LAOINFO

• Yoho does move during 2nd phase.

• You must get hit by 3 orbs to get the attack buff.

• Yoho periodically does a 360 spin move that causes random areas on the floor to be on fire.

• Since these fires can sometimes interrupt with DPSing, players throw water bombs on those areas to clear.

• Do not waste a water bomb on such a small area like this berserker though.

1st Phase Moveset

Clones

• Screams, TPs, screams again, does a 360, and spawns a clone that also does a 360.

Flash

• Faster version of charge.

• Telegraphed by Yoho kneeling a bit before going further.

Jump

• Telegraphed by Yoho kneeling down and getting ready to leap.

Random Fireballs

• Arches her head up and screams before firing fireballs in random directions.

Targeted Fireballs

• It's sometimes easy to tell who is the target of this attack because she just slides across the floor.

• She fires two projectiles for the 1st phase version.

Charge

• You should be used to the animation of charges by now. Yoho's charge is nothing different.

Sky Drop

• Turns toward an aggroed target, screams and flies up into the air, then drops down on the target.

• Can be avoided by just running. If you don't feel confident, just use a dash move.

Stomp

• Turns toward an aggroed target and does a single stomp.

Tail Swipe 360

• Same telegraph as her spawn fires on random areas move, except this actually damages you.

Tail Swipe Back

• Telegraphed by Yoho bending her head down a bit before bringing her tails up and swiping down.

Tail Swipe Side

• She will look at the side she will tail swipe just like Calventus.

• Yoho will then swipe her tail at the side she was looking at from the other side.

Walk

• She will walk into a straight line like a model on a runway. As she does this, rain will fall down.

Upgraded Clones

• Instead of one clone, she will spawn clones in all cardinal directions, east, west, north, and south.

• Easy to avoid for ranged by standing 45 degrees to Yoho.

• Melee can just dash back in after the real Yoho does her spin.

Upgraded Flash

• Yoho does flash three times in a row during 3rd Phase.

Rain

• Arches her head up, screams and rain will fall down.

Upgraded Random Fireballs

• These random fireballs now leave the floor burning.

Upgraded Targeted Fireballs

• Instead of a pair of projectiles being fired, there are now two pairs of projectiles.

• After you have broken the tail armor, you will be able to cut the tail the next knockdown.

• Unlike above, shurikens will not go through the body or the wall.

• You must reach a cutting level of 12 to cut the tail.

• You may use a corrosion bomb and 4 grey shurikens to cut the tail, or 4 blue shurikens.

• After the tail is cut, the boss will be unable to use certain moves. After it TPs, you will do this all over again.

• Experienced players would just not cut the tail because the boss would never TP away if it wasn't cut.

• Periodically, Heavy Nakra will go through powerup charging phases as indicated below in the video.

• You will see an electric charge starting near his tail going down to the center.

• Each electric charge that reaches the center powerups the boss up to a max of 3 powerups.

• Each powerup gives Nakrasena access to more moves.

• To interupt these powerup phases, you must use your impairment skills on the boss.

• A successful impairment during this phase does not count as a natural knock for bomb or cut.

• The boss takes less damage during this charging phase until it finishes or gets back up from the break.

• If an electric charge has reached his center, he keeps his powerup even after you impair him.

• This counter carries over to the next powerup phase up to a maximum of 3 powerups.

• On his 3rd successful electric charge, he will use an AoE outwards.

• If you know you won't be able to break the 3rd charge in time, just run away.

• After this, he will no longer do anymore of his powerup phases. This resets after TP.

Thunder

• Same telegraph as the powerup move. Easily dodgeable.

Upgraded Side Claw

• His side claw swipe is upgraded. He gathers an electric charge at his claw then swings it to the side.

2nd Powerup Moves

Bongos

• Does the drums/bongos before calling down lightning AoE.
• Unlike T2 Nakra, the safe spot for T4 Nakra is directly behind the bosses' hind legs.

