• 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.

Battle Gimicks

• 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.

2nd Phase Mechanic: Golden Orb

• 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.

2nd Phase Mechanic: Dribble

• Shortly after the golden orb phase, whether you completed it successfully or not, the dribble phase starts. 

• All players except for one player run out of the encounter zone.

• You kite the boss until a blue AoE appears around your character. 

• THE PLAYER IN THIS BELOW VIDEO USES HIS ROBE TOO FAST. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS BELOW.

• ~4 seconds after the blue AoE disappears, have everyone come back in using the camouflage robe.

• After a short duration, the boss will go up and use golden AoE's in a ring. A golden AoE appears around someone at the same time. 

• Have the other 3 members go to the boss and stack up. 

• The person with the golden AoE comes in later and 4 lightning strikes will appear and damage the boss.

• After, have the 3 members walk out again as you will have to repeat the same kite process again.

• Have the members come back in a 2nd time with using the robe after the cooldown is up. 

• Once someone gets the golden AoE around them, have the 3 other members stack up near the horn. 

• If you did everything right, the 2nd round of 4 lightning strikes will knock the boss.

• After the knock, the horn becomes breakable.

• Usually, if you didn't knock, it's because 8 lightning strikes didn't hit.
  

• Make sure your members stack up before the AoE circle guy comes in.

• Corrosion bomb can be applied before you even see the breakable part.

• The horn requires 35 destruction to break. If you don't break the horn, wipe and try again.

• Successfully breaking the horn makes the boss's attacks slower and will TP away soon thereafter.

• After finding it again, it will start at the 2nd phase.

Low Health Mechanic: Four Orbs

• A huge orb appears in random locations.

• This orb splits into four cardinal directions.

2nd Phase Moveset

Backstep into Sky Attack

• Does a backstep into a sky attack.

• 2nd best damage window as you can set up damage to where it will land.

Up

• Flies up into the air and summons two rings of lightning strikes.

• Best damage window as you can set up buffs and damage to where it will land.

Charge

• Standard frontal charge. AoE around itself at landing location.

Back Orb

• The boss will arch up and fire an orb. This means the orb will split into 3 orbs traveling backwards.

Front Orb Shotgun

• A huge orb will appear in front of its mouth. The boss will then stick its head towards the front.

• The orb will then split into 3 orbs frontwards.

General Moveset

Double Stomp

• These stomps staggers. Sometimes follows up with single stomp with a knockup.

Single Stomp

• This stomp does a knock-up. The boss likes re-positioning before using it.

Tail Swipe

• Same as normal calventus. Safe area to stand is diagonal to the boss's back. 

• Once the tail hits the middle, go to the other side.

Backstep

• Landing location does damage.
