Figuring this out on my own in a pug setting would've been a nightmare. Thank you!
Jokes on you I already have a thing for curvy robots
A note on boss targeting: each boss fixates the player closest to them about midway through their landing animation - the player in question will hear a distinct 'ding' sound to signify they've been chosen, in addition to the colored target markers everyone can see. The bosses don't deal a large amount of damage with their autoattacks at least from what I've seen, so anyone confident can take them during the first cycle without too much issue as long as the healers aren't afk. For the second cycle, however, you will ideally want to have ranged character take Green (always the further landing mark after the transition) so that they can still contribute damage while keeping the bots separated.
Thanks Muk easy guide to follow and straight forward with just the right amount of Muk for flavoring. Chef's kiss Sir
Omg, this is so complicated and hard to remember. Thx for the video.
re: the *Inside/Outside Arrows* mechanic, the alternating cycle is based on where you were on the first one that comes up.
1st one offers both In or Out. The next one will be the opposite of which position you ended up being there.
So if you were In the next one will be Out.
We found it easiest for everyone to try to be In, so that from then out we'd be synced up.
- (we have someone who is colorblind and play on coms, so callouts help them out a lot).
- (it also helps any of our guildies that decide to show up that day and have never done it before).
Also you are immune to this mechanic during the multiple bots phases if and only if you have fixate to anything not red.
Nice video like always !
Just to add a little something : the "tether" to a player is a blue mechanic (happens only when blue is here). It is pretty simple : if you have a tether, you are likely to put a "red" expanding AoE, and this is why you must run to the edge of the arena. This is not a range thing but a duration thing, like chrono F4 : you are tethered with the spot for a certain amount of time, it doesn't matter the distance you are from the spot, and just before it tp you back, you leave the red AoE where you were.
Also, the green guy sometimes target the furthest player and will attack with a projectile. Again, when it'll hit the player, this will leave a red expanding AoE.
That's it ^^
Yes! that I was waiting for too.
Thank you
actually player yether is both - if you fail to break it in time you drop expanding aoe, if you un far enough it breaks and drops the aoe on where you where when it broke.
@@MehrumesDagon it does not break, its just a duration.
Really interesting! Hopefully I get to try it soon! Thanks for the guide!
I had the privilege of doing this completely blind but guides like this are beneficial for everyone so good job.
Perfect video length for the guide, and perfect explanation, thanks! :)
Really helpful as always!
As always, amazing content. I havent played this strike yet just because i was waiting for this guide to be 100% sure i understand the mechanic before going in, and to have a chance of most pug people also has seen this video so makes it easier for everyone :D
Or you can do this: ua-cam.com/video/XhlVOH8E0dc/v-deo.html
I had a thing for curvy robots even before this strike came out
regarding the white arrow mechanic: depending on where you stand the first time (in or out) all future arrows will alternate based on your choice
example: if you stood in the first time, the next time will be out, then in, then out, etc
if you moved out, the next time will be in, then out, then in, etc
One point to note is that if you go to speed you probably want to cc every time they spawn in, because if you CC they do get exposed after their AoE. Of course, everyone needs to be on the same page on CC or no CC in the group, so people don't position in the wrong area
Yes, had a group do exactly that and went perfectly smooth. Another didn't confirm and half the group gets obliterated because they aren't paying attention. That confirmation only takes a few seconds so it's worth it one way or the other.
most times the CC is on those not attackable at that time so it won't help having the exposed or am I wrong and all 3 get them?
Also I always do it with my guild that we go for CCs when it favors the position of the group. especially later when 1 is further away tanking another boss it is nice to CC for the area.
@@moujayay immune boss get the expose the next time they become vulnerable
@@Alphenis aah thank you
Note: you always DPS the bots in the same order. Red. Green. Blue. This holds true at 10%.
What u do when u have the blue icon (blue boss agro?) above your head?
During the 3 bots phase, when we get fixated by the blue, should we just ignore and kill red and green or should we kite blue to face away from the group?
Hey, just want to know if you can fo this strike with only the base game?
It's with this strike mission that I discovered that mech can some how have their 3 attacks put on auto-attack? Pretty annoying when you have a random in your squad that don't understand that his mech has 2 attacks that CC...
I find that this one is a nightmare to pug tbh. Some people ignore the white arrows thing, the green tether mechanic, the blue split and on top of that when they all 3 come together it becomes chaos because at that point you cant continue ignoring the mechanics
Last night, for Daily Strike I had the courage to pug it (and said I wasn't very familiar with the mechanics). The comm, which was an extremly nice guy asked for 1) tank the green and 2) bait the boomerang. Still with its explanaitions I had no idea what it means, I tried my best the first time with what I understood and we wiped, but the second time after seeing the strat had not yet been clicking in, another player kindly asks that he can fill this role (bless him). But I'm now not sure what I shaould have done better on theses phases.
