The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 2

Turn 2 is a unique timed encounter with a 12-minute limit featuring 6 mini-boss nodes leading to the final ADS boss. Strategic route planning is essential.

Node System

When you kill a mini-boss node, two things happen:

1. That node’s unique ability is removed from the final ADS boss
2. ADS gains a passive buff from that node

This creates a trade-off: eliminating dangerous abilities makes the boss stronger overall.

All Nodes - Shared Abilities

Mechanic	Type	Description
Frontal Cleave	Cleave	Applies stacking debuff increasing damage taken, refreshes with each hit
High Voltage	Raidwide	Room-wide AoE causing damage and paralysis - must be silenced every time
Repelling Cannons	AoE	360-degree close-range AoE around the node
Piercing Laser	AoE	Long-range rectangular attack that must be avoided

Tank Swap Mechanic

The stacking debuff from cleaves requires constant tank swaps:

• Position tanks so cleaves don’t hit both
• Off-tank Provokes when main tank signals (often by jumping)
• Swap at dangerous debuff levels (~3+ stacks)

ADS (Final Boss)

After defeating nodes (minimum 1 required), face the final ADS boss. It will have:

• All abilities from nodes you didn’t kill
• Passive buffs from nodes you did kill

Mechanic	Type	Description
High Voltage	Raidwide	Must be silenced - causes paralysis and heavy damage
Vacuum Wave	Knockback	Radial knockback from boss (removed by killing specific node)
Chain Lightning	Spread	Spreads between nearby players (removed by killing specific node)
Firestream	AoE	Linear fire attack (removed by killing specific node)
Ballast	AoE	Large directional attack (removed by killing specific node)

Notes:

• Bring at least two silencers (Bards work well) for High Voltage
• Two primary viable routes exist - choose based on which abilities you want removed
• Recommended composition: 2 tanks, 2 healers, 4 DPS
• You cannot kill all nodes within the time limit - plan your route carefully
