General Battle Mechanics

• Some teams like to use a scarecrow at the beginning of the fight to draw aggro from the boss.

• They use this time to just dump all their DPS on the boss.

• Since the boss TPs 2 more times, a scarecrow is used at the 1st encounter and the other 2 TP encounters.

• The boss enter its 2nd phase after its 1st TP.

• Usually a scarecrow is saved for when the boss enrages, which will be discussed below.

• The boss will summon 2 sandstorms shortly after the fight begins.

• These sandstorms aggro onto players and moves towards them very slowly.

• Standing in the sandstorms will apply a MS debuff on you. Getting 3 of these stacks will petrify you.

• After the sandstorms are created, the boss will periodically do an earthquake move as indicated below.

• Unless you have 100% Earthquake Immunity, you will be shocked for 10 seconds.

• After a short while of doing the earthquake, the boss will do a one shot move.

• You can time the one shot move by counting the number of moves the boss does.

• The boss usually does it after 3 moves used. 

• If the move animation takes a long time, ex. rolls, it will do it after 2 moves used. 

• To avoid the one shot, you must stand in the sandstorm to get 3 stacks and get petrified to become invincible.

• Players can prep 1 or 2 stacks of the debuff to make sure you get 3 stacks in time.

• The invincibility effect still lasts for a bit after wearing off.

• In RU, the one shot mechanic, doesn't one shot anymore.

• Getting petrified gives you a 30 second debuff where you can't get petrified again. In RU, it's if you get hit.

• If you can't get petrified again before the boss uses its one shot ability, you should run away.

• Either go into the next area or make sure to run until the boss is on the edge of your minimap.

• In RU, the one shot mechanic, doesn't one shot anymore.

• If the boss kills someone during the one shot move, the boss will enrage.

• The boss's attack speed and damage will increase.

• The sandstorms disappear and he will not do the earthquake/one shot mechanic anymore.

• Instead, an AoE will appear around himself and damage all surrounding players.

• To get the boss back to its normal state, you must knock the boss.

• Once the boss gets back up, it will lose its AoE and go back to doing normal things.

Moveset

Bomb (2nd Phase)

• During the 2nd phase, the boss will start using this move periodically.

• It has the same telegraph as the sandstorm summon.

• A circle will spawn on the ground. Unless someone stands on top of the circle, bombs will continually spawn.

• Typically, the bard or a ranged class stands on the circle.

• When you get near the bombs, they explode.

Eruption (2nd Phase)

• It has a telegraph I guess, not like that will help you.

• So far as I can tell, the AoE's are random. If you're unlucky, you'll just get juggled.

Rolls 1-D

• Simple telegraph.

• These types of rolls go in one direction. The safe spot is always right behind the boss.

• The safe zone decreases when the boss is against the wall and the rolls come out of it.

Rolls 2-D

• These rolls go in two directions. To account for both 1D and 2D, first stand diagonally to the boss.

• For the 2D roll, only one roll will appear from behind and go back. Afterwards, no more back rolls appear.

• So in both situations, safe spot will behind on the bosses back.
