Mirror Mechanics
Mirror Colors determine reflection timing:
- Blue mirrors: Reflect immediately
- Green mirrors: Reflect with medium delay
- Red mirrors: Reflect with long delay
Watch which attacks are cast and which mirrors are active to predict where reflections will hit.
Strategy:
- For Diamond Frost, marked players spread to assigned waymarks; others stack center
- Watch Shiva’s weapon for Driving/Biting Frost tells
- Mirror mechanics require tracking both the original cast and reflection timing
- During Shining Armor, look away immediately
- For Axe Kick stay in, for Scythe Kick stay out
Notes: This encounter concludes the Eden’s Verse tier. The mirror mechanic adds layers of complexity that distinguish this fight from other primal encounters.
