Recommended Team Setup

Bard

Heavy Impairment

Optional Items

Panacea | Talisman | Whirlwind Bomb

Recommended Runes

Fire Resistance | Burn Immunity

General Battle Mechanics

• Most of Hellgaia's attacks apply a burn debuff which can stack.

• Gaining too many burn debuffs will make your health disappear relatively quickly.

• Use a panacea in case that ever happens to remove the debuff.

• Every 40 to 50 seconds, Hellgaia will try to evolve. The team must use their impairment skills to interrupt.

• If you fail to break the boss, the boss will create an AoE explosion around him.

• Most teams on Korean release did 431, i.e. Break the first 4 evolves, let it evolve, break the next 3 evolves,let it evolve, break.

• I don't know how much easier it is now to break Hellgaia on RU.

• During the time you want to let him evolve, have a bard either ult so you can keep damaging the boss.

• Either that or all of you run away from the boss. Sometimes a bard shield may even be enough.

• There are 3 phases, with the 2nd and 3rd phase adding a new move and an upgraded move.

• The sequence goes like this: 1st phase -> evolve -> 2nd phase -> evolve -> 3rd phase.

• After it evolves 2 times, it won’t try to evolve anymore. You must knock the boss ASAP.

• After you knock the boss, the boss will do a sky attack, then shout before running away.

• Having it run away resets it back to the 1st phase.

• If your team don't have enough impairment, consider doing 331 or maybe even less breaks.
• Other variations include 401, where you try and reset the boss asap to the 1st phase.
• This is because the sky attacks during 2nd phase are one of the most annoying attacks in his kit.

Moveset (1st Phase)

Swipes (2 Types)

• Tail swipe. Safe area is right up on Hellgaia's butt. The damage cone is away from the butt.
  

• Wing swipe. Again, the safe area is right on Hellgaia's butt.

Beak Attacks (2 Types)

• Single beak attack which sends you flying up to the bosses backside.

• Double peck on the ground which staggers.

Fireball

• Fires a projectile.

Charge

• If you're caught at the front, it will send you flying backwards at the end of the attack.

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

Upgraded Fireball

• Single fireball turns into three.

Sky Attack

• If you're standing directly on Hellgaia's butt, you will have an annoying time trying to dodge this attack.

• Her body blocks you if you try dashing through her.

• Best to stay on the left side or right side of the butt.

• This way you can still back attack and dash perpendicular to the boss.

• This upgraded charge leaves a trail of fire.
  

• Hellgaia will slowly ascend into the sky and bombard you with fire. 
• Use the nearest ladder or rope to move to another area unless you're super confident in dodging its attacks. Its attacks won't hurt you there.
• After a short time it will land.

Guardian Raid T2-1: Chromanium

Clips from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LFYB-6e1Ko

Recommended Team Setup

Destruction

Heavy Impairment

Useful Items

Beginner Bomb

Optional Items

Corrosion Bomb | Destruction Bomb | Whirlwind Bomb

General Battle Mechanics

• Use all your bombs and destruction skills on CD to break the turtle's shell ASAP.

• Your team must also use all the skills that impair the boss .

• Your team will do severely reduced damage until that happens.

• Damage done to the boss is increased when the boss experiences a full knockdown.
• You will deal decreased damage until you break the armor and do at least 1 full knockdown.
• If you just knock the boss without breaking the armor, you will deal reduced damage once he gets back up.
• IMPORTANT: Save all the skills that do not cause destruction or impairment for the 1st knockdown.
• Use all burst skills once this happens like bard ultimate and crit buff, soulmaster buffs, etc.
• After the boss runs away, you will not have to break its armor again.
• But you still will have to knock the boss to do full damage again.

• The sounds are different for both animations.

• Turtle gets back up quickly for his armor break, but a full knockdown lasts for a much longer time.

• After you experience it in the game, it should be easy to differentiate between an armor break and a knock.

• The below video is reference for both knock (1st), and armor break (2nd) sounds.

Moveset

Stones

• Charges up, hops up, then fall back down. You will see something swirling on his legs.