The curvy robots used to be even curvier.
Is it just my perception of this Strike, or is this fight more complicated mechanically than the other Strike Missions?
Great video Mukluk!
It's rather loaded, but very methodical in execution, I'd say
My group found it much easier to always CC red and blue from 40% - 0%. This gives you much more play space when you get push/pull mechanic overlapping with the room wide AoE, and doesn't require voice chat to last minute coordinate a CC.
fck, these guids are GOOD
So muk, i disagree with the no CC thing. If you CC one of them the next time they come in to do a super attack they are stunned instead. And take bonus damage.
The only mechanic that kills me out of nowhere is that I get this black ball (nova) on me and die.
And I still dont know why I get it.
thanks. this video made me only look like an idiot a couple of times
If you perma-stealth the fixated player, the matching Knight will do absolutely NOTHING. It will not move, it will not do mechanics. It will just stand there. Easiest way to get Aether Aversion achievement. Will probably be patched OR will be the key way of clearing the CM once it comes out.
nice job noxxi!
I came here for waffles.
Muk, I think you're missing the point in this GTTP...
We should CC most of the time, as it gives Exposed (If they have shield, they will have Exposed when they come back for thier phase)
The Exception here is Red, as CC on him is usually placing team in bad place (which is counter intuitive since it makes dead zone smaller)
So it should be - CC every bar unless it will make your team at risk.
There is no enrage timer on this fight that is cause for stress about time so utilizing exposed is optional (its already been soloed, which takes a very long time). If it works for your group by all means go ahead.
@@MuklukUA-cam Well, maybe I'm too much focused on minmaxing... yet it would be nice to have "note: you can CC for exposed, but it is not needed, pick your poison" :D
Ｐｒⓞм𝕠𝕤𝐌 😀
Guides doesn't help fighting off the 50k KP Elitists.
I don't understand how ANet can release a boss fight in which one of the mechanics encourages TO NOT break the defiance barr when is active. I mean, most of the players in the game don't even known what the blue bar is for nor equip or use any cc in their builds, when is one of the milestones of the gameplay design in a lot of encounters, and now, after all of those years moaning about players not running instanced content, they release a fight in which for most of the encounter you SHOULD avoid to break the defiance bar... No wonder open world PvE is what most the players do.
Yeah... it's a pass for me. Wont run this strike anytime soon.
Few notes:
The red in-out mechanic should not be client specific, it is always both -> in -> out -> in -> out rotating between in and out forever.
You can actually designate tanks since the landing position is fixed and they always fixate nearest player.
This is not true. It's based upon which you choose first. So something like this:
Both, but you chose in -> out -> in -> out -> etc
Both, but you chose out -> in -> out -> in etc
@@BrienGerber That makes so much more sense, thanks for the info. So as the green tank you should start out because there is an overlap. Never understood why that was so badly timed.
From my experience, those who are fixated by green is excluded from in-out mechanic from red
oh dear looks awful xD
So, let me be sure I've got this right ...
... ever since the EoD final group event fiasco of umpteen groups failing because the non-tryhards didn't know about break bars, streamers like Teapot, Potato and others have been bemoaning the lack of skill of many players and endlessly going on about how those players have no idea what a 'break bar' is and how to deal with it (so they never do) .. and NOW Anet release content that if players DO break the bar because Teapot et. al. have hammered into them that's what they're supposed to do those players will get berated for doing that which they've been endlessly told the should do unless it's the 'right' bar on the 'right' mob at the 'right' time.
Remind me, why should players learn mechanics like this if they're simply going to get slammed when they don't know 'right' from 'wrong'?
GG Anet, wonderful fight design and motivation for players to 'git gud'.
/sigh
To be clear, there was already some situations in the game where you didn't want to interrupt a break bar. Or you needed to wait until a certain time.
This is simply the newest of those.
I personally think this is a great mechanic... It's better than the basics "green AoE good, red AoE bad". It requires a bit of thinking, and I think it's great
green, blue, red, blue, red, ... looks as dead content.
me since HoT: "Hey can we not have fights be color coordinated? I really struggle seeing the differences in the heat of battle"
Anet: "haha RGB fight goes brrrr"
Luckily at VG the splits are always at the same position and with OLC i can just follow everyone else, but still. yikes.
ArenaNet. Do better
Colorblindness go brr
I feel you. I am just overstimulated by raids in MMOs with action combat like GW2 or ESO. Still love them tho and wouldn't go back to WoW or FF14 for standing and clicking slow skill rotations, occasionally moving.
