Debuff Explanations

surge

Surge Vector

Targeted for destruction. Dual explosives will impact target and its surrounds when this effect expires.

This is a simple 2 person stack debuff. It is telegraphed as the debuff counts down.

Mechanics

Begins with 3 casts:

  • castSymmetric Surge applying surgeSurge Vector to both DPS.
  • castConstructive Figure spawning 3 adds along the side of the arena.
  • castArcane Plot spawning a few blue squares and arrows in a fixed pattern.

There are only two possible formations for the adds - one with a 1 square gap between each of them, and the one shown above.

The blue squares will expand in a fixed pattern relative to the adds, blocking off a 2x4 section of safe squares, while leaving one side untouched.

After the last blue square finishes expanding, each add will shoot a line AOE, hitting all squares infront of them. At the same time, castArcane Point will resolve, turning the squares under each player into blue squares.

If two players are on the same square when castArcane Point resolves, then they will be killed. Otherwise, they have a second to get off of it before the bleed applies.

castExplosive Theorem will telegraph a circular AOE on each player. This will leave a telegraphed 2nd hit in the same spot, which resolves at the same time as surgeSurge Vector.


Strategy

The wall the adds spawn on is relative north. The blue squares are always relative east.

We will be using the 2x4 set of squares in the middle of the arena for this mechanic. Each player will be given two squares of the safe area to resolve both their castArcane Point and castExplosive Theorem. They will then meet in the middle to resolve surgeSurge Vector.

Tank Tips

Since both melee are east and bossLala does not recenter, pull it relative east to keep melee uptime.

This is the arena after the blue squares finish marching, right before castArcane Point resolves. Each player’s pair of squares is shown.

The two relevent adds in the north will always hit either the east or west square for all players. Start on the side of your quadrant which is not hit by the adds.

When castArcane Point and the add’s castAreo II resolve, dodge out of the blue square into your other square.

Stand in a corner of your safe spot, directly north or south of your partner.

After castExplosive Theorem, a puddle will appear under each player. If positioned right, there is one safe spot near your area. Meet your partner there to resolve surgeSurge Vector stack.
