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.
