Stormcloud Summons 1
Mechanics
castStormcloud Summons turns the arena into a circle, and spawns several clouds. This is followed by castSmokeater, which will suck in one, two, or three sets of clouds. The solution changes based on how many sucks occurred.
Finally, castRokujo Revel will telegraph a large line AOE across the arena for each suck which happened earlier. These line AOEs will resolve in the order they appear.
Any cloud hit by a line AOE, or another cloud, will detonate. The size of this AOE will be larger for each time the boss sucked.
Strategy
Each suck pattern has a unique way to solve it, however each of the patterns follow the same basic rule. Position relative to a lone cloud in the first line AOE, starting on the side opposite of that cloud.
One Suck
Solve this mechanic relative to the telegraphed line AOE.
There are 6 possible cloud locations within the red line AOE, two of which will be removed. Both of the spots with a missing cloud show where the safe dodges will be.
Start by standing next to the line AOE, where one of the clouds is missing. As soon as the line AOE resolves, move in, a bit past the middle of the arena.
Two Sucks
This pattern is solved relative to the first line AOE to appear.
On one side of this line, there will be 1 cloud. On the other, there will be two clouds.
Start by standing next to the first line, on the same side as the solo cloud, but across from it. This will be the larger wedge, which has two clouds in it.
Once the first line AOE resolves, move towards the first cloud, which will be safe.
Three Sucks
This pattern is solved relative to the first line AOE to appear.
There will be a single cloud in the first line AOE. The starting area is about 90° away from the singular cloud, on the side of the line opposite of the cloud.
Start by standing inside the corner of the 3rd line AOE. Once the first cloud detonates, move towards it until you’re clear of the 3rd line.