3rd Powerup Moves

Burrow

• Burrows into the ground and spawns 5 scorpions. The boss doesn't chase you.
• Recommended method of dealing with the scorpions is running together to the left or right.
• This gives you a wider view and lets you gather them up so you can AoE them all down.
• If you don't kill the scorpions in time, they will eventually have an electric AoE surrounding themselves.
• Getting hit by these will chain paralyze and damage you.

Upgraded Bongos

• Same telegraph as regular bongos. Only addition is that 8 electric AoE's are spawned.
• Same safe spot as regular bongos.

General Moveset

Breath

• The boss may do a pair of breaths, or back to back breaths.
• Getting hit by these breaths apply a slow stack and burns most of your mana.

• Charge one time.

• Warlords can cancel the charge by taunting.

Side Tail Slam

• The boss tilts to the side before bringing down his tail to the other.

Leap

• Leaps, does a somersault and lands at another location.

Jump

• Same as T2 Nakrasena.

Side Claw Swipe

• Same as T2 Nakrasena.

Frontal Claw Swipe

• Same as T2 Nakrasena.

Recommended Team Setup

Bard | Destroyer

Heavy Impairment

Destruction + Penetration Skills

Recommended Items

Corrosion Bomb | Destruction Bomb | Whirlwind Bomb

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.

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.

Cannon

• Single cannon shot AoE.

Bombardment

• Multiple small AoEs.

Recommended Team Setup

Bard

Impairment

Optional Items

Corrosion Bomb | Destruction Bomb

General Battle Mechanics

• Levanos has the same armor mechanics as Chromanium.

• Destruction and penetration both work on Levanos, but penetration skills are less consistent.

• Unless you're using penetration skills at the right angle, it won't affect the boss at all.

• The boss's armor break animation is shown below.

• The boss will periodically try to regenerate it's armor. The animation is below.
• You must impair the boss during this time or else you will have to break its armor all over again.

• At around 30% health, the boss will turn red and start Phase 2. 
• The boss also regains its armor back so you must break its armor again.

• This is one of the bosses normal moves, but he is likely to use it after a core kill.

• The second possible follow up is the smash frontal AoE cone.

• The third possible is a moving whirlwind.

Moveset (2nd Phase - Below 30% Health)

Cage

• RU will most likely have the nerfed cage move where the cage radius is large and very forgiving.
• Players trying to exit the cage will be pulled back inside and take damage.
• The cage will wear off after a while.

Upgraded Ghost Jets

• During the 2nd phase, the ghost jets spawn away from the center of the boss.

Snare

• The boss can place down snares during the 2nd phase.

GR T5-4: Belganus

Recommended Team Setup

Bard

Heavy Neutralization

Optional Items

Whirlwind Bomb | Adrophin |  Awakening Potion

General Battle Mechanics

• There are 3 phases to this boss. The 2nd phase begins after the 1st teleport. 3rd after 2nd teleport. 

• Only 1 new attack is added during the 3rd phase, the "pizza".

• The boss's attacks are super quick and it will take some getting used to.

• Early in each phase, the boss will turn dark. This signals the start of damage reduction and buffs. 

• Belganus will periodically call down the circles of light which buff the user. 

• Your damage is SEVERELY REDUCED unless you have these buffs.

• Stepping in any of the lights give you an attack power buff, stacking up to 5. 

• 3 buffs will give you the max attack power you can get while the buffs reduce damage taken. 

• Consequently, getting hit by dark magic attacks apply a debuff which increase the damage taken. 

• Getting holy buffs remove the debuffs.

Charging

• Belganus will also periodically absorb light. 

• He will circle around until the runes on the ground reach the outer edge. 

• You must neutralize him and knock him so he doesn't one shot all of you.

• If you feel like your team doesn't have enough neutralization, you can always just run away. 

Orb Eat

• Belganus will periodically try casting a spell and he will summon an orb in front of him. 

• You will know that he uses it after you see a shockwave being emitted and hexagons show up on heads.

• After a while, one of the hexagons will turn black. 

• That player whose hexagon turns black must go into the orb and get picked up. 

• Right after, he will get knocked for a long duration. If the wrong person gets picked up, everyone dies.

3rd Phase Mechanic "Pizza"

• During the 3rd phase, the boss will have access to pizza attacks. 

