Strategy notes

Boxes:

  • Every pop hits the whole raid with a stacking 6-second bleed, so only the Box Popper pops.
  • Pattern: 2 stacks, let it drop, 2 more, repeat. 3 stacks only if needed, never during Blink overlaps.
  • Unpopped boxes glow green and Relic Rupture the raid.
  • Don't stand in box spawn circles; they one-shot.

Tanks:

  • Start with Iku and Gebbo tanked together.
  • Then alternate bosses by ultimate timing and HP to keep all three even.

Gebbo (hardest):

  • Only 1 mushroom per bomb. Marker both bombs and the mushroom bait spots.
  • Ranged stand on the purple marker to bait the mushroom; when it appears, step away but stay close.
  • The bomb carrier runs to the room edge, away from the raid and the mushroom.
  • Never pop the mushroom early; without blinks there's no way past Blast Wave.
  • The 2nd bait spawns the instant you land from the first pop, near the same spot. Someone must spot where it landed and move off it: you need it for bomb two.
  • Clear Gebbo's ultimate and the fight gets very forgiving.

Iku:

  • Spread, don't stack. Run into a floor patch of the opposite type from your debuff.
  • Everyone clears their Frostfire stacks; a leftover stack into the next set is an Elemental Explosion wipe.

Nama:

  • Mighty Thud: line the soaks away from the boss.
  • Everyone soaks the closest (first) one, standing on the side of the soak to get knocked into the second, then the third.

Positioning:

  • Blink Nova always goes 20+ yards from melee.
  • Iku tanked alone: put it near Iku but away from the raid. Iku with Gebbo: put it ahead of Gebbo's walking direction.
  • Shell Spin only targets melee, so bait it toward the wall.
