Living Liquid

• Toolbox

Limit Cut

• 1256 Limit Cut
• Toolbox

Limit Cut

If the blasts hit direct E/W for the first set that means group 1 goes WEST.

BJCC

• Split BJ/CC
• Toolbox

Burst

At the start of the phase please do the majority of your burst on Cruise Chaser, this includes using 2ms like Chain or Mug, Cruise is usually higher by the end and the melees cannot hit him for the majority of the phase.

Mitigation

Mitigation used directly on Brute affects the Water/Lightning and even the mines, this means that things like Addle/Feint/Rep will reduce the damage you take from them. Please use your mit!

Alex Prime

• Christmas Right Time Stop
• Timestop / Inception

Time Stop

The blue tether is yolo’d in PF, make sure you check if you are on the Cruise side or not.

Wormhole

If you are 1 or 2 during Wormhole stay still a bit after your cleave/dash resolves to bait the Apoc Ray brom BJ, moving early can kill other people.

A good rule of thumb is to move back to the cardinal when the first puddle soak happens.

Final Word

Sprint does not affect the forced march, feel free to use it to make it to your spot faster!

You have time to move after Stillness/Motion resolves and before the forced march, prioritize doing them right over getting to your spot!

Light Beacon

You can be at the wall as Light Beacon and it wont kill people. The only failure condition for this mech is touching the beacon!

Please do this as it removes the chance of someone being too close to light and dying!

Fate Cal Beta

If you are one of the Dark Debuff players make sure to go towards the wall to bait your jump before doing the stack/spread!

Frequently Asked Questions

• I didnt press anything during Stillness and still died?

• You need to fully detarget the boss for Stillness, if you only stop pressing your GCDs you risk auto attacking the boss and triggering the mechanic, this means you should press Escape (Or Circle on PS controller) TWICE not once!
