Mechanics
After castTrick Reload, bossStatice will load 8 shots into her gun, two of which will fail.
The first reload tells you if the next castTrapshooting is a stack (failed) or spread (success).
Reloads 2 through 7 determine represent the 6 cones during castTrigger Happy. All cones will be hit with an AOE except the one which failed to reload.
The final reload is for the 2nd castTrapshooting, and is always the opposite of the first.
castTrapshooting will resolve the first bullet, either a stack or spread. Both AOEs are fairly small, so either loosely spread around bossStatice, or stack on her.
castTrigger Happy will split the arena into 6 slices, giving a number marker for each of them. All slices except the safe slice determined from castTrick Reload will be hit.
castRing a Ring O’ Explosions will then spawn 6 bombs around the arena tethered into two sets of 3. One of the bombs will begin glowing - that bomb, and all bombs tethered to it will explode.
There are 4 possible patterns, but they can be rotated.
Star Pattern (Center Unsafe)
Star Pattern (Center Safe)
Triangles Pattern (Center Unsafe)
Triangles Pattern (Center Safe)
All of the bombs explode a second before the final castTrapshooting.
Strategy
PF does not strictly adhere to these spread spots. Use this as a guideline.
Melee players can be in max melee during spreads - the spread AOE will not reach across to the other player.
Preferred Spread Spots
Pay attention to the castTrick Reload. Ideally, use party chat or some other method to record the result.
Resolve the first castTrapshooting stack or spread. This is not paired with any mechanics. For spread, prefer your assigned spread spot. for stack, stack on or near the boss somewhere.
The arena will split into 6 slices, each numbered. Stand in the safe spot from castTrick Reload.
Note: The numbered slices always in this pattern, with 1 on true north.
Find the set of bombs which are tethered to the exploding bomb. The tethered bombs will explode a second before the final castTrapshooting resolves.
If this is spread, there are no strict spread assignments. The AOE is fairly small, and there’s plenty of room.
castTrick Reload occurs two additional times during this fight. The castTrapshooting and castTrigger Happy casts will be identical, but are paired with other mechanics.