• The boss will always do a fake one telling you just the direction the pizza will occur prior to the real one.

• The attack is telegraphed by a dark cloud swirling around him. Dark energy spreads outwards right after. 

• He does a somersault and then another dark cloud will swirl around him.

• Afterwards, he will go around in a circle dealing damage. The safe spots are the holy sections.

• The attack can go either clockwise or counterclockwise. 

• The direction is indicated by the dark swirl of the cloud. 

• You can see the cloud moves counterclockwise and so does the safe spots.

• The attack always starts behind the boss. The safe spots give the buffs.

• You may just avoid the attack completely by standing outside.

General Moveset

Holy Charge

• Short dash. Triple combo attack.

Holy Flash

• Holy flash rush. Disappears for a short time before doing a somersault and rushing a direction. 

• Does a shout AoE at the end. 

• You will know its a holy rush because it disappears before reappearing and the trail color is golden.

Dark Charge

• Dark flash rush. Does a quick somersault before rushing in a direction. Does a tail swipe at the end.

• You will know its a dark rush because it doesn't disappear and its trail color is dark.

Dark Claw Swipe

• Smashes the area in front of the boss and then does a 360. 

• The damage cone spreads from the middle of its body.

Holy Feathers

• Will aggro a player and then turn 90 degrees and start shooting feathers from its sides. 

• The initial volley of feathers don't do much damage which gives you time to move out. 

• Once it stomps its paw again, the feathers start doing much more damage.

Holy Jump

• Jumps up and lands down. 4 feather damage cones appear at 4 cardinal directions relative to the boss.

Dark Breath

• Will aggro a player and switch directions by jumping. Can use one of two moves. 

• First is a breath attack. Dodge it immediately by recognizing the jump and moving to the side.

Dark and Holy Orbs

• Will aggro a player and switch directions by jumping. Can use one of two moves. 

• Second is an orb move. Dodge it immediately by recognizing the jump and moving to the side.

• If you're unable to move to the side in time, its easy to dodge the dark orbs by standing in the middle, then move to the side to dodge the light orbs.

Holy Tail Swipe

• Will glow and do a tail slam in the middle behind itself. Will do a swipe after.

Holy Quake

• Will glow golden and do a somersault before doing 3 quakes. 

• This is easily differentiated from the dark rush somersault because its slower and the boss will glow golden.

Dark Backstep

• Will glow a bluish color before jumping backwards and dealing damage.

Slow Bombardment

• Slow bombardment. This is telegraphed by the appearance of dark clouds near the boss. 

• The circles take time to deal damage. It is safe to run over them while they still have a small radius. 

• Buffs will also drop from this type of bombardment.

• Once they reach the max radius, they will explode and some of them will leave behind a field of force that last a long time.

Fast Bombardment

• Attacks hit instantly.  No forcefields are left behind. 

• This is different from the slow bombardment because he does not do the dark clouds before using it.

GR T5-3: Carl Eligos (Non-GIF Version)

Required Items

Penetration Bomb or Destruction Bomb or Blue Shuriken | Corrosion Bomb | Camouflage Robe

Recommended Loadout

DPS 1 | Penetration Bomb or Destruction Bomb or Dark Bomb | Camouflage Robe

DPS 2 | Penetration or Destruction Bomb or Specialty Pot or Adrophin | Camouflage Robe

DPS 3 | Penetration or Destruction Bomb or Signal Flare | Camouflage Robe

Bard | Penetration or Destruction Bomb or Corrosion Bomb | Camouflage Robe

• A soulmaster is good for this boss if the soulmaster is accompanied by good team party buffs. 

• A good soulmaster crit on ult during the knock phase of this boss goes a long way.

• This video below is a random korean streamer hitting a 6 million crit ult.

• This soulmaster also has the engraving where you ignore 30% armor if impaired.

• The summoner also provides 40% armor reduction.

• Soulmaster is not required though, you can still clear without a soulmaster.

General Battle Mechanics

• Assign a clock position to everyone in the group in which they cover.

• Clock positions can be 12->2, 3->5, 6->8, 9->11.

