Amhuluk
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Critical Rip | Tankbuster | High damage on tank; use cooldowns |
| Electric Burst | Raidwide | Party-wide damage; hits harder with Lightning Resistance Down |
| Lightning Bolt | AoE | All players get lightning circles; move to unelectrified rods at arena edge to transfer debuff |
| Thundercall | Adds | Pulsing lightning orbs spawn; find safe spots between pulses |
| Wide Blaster | Cleave | Frontal cone attack |
| Spike Flail | Cleave | Rear cone attack; move to boss’s sides to avoid front/back combo |
Notes: Transfer lightning to rods during Lightning Bolt or take increased damage from Electric Burst. Wide Blaster and Spike Flail often combo—stay at sides.
Magitek Core
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Defensive Reaction | Raidwide | Party-wide damage throughout the fight |
| Wave Cannon | AoE | Two of three wall cannons glow; stand in non-glowing column |
| Analysis | AoE | Various Magitek attacks from surrounding machinery |
| Core Exposure | AoE | Glowing platform appears; all players stand on it to launch up and attack core |
Notes: This is a multi-phase encounter with adds and cannon attacks. When the glowing platform appears, everyone must stand on it to damage the core.
Lunar Bahamut
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Twisted Scream | Raidwide | Party-wide AoE damage |
| Lunar Nails | AoE | Purple spikes drop in sequence and explode in that order; move to safe zones after explosions |
| Akh Morn | Stack | Multi-hit stack marker; stay grouped so all hits land on tank |
| Megaflare Dive | AoE | Boss dives through arena; move to recent explosion zones or newer spike locations |
| Gigaflare | Raidwide | Heavy party-wide damage; healers prepare |
| Flatten | Tankbuster | High damage on tank; use cooldowns |
Notes: Track Lunar Nail drop order—they explode in sequence. After explosions, those spots become safe for Megaflare Dive. Akh Morn requires tight stacking on tank.
