Omega: Sigmascape V4.0

Stormblood Raid Lv70 iLvl 325

The fourth and final floor of Omega: Sigmascape, featuring Kefka from Final Fantasy VI. The mad clown god uses a “Trickery” mechanic that reverses normal mechanics.

Kefka

The iconic villain uses deceptive attacks where ”?” indicators reverse normal behavior.

Phase 1

Phase 2

MechanicTypeDescription
Ultima UpsurgeRaidwideModerate raid-wide damage - heal through

Graven Image (? Gaze)GazeTrickery eye - look AT the tower instead
Timely TeleportAoETwo black circles spawn - Kefka teleports to outer circle and attacks; safe zones are beside outer circle

The Trickery System:

  • Any telegraph with ”?” icons reverses the normal mechanic
  • Normal AoE = avoid it; ”?” AoE = stand in it
  • Normal spread = spread out; ”?” spread = stack up
  • Normal gaze = look away; ”?” gaze = look at it

Strategy:

  • Always check for ”?” indicators before reacting to mechanics
  • Watch the Graven Image tower carefully for its attack type
  • For Shockwave, position toward the blue orb before knockback
  • During Timely Teleport, find safe zones beside the outer circle

Notes: The entire fight tests your ability to recognize and respond to the Trickery mechanic. Train yourself to look for ”?” icons and reverse your normal instincts when they appear.
