    Super helpful tip: You don't have to be grounded when dropping your meteors, only when hiding. Thank you to Kreater120, Testtank5198 and others who mentioned this!
    And now - every possible difference you might see in PF:
    Wind phase - I show NW/SE for stacks, but you may see NE/SW. It's the same thing.
    Divide and Conquer - I show THMR, but the order as arbitrary as it's all uptime, no positionals and negligible healing
    Earth phase - I show MTTM/RHHR for towers, but every spot is uptime so all orders work
    Meteors - I show box, but hiding behind the back meteors so you only move once. L works fine, one line is tight but also works fine. I showed this because its the same spreads as for towers and for final phase; hopefully easy for people to remember.
    Coronation - I show ccw, because I've used 1A markers for the whole expansion and which way you rotate is arbitrary. I explain that people should look at the waymarks to see if their group is doing clockwise instead.
    Absolute authority - I show a strat I personally used which is done like blackfire trio in UCoB, but I also show the cheese. As someone who healed the fight, I'd rather not throw all my mitigation on this one fairly easy mechanic, but there's nothing wrong with it.
    Icicles - I show both N/S prio and fixed bridges (what NA is calling braindead?). I have no horse in this race. This mechanic is hard and late in the fight. People are going to murder each other, regardless of the strat.
    Ice 2 - I show MTTT, but also explain TTTT. Groups with low DPS shouldn't do TTTT, as the tankbuster afterwards will murder them if they don't skip.

    Hector for the meteors. I've noticed after 5 hours of hitting my head against the well that if you are afloat, the meteor dropping will do dmg but less than when you are not floating. So you can still place the meteors down on the platform while floating. This will save up tons of time in going into the gravity thingy all the time to drop the meteors. Go in once, float, drop the 16 meteors, go back on the ground and soak the blasts of sphene. That's much more convenient. Thanks always for providing guides!

      Hector does the overall "best strategy" for these kind of encounters. Some vocal minority (the elitist wanna be) despise Hector just because PF has taken a reliance on his starts. I kid you now, I was in an Arcadion raid group and 3 of them were hellbent against using Hector starts for no reason. They were "Ugh hector, no I refuse to use his guides". Ironically enough, we ended up using Hector's and cleared, but the fact remains that the antagonizing mentality persist to this day. Sure, sometimes Hector does rushed guides in the savage tiers but he has a channel to run. Even Xenos has touched upon this little topic against the unjustified Hector's hate. This is why he is apologizing for showing a fave strat and took the time to put PF variants while giving a heads up of reading the PF description to see what strat is being used because God forbids if someone say "I use Hector's"
      Remember PF is all about the sweat and having someone saying "it's a braindead strat"

    The group I was in when we did meteor was different, since there are 2 meteors drop on each person. The 4 people that has to went away to deal with their own point black aoe and tethers just stay where they are, so they drop both sets of their meteors outside, sinking both sets to the abyss and the people who dealt with towers, they are the one that set up where to land both sets of meteors. Less movement for everyone, less fiddling with the gravity pillar, which can lead to less mistake as well.

    For the dropping meteor mechanic, we found it easier to let the two people who were on the platform for towers drop them while the two people who were floating from the last mechanic toss them into the abyss. We also ended up going with a zig-zag or c-pattern to make it easier to avoid the gravity well in the middle.

    The idea that you can always use the TTTT strategy isn't entirely accurate. Each Tether player has a 50/50 chance to receive the Stack Marker. If one of the Tanks gets this marker, that Tank will die if they attempt to soak it alone. An invulnerability skill is mandatory in this scenario. Therefore, the only viable way to execute the TTTT strategy is to swap out the Tank who receives the Stack Marker during the second cycle.

    for dropping meteors in earth phase, my FC last night found there was less movement overall and fewer opportunities for error if handled this way:
    if you have no marker and you're staying on your platform to soak a tower, you drop both meteors on the platform. the person who soaks the north tower drops the two north meteors and the person who soaks the south tower soaks the south meteors. If you had to go out for the earth shaker or circle AOE, drop both your meteors into the abyss then drop back down onto your platform to hide behind the meteors already dropped.
    Also means that you don't have to have the people soaking the towers drop meteors float up, move out, then move back and drop back down. Those two players never have to use the elevation change for this mechanic

But nope, wipe after wipe after party disband after salt. "It's supposed to be "brain dead" easy lol.

    There are actually four spots on the arena where the outlines of all three platforms overlap where you will be safe for all 3 patterns of Radical Shift in Phase 2 without having to look at the direction of the rotations… you may have to adjust position after you land but this trivialises this mechanic… 😄

    • @Freeasacar
      @Freeasacar 25 днів тому +1

      D3/D4 don't even have to move for the entire mechanic if they stand on the bottom intercardinal corners of the yellow platform which is visible on the arena before she even casts Radical Shift. Healers can also just stand on them and adjust when the actual platform appears. I think it's a bit spicier for D1/D2 because the safe spot on the North of the yellow platform is only a small triangle but it should still be possible for them.

  • @bellakagamine
    @bellakagamine Місяць тому

    You don't need all 4 people to go down onto the platform to drop the meteors as well, since everyone is targeted for two sets. You can have a less-movement version of any type of meteor pattern by simply having the two people who were targeted for the line/circle stay floating off the platform and drop both sets into the abyss, while having the two tower-soakers per platform place all 4 meteors.

    been waiting for this one! Fight looks fun, if a little long 😅 radical shift looks like a bit of a pain though. 15:23 you say it's rotating clockwise "or across the front its rotating right to left" but wouldnt that be left to right across the front and right to left across the back? Gonna have to remember the rotation across the bottom/back is the one that matters cuz if its swirling in a circle it seems like either platform could rotate onto the field depending on which half of the circle youre considering.
