Warrior of Light (Elidibus)

Pre-Fight Setup

Assign clock positions for spread mechanics and designate light party stacks.

Phase 1

Mechanic	Type	Description
Terror Unleashed	Raidwide	HP reduced to 1 with Walking Dead debuff. Healers must top everyone off immediately.
To the Limit 3	AoE	First Limit Break attack requiring full party positioning.
To the Limit 2	AoE	Second LB attack with different formation requirements.
To the Limit 1	AoE	Third LB attack variation.
Solemn Confiteor	Spread	Spread markers under players. Move to assigned clock positions.
Imbued Saber (Stone/Holy + Fire/Ice)	AoE	Saber imbued with two elements. Stone = knockback (position accordingly), Holy = stack. Fire = stop moving, Ice = keep moving. Handle both elements in sequence.
Sword of Light	AoE	Triangular danger zone from floating sword. Identify safe side.
The Bitter End	Tankbuster	Heavy tankbuster requiring strong mitigation.
Dragon Dive	AoE	Boss jumps to player—spreads required.
Gaze	Gaze	Look away from the boss to avoid debuff.
Elddragon Dive	AoE	Enhanced dive attack with larger AoE.

Notes: Phase 1 introduces the LB mechanics and elemental combinations. Learn to read the two-element Imbued Saber quickly.

Add Phase

Mechanic	Type	Description
Spectral Warriors	Adds	Spectral adds spawn and must be handled.
HR Tethers	AoE	Tethers require specific positioning—one common strategy has healers take tethers.
DPS Towers	Stack	Towers spawn that DPS must soak.
Ultimate Crossover	Raidwide	Heavy damage if mechanics aren’t handled correctly.

Notes: The add phase requires coordination. Assign tether handlers and tower soakers beforehand.

Phase 2

Mechanic	Type	Description
Job Combinations	AoE	Boss uses combinations based on job pairings: WHM+BLM (healer/caster combo), DRK+BRD (tank/ranged combo), NIN (uptime mechanic), SMN+WAR (summoner/warrior combo). Each has unique mechanics.
Quintuplecast	AoE	Boss casts five spells in sequence. Watch and react to each in order.
Fast Sword of Light	AoE	Faster version of Phase 1 Sword of Light. Less time to identify safe zone.
Hallowed Ground	Tankbuster	Boss uses Hallowed Ground animation before a massive attack.
The Bitter End	Tankbuster	Returns with higher damage.
Enrage	Enrage	Must defeat the boss before enrage.

Notes: Phase 2 job combinations require learning each pattern. The fight has a strict DPS check—maintain uptime while handling mechanics.

Mechanic Details

Mechanic	Type	Description
WHM+BLM	AoE	Healing magic combined with black magic creates specific AoE patterns.
DRK+BRD	AoE	Dark Knight and Bard abilities create darkness zones with traveling AoEs.
NIN	AoE	Ninja mechanics allow for uptime if positioned correctly.
SMN+WAR	Adds	Summoner summons and Warrior attacks create add spawns with charge mechanics.