• Either he will go back to his normal attack rotation or he will follow up with a large AoE attack.

• If you want to be extra safe, just move away regardless and wait.

• He will lift up his front two legs, and then will followup with an aftershock. Move away to a safe distance.

Cannon (2 Types)

• The cannon glows orange as it fires.

• The first type is a single cannon shot that hits multiple times in a single area.

• The cannon glows purple as it fires.
• The second type is a cannon shot which drops a orb drone that follows the target.
• If you get hit, you get stunned for a short amount of time.

• Instead of a normal cannon shot, Chromanium will fire multiple shots.
  

• Side slam. Easily telegraphed.
  

• Front slam. Easily telegraphed.

• Summons four orbs. When summoned, slows users around the turtle. Deals damage around the orbs.

Breath (2 Types)

• Line breath.

• Single forward jump.
  

• Double jump. Sometimes the boss likes to jump multiple times in succession.

• His cannon shot will leave behind a persistent AoE on the floor.

Guardian Raid T1-4: Dark Regi

Orsted and his guildmates

Recommended Team Setup

Any

General Battle Mechanics

• Getting hit by magic attacks will apply darkness stacks. Receiving darkness stacks reduces vision.

• At 4 darkness stacks, Dark Regi will blink and reappear behind the guy and attack with double claws.

• Keep the boss pinned to a wall so you do not need to move around much. 

• Reference below. Boss jumps back to a wall, reducing the need to chase after it.

Non-Combo Moveset

Breath

• Stationary breath attack.

• The first type is inner rain.

• The second type is an outer bombardment telegraphed by the boss standing on his hind legs.

• After the outer, will he do an AoE explosion around himself after it ends, so run away after.

• The 1st is a double side to side swipe. First swipes clockwise, does a 180, then swipes counterclockwise.
• Dodge by moving side to side or having a bard shield the team.

• Double frontal swipe.

Combo Moveset

Charge -> Blink or Backstep

• Telegraphed by his right leg winding up. (Left from this PoV).

• If you have a warlord, you can taunt him. Do not taunt him before he rushes.

• After charging, he can do one of two things. The first thing he can do is a backstep.

Backstep -> Breath

• Backsteps into a breath attack. Make sure to either chase ASAP or run away from the breath.
  

Blink -> Breath or Double Swipe

• After blinking, the boss will reappear elsewhere and might use double swipe.

• After blinking, the boss will reappear elsewhere and might use breath.

Guardian Raid T1-3: Ice Regioros

Clips from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FliADn3W07g

Recommended Team Setup

Any

General Battle Mechanics

• Most players (melee) have problems dodging this one skill where the boss jumps backwards.

• After jumping backwards, he uses frost breath as shown below.

• This move is telegraphed by doing a 360 while backstepping.

• You just have to ready to dodge ASAP after it backsteps.

• Sometimes it does a shout before doing it, but not all the time. This is also a telegraph for another move.

• If you knock/break the boss, it will do an explosion AoE around itself after getting back up.

• Make sure to run away before it recovers.

• The boss can also do its explosion without the knockdown prerequisite. 
• It always arches its head up, shouts, and turns 180 before doing this move. 
• That doesn't mean that every time the boss arches his head and turns 180, he will do it.
• It's just that the explosion is always preceded by that telegraph.

Moveset

No Damage Backstep

• This is different from the backstep which does damage because it doesn't do a 360 while going back.
  

• The boss will turn towards an aggroed target.
• Then he will do a roar and then jump up and land back on someone's location.
• You will get stunned if you stand near the location.

Triple Jump

• He will turn towards an aggroed target and stomp his two feet.

• This is the telegraph that he will do 3 consecutive jumps on the person he turns towards.

• Just keep running in a straight line, do not move backwards and you will dodge it.

• He does a wind up animation before running forward. He paws the ground with his left foot.

• Below a certain health, he starts being able to charge 3x in a row.

Swipes (Three Types)

• Single swipe. Does a 90 degree right turn while doing the swipe.

• Double swipe.

• Quadruple swipe.
