engaged.

• Allowing the boss to absorb ~4-5 orbs will enrage the boss. The enraged mode is signal by this attack.

• Enraged mode will give the boss new and stronger attacks as well as higher attack speed.

• You will also know when it's enraged when its eyes glow blue and leave an afterimage when moving.

• The boss will still call down orbs, but these orbs are grayish in color and don't move to the boss.

• Moving close to these orbs will make the orbs move toward you.

• They explode on contact and apply the armor debuff.

• Once enraged, you have to knock the boss to make it go back to its 2nd phase.

• This is shown below. Once the boss gets back up from its knockdown, the stationary orbs disappear.

• The soulmaster ult is not the one clearing the orbs.

Moveset (1st Phase)

Tail Swipe

• The tail swipe can be confusing for newer players.

• The tail swipe telegraph is easy to notice. The boss will look back at the side it wants to swing its tail to.

• The tail will be brought down in the middle. The boss will move diagonally to the other side.

• Then the boss will tail swipe the side it was originally looking at.

• Easiest way for melee to dodge all future swipe attacks is to stand diagonally to the boss's back.

• This way, you dodge the initial tail swipe slam down the middle.

• Then you move towards the middle where the tail landed to dodge the swipe.

Charge

• The boss will telegraph its charge. There will be an AoE around himself at the end location of its charge.

Double Pound

• Self-explanatory.

Single Pound

• Self-explanatory.

Double Pound into Single

• Self-explanatory.

Combo Pounds

• When the boss switches aggro, the boss likes turning around and following up with a pound attack.

Sky Attack

• Jumps up into the air for a bit before landing forward and doing a cone AoE attack.

Sky Drop

• Flies up into the air before landing back down on a target.

Backstep

• No damage for 1st phase backstep.

Moveset (2nd Phase - Inherits 1st Phase Moves)

Upgraded Backstep

• The backstep during the 2nd Phase spawns whirlwinds that move forward.

• 2 whirlwinds spawn in front before the whirlwinds on the side.

• You can dodge the whirlwinds as shown below if you're in front when this happens.

Rain

• Flies slowly up into the air before using its rain attack.

• Safe spot is in the middle. Before it lands, make sure to dash out of the safe area before it lands.

Shadow Ball

• Arches its back before launching a shadow ball at a target.

Triple Shadow Ball

• An orb appears at the front before the boss splits it into three orbs that go outward.

Moveset (Enraged Mode - Inherits Previous Phase Moves)

Enraged Charge

• When enraged, its charge becomes almost instant and he uses it back to back.

Enraged Shadow Ball

• Arches up and uses a huge shadow ball attack.
