Strategy Guide

FIGHT OVERVIEW
  • 3 phase encounter with an intermission after P1

  • L'ura has a unique memory game mechanic. She'll flash runes in a pattern and mark players with them. You'll have to match the pattern.

  • Tons of glaives will fill the room and bounce around. Lots of dodging!

  • Healed crystals will turn to Dawn Crystals. Pick them up and keep them safe; you'll use them in P3 to protect the group from deadly blasts.

  • Use beams to destroy Void Cores in phase 2.

  • In phase 3, stay in the safety of the light from the crystal holders.

Heroic Changes
  • Dawn Crystals and holders should avoid cosmic damage. Crystals being hit by cosmic mechanics will create soak circles.

  • Beams in phase 2 now need to be soaked together. Sort out groups and a plan ahead of time.

  • Phase 3 has an additional mechanic: soak the circles to drain them before they explode.

Mythic Changes
  • L'ura has a secret mythic-only phase!

  • Players will be split into 3 groups during the P1 memory games and must share the hidden runes with their team.

  • P1 prisms will now increase boss damage dealt, rather than reduce boss damage taken.

  • Crystals are destroyed and kill the raid instantly if on the ground and hit by a mechanic.

  • In P2, the boss and raid are split into two.

  • P2 has a new memory matching game.

Memory game

Memory game! L'ura flashes a sequence of runes around herself. Players will then be marked above their heads by the runes.


Then, L'ura will shoot a laser in front of her and spin clockwise, destroying the runes off the players' heads in the order they are touched.


On Mythic, L'ura will split some players into different phases during the Memory Game. 5 players will be sent red,


5 blue, and the rest will stay in the regular phase. Each phase will be able to see different parts of the memory sequence. Share with your team so everyone knows the correct sequence, then solve it as normal.


Everyone returns to the same phase after.

Dawn Crystal
Dawn Crystals

Fully healed Dusk Crystals turn to Dawn Crystals. Players can pick them up and drop them using their extra action button and also take DoT damage while holding them.


After 3s of being left on the ground, they begin to pulse massive raid damage, so they need to be picked up quickly any time they are dropped.


On mythic, if a crystal is on the ground and gets hit by a mechanic, it gets destroyed and wipes the raid.

Galvanize
Lines

Void Cores spin around the outside of the room. Use Galvanize, a targeted line mechanic, to destroy cores by aiming at them.


On heroic, Galvanize is a high damage soak mechanic. Groups should be assigned ahead of time for soak locations.


Because Galvanize is a cosmic mechanic, players holding Dawn Crystals need to drop their crystals out of the soak and quickly pick them back up after, otherwise avoid soaking at all.

and safe places to stand