• Make sure your team has enough elemental damage, this will be explained in the phase mechanics.

• After the 1st phase, orbs will periodically appear. You must prevent most orbs from reaching the boss.

• The below picture indicates their health. The cerulean orbs move faster than the blue orbs.

• Very good windows for buffs and damage are after sky attacks and "up" attacks.

• Random geysers will appear while you are fighting the boss. 

• Stepping over them activates them and they erupt shortly after.

• Random lightning strikes appear during the fight. 

• Random tornadoes appear around the map and go in random directions.

1st to 2nd Phase Transition

• The boss transitions to the 2nd phase from the 1st phase once it reaches 95% health. 

• This is first signaled by it taking a reduced amount of damage and then call down light blue and blue orbs.

• You must not allow a significant number of orbs reach the boss from this point on.

• The best way to deal with these orbs is assign a clock position to every member in the group. 

• Once these orbs come down, everyone should know their orb coverage due to clock positions.

• The boss will continue to call down orbs at specific intervals. Sacrifice yourself to kill them if needed.

• After a certain amount of time or health threshold, the boss will go invincible and fly up into the air. 

• The boss will appear back down in the middle of the encounter zone.

• Make sure no one is near the landing zone or else they will die.

• Orbs will appear relative to Lightning Kal's position. 

• This means they will appear directly opposite from the boss's head, left wing, right wing, and tail.

• Assuming your team has assigned clock positions, everyone should know which locations they are covering. 

• If the head of the boss is facing 10 o' clock, guess who is going to be covering that location.
  

• 2-3 blue orbs will spawn first, then 2-3 cerulean orbs will spawn shortly after.

• Golden orbs appear in any location and must be dealt with asap. 

• They have neutralization bars and take extremely reduced physical damage.

• Elemental skill damage is still reduced but not as much as physical damage

• You must use elemental damage to kill these golden orbs quickly. Consider changing tripods.

• If no orbs get to the boss AND very few orbs reach the boss from before the start of this mechanic, you will be able to knock the boss. 

• This is the BIGGEST damage window you have. 

• Throw dark bombs and throw in all your buffs and throw in all your damage.

• If by this time, you get the health to 60%-65%, your team is in good shape to clear the raid.

• If you fail to knock the boss even though you kill all golden orbs, it's because it absorbed normal orbs.

• It might also be that not enough impairment was done to the boss during this time.

• If you fail to knock, consider restarting.

• If a golden orb is absorbed, it will automatically proceed to the dribble mechanic. 

• You can use this opportunity to practice the dribble mechanic if you so wish.

Recommended Team Setup

Bard

Heavy Neutralization

Optional Items

Destruction Bomb

Utility Items

Corrosion Bomb | Awakening Potion | Whirlwind Bomb

Item Loadout

• Usually if your team has enough damage, you kill the boss before you can even do a 3rd knock.

• The whirlwind bombs are optional.

• If your team does not have enough neutralization for the 3rd phase, you may consider using these.

• If not, slot other optional items.

• The bard may consider bringing the awakening pot for an emergency heal.

Flash | Charge | Pounce

• The boss will turn its head towards an aggroed target before using one of three moves. 

• The first type is a flash.

• The second type is a charge.

• The third type is a pounce.

Recommended Team Setup

Bard

Heavy Impairment

Optional Items

Panacea | Talisman | Whirlwind Bomb

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.

• Hellgaia has two evolutions.

• Each successful break on an evolve attempt makes the next attempt by Hellgaia harder to break.

• 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 to break Hellgaia now on RU.

• 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 T1-2: Lumerus

1st Phase Moveset (Above 50% Health)

Earthquake

• The telegraph is the head shake. Safe spot is right behind him.

Single Swipe

• As described in the name.

Breath

• AoE breath cone.

Charge

2nd Phase Moveset (Above 50% Health)

Upgraded Chain Swipe

• Geysers will spawn after he does his 3 chain sequence attack.

Super Quake

• Lumerus will jump up and land, dealing damage to a small area around it.

• Much like the earthquake, after he lands, anywhere behind him is safe.
