Gordian Adds
A multi-wave add encounter testing coordination and kill priority.

Kill Priority:
- Boomtype Magitek Gobwalker (vulnerability debuff)
- Jagd Doll (high damage)
- Gordian Hardhelm/Hardmind (healing reduction)
- Gordian Soldiers
- Gordian Snipers
- Magitek Gobwidow
Strategy:
- Two DPS enter the Magitek Gobwalker G-VII suits at the start
- Suit pilots drag bombs away from the party and use debuff abilities on enemies
- Do NOT exit the suit or it’s lost for the rest of the fight
- Use suit abilities sparingly to conserve energy
- Recharge the suit using its Recharge ability on low-health enemies
- When bombs appear, split the party so one side absorbs while the other stays safe
- Tanks must use cooldowns carefully as trash hits hard
- Kill enemies quickly to control wave spawns rather than waiting for timers
Notes: This is the most unique encounter in Alexander, functioning as an add gauntlet rather than a boss fight. Success depends on proper use of the Gobwalker suits and following the kill priority.
