PRE-BATTLE NOTES
- The battlefield will have 2 platforms: west (blue) and east (red)
- There are times there will only be 1
- On the moments there are 2, mechanics usually involve needing 4 players on each side
- Starting positions: MT team (MT D1 D3 H1) will be on blue, ST team (ST D2 D4 H2) on red
- Some mechanics will force players to teleport to the other team's platform
- When you teleport, you won't be able to use it again for 18 seconds
- The non-teleport team must now be the ones to teleport to the other side to balance the platforms
MECHANICS & ROTATION
PART 1
Diamond Rain - AoE orbs explosion on platform. Orb number depends on how many people are on the platform. Split into 2 teams and have 4 players on each e.g. MT team on blue, OT on red
Attack - constant straight-line AoE laser auto-attack on two players with the highest enmity throughout the entire battle. Stay away from tanks
Adamant Purge - consists of two attacks:
1.) AoE on one of the platforms. The side where his claws are showing is the 'unsafe' side. Teleport immediately to the other platform
2.) The 2nd attack can be two types depending on his animation:
- Missiles on shoulders - AoE on everyone. One of his arms will glow during countdown. Teleport to the safe platform
- Cannon on chest - straight-line shared AoE. Everyone stack together
Photon Burst - proximity-based tankbuster on both tanks. Everyone else stay away from them

PART 2
Hand Tethers + Diamond Shot - hands will spawn on each platform and they will tether to players. Boss will do knockback. Depending on your position upon impact, you can get knocked back to the opposite side of the same platform or get knocked back to the other platform.
1.) Those with hands on the other platform (purple): get knocked back to the opposite edge of the same platform
2.) Those with hands on the same platform (pink arrow): get knocked back to the other platform
Airship Bane - immediately after tethers, boss will do AoE on one of the platforms and disable it temporarily. Be on the safe one
Outrage - raid-wide AoE
Outrage
Auri Arts - orbs will appear around the platform and boss will dash through them on a zig-zag pattern while doing straight-line AoE on its path.
There are 2 safe spots:
1.) middle of the platform directly behind him
2.) on his left or right in front of him, away from where he's facing
On the last dash, he will hang upside-down in the middle and look at the orb where he will jump to next. Stay away from that lane
Outrage
Auri Doomstead - circle AoE tankbuster on main tank with vulnerability debuff. Use cooldowns and swap tanks
Middle Dash/Jump - boss will hang on an orb from one of the longer edges. This can be 2 types of attacks depending on the situation:
1.) If there's another orb on the opposite edge - he will do a straight-line AoE at the middle towards that orb and then jump back to his beginning position to do a big circle AoE. Go to sides and away from his starting position
2.) If there's no orb on the opposite edge - he will simply do a big circle AoE on the opposite side. Go to his starting position
Vertical Cleave - knockback AoE. Get near to where he will land with your back facing the longer side of the platform (diagonal) so you won't fall
Outrage
Articulated Bits (AB) + Auri Arts - usual Auri Arts but half of the longer side of the platform will have AoE from the Articulated Bits (hands). Find a safe spot for both the zig-zag AoE and half-platform AoE.
1.) If the hand's safe side is behind him - the safe side for zig zag AoE will be directly behind him.
2.) If the hand's safe side is in front of him - the sade side for zig zag AoE will be on his right
On the last dash, it will also be the same, only with added laser hands on one of the shorter sides of the platform. Stand between hands and on the side where the boss won't dash to
Outrage
Auri Doomstead
AB + Middle Dash/Jump - same mechanics as before, just that there are hand lasers to watch out for which means there are lesser safe areas
AB + Vertical Cleave - same mechanics as before, just that there are hand lasers to watch out for which means there are lesser safe areas
Outrage
PART 3
Flood Ray - everyone will get marked by a number and get a huge conal AoE based on that sequence. Players must bait their conal AoEs on the edge of their platforms with the right sequence.
Blue Platform (Odd): 1 and 3 will go to the egdes first while 5 and 7 stay at the middle. 5 will then go to 1 and 7 to 3 after their conal AoEs
Red Platform (Even): 2 and 4 will go to the egdes first while 6 and 8 stay at the middle. 6 will then go to 2 and 8 to 4 after their conal AoEs
Photon Burst
Adamant Purge + AB - wait for and avoid the hands lasers first before having the non-safe team transfer to the other platform. Next mechanic is the usual spread or stack, but stand in the middle of hands to avoid lasers at the same time
Diamond Rain
Diamond Shrapnel + AB + Meteors + Photon Burst Combo
1.) Huge homing AoEs on every player will drop on the floor - bait them in front of the hands at the edge of your platform
2.) Immediately teleport to the other side before the hand lasers go off
3.) 4 meteor points will spawn on each platform - avoid hand lasers first and then stand on your respective meteors
Photon Burst
AB + Adamant Purge
