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.

• A possible recovery move from an armor break, full knockdown, or core kill is shown below.

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

• The boss will periodically summon up to 4 cores. You must kill these cores ASAP.
• The core will usually teleport to another place after spawn.
• Prenerf KR, the boss would usually TP during the 3rd core because teams could not kill the core in time.
• I doubt that will be the case in RU. If the boss does TP away, you have to break its armor again.
• You may want to use molotovs on these cores but again, I doubt that will be needed on RU.

• The cores have mini versions of the bosses attacks, which are shown below.

Moveset (1st Phase - Above 30% Health)

Whirlwind (2 Types)

• This is a move that is the most dangerous for unprepared players.
• The telegraph is distinct and easily recognizable. 
• The boss will raise its arms in the air and bring them down quickly before doing the attack.

• This second type of whirlwind has almost the same telegraph, but the boss does it a lot slower.
• The boss will then use whirlwind while moving forward.

Bombardment

• The sound the boss makes for this move is very distinct. The boss will raise its arm up high for this attack.
• The AoE's appear around an aggroed target.

Ghost Jets

• Hard to describe the telegraph for this move but you will get used to it after a while.
• It's also telegraphed by 4 blue spawn points that center at the boss.

Rain

• The animation for this move is fairly slow. You will have ample time to notice the move.
• After a short while, AoE's will come falling down.

Smash (2 Types)

• Raises its arms before bringing them down to attack the front.

• Almost the same telegraph as the previous move, but will do a huge frontal AoE cone as well.

Backstep (3 Types)

• The boss has 3 possible followup attacks to its backstep ability.
• The first possible is bombardment.

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

• The third possible is a moving whirlwind.

Flames

• Summons 3 flames. Standing in them causes damage.

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.
