The third fight of the Arcadion raid series. Brute Bomber is a powerful explosive fighter with fire and bomb mechanics.
Brute Bomber
The arena is a square where stepping out inflicts a fire DoT. The fight features two phases, with enhanced abilities after the Doping Drought transition.
Phase 1 Mechanics
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Brutal Impact | Raidwide | Four consecutive raid-wide hits (~30k each); use shields, heals, Reprisal, Feint |
| Knuckle Sandwich | Tankbuster | Shared tankbuster targeting off-tank; both tanks stack to split damage with defensives |
| Brutal Lariat | Cleave | Boss raises one fist and dashes, cleaving that side plus hitbox (~60-70% arena); move to opposite side |
| Murderous Mist | Cleave | 270-degree frontal cleave; position behind boss |
| Barbarous Barrage | Knockback | Four bomb towers spawn with knockback indicators; stand in towers to get knocked to safe zones |
| Fire Spin | AoE | Boss spins firing directional cones; stand opposite first attack’s rotation, move into cleared area |
| Fuses of Fury | AoE | Bombs with short and long fuses spawn; stand on long-fused first, move to short-fused locations after they explode |
Phase 2: Doping Drought
After the phase transition, abilities become enhanced:
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Lariat Combo | Cleave | Two Brutal Lariats in succession from opposite sides |
| Infernal Spin | AoE | Fire Spin with added ring/donut AoEs plus personal puddles |
| Brutal Burn | Stack | Stack marker requiring party to gather |
Tips
- Brutal Impact requires heavy mitigation—coordinate party cooldowns
- Watch which fist Brute Bomber raises for Brutal Lariat direction
- For Barbarous Barrage, use knockback immunity or position in towers carefully
- Getting hit by Brutal Lariat inflicts burn and stun debuffs
- Phase 2 mechanics are enhanced versions—prepare for overlapping patterns
- Fuses of Fury requires reading bomb timers—long fuse bombs are safe initially
