The Pool of Tribute

A trial against the primal Susano, Lord of the Revel, summoned by the Kojin. This fight introduces several mechanics that become more complex in Extreme mode.

Susano

Phase 1

Mechanic	Type	Description
Assail	Tankbuster	Cast after each mechanic set. Tank should use cooldowns.
Rasen Kaikyo	AoE	All players are targeted with puddles. Run away immediately to avoid damage and debuffs.
Churning	AoE	Four players receive a debuff. When dice markers appear with 3 seconds remaining, STOP moving and attacking to avoid Lightning Resist Down.
Brightstorm	Knockback / Stack	A player is marked orange, knocked back across the arena, then marked for a stack. Return to group.
Thunderhead	AoE	Column AoEs spawn from arena edges targeting a player. Bait them away from the group.

Notes: Keep Susano positioned in the center or at the edge of the arena facing outward.

Phase 2

Mechanic	Type	Description
Blade Shadow	Adds / Enrage	Giant sword appears. Main tank must interact with purple marker and button-mash to shield the raid. DPS must burn down the sword quickly.
Shock Orbs	AoE	Off-tank should Sprint clockwise through all orbs with mitigation cooldowns to prevent raid damage.

Notes: All players stack in the middle to begin Phase 2. Tanks swap roles after each sword phase.

Phase 3

Mechanic	Type	Description
Stormsplitter	Tankbuster	High damage tankbuster requiring tank swaps.
Levin Bolt	Spread	Purple-marked players run to the opposite side of a black line that appears.
Rock Trap	Adds	One player becomes trapped in a rock. DPS must focus the rock to free them.
Brightstorm	Knockback / Stack	Orange-marked players run far behind the group to designate the safe zone.

Notes: Tank positioning returns to Phase 1 setup. Be ready for quick tank swaps on Stormsplitter.
