Mechanics

castBoundless Scarlet line AOEs.

bossMoko begins with a short sequence of spells to setup the bulk of the mechanic.

castScarlet Auspice — An untelegraphed circle AOE about the size of the hitbox.

castBoundless Scarlet — telegraphs 4 large line AOEs. These will leave harmless lines on the ground which will be relevant later.

castInvocation of Vengeance — applies Vengeful Flame to all players and Vengeful Pyre to one support and one DPS. Which of the two debuffs resolves first is random.

castFleeting Iai-giri — targets a player with Rat and Mouse and displays a cleave icon above bossMoko’s head.

The 4 possible Fleeting Iai-giri telegraphs.

Example Safe area for resolving the growing lines on the ground. Note the other set of lines are completely safe.

During the cast of castFleeting Iai-giri, two of the lines on the ground will begin to grow. These will become large AOEs, leaving only a single corner of the arena safe.

The The Rat and Mouse cleave and ground line AOEs will resolve first, then the first Stack or Spread a second later.

While resolving the first set, the other set of lines on the ground will begin growing. This will make the safe spot directly north or south of your current location safe. This is where you resolve the second Stack or Spread, this time without a cleave.

Strategy

Since the Stack debuffs are role based, we can have roles always partner together.

There are no fixed assignments for where players will stand within the safe area when resolving Stack or Spread. These AOEs are very small, and you can make use of the fact that the cleaves resolve first to adjust.

The Tethered player should move to the far corner of the safe area, and point their safe side towards the center. Resolve Stack or Spread after the ground AOEs.

Since bossMoko will teleport slightly behind the targeted player, the cleave will likely hit the outer walls of the arena. Be ready to adjust.

The second safe spot will always be directly north or south of the first.

Move there and resolve the second Stack or Spread AOEs.
