AAC Cruiserweight M1 raid guide

Raid (Normal) quick facts

Boss and mechanic notes

AAC Cruiserweight M1 has local boss notes for: Party Animal: Dancing Green. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.

• Do the Hustle: One side of the boss will be surrounded by a wall of rainbow tiles, indicating a half-room cleave in that direction. Has no ground telegraph.
• 2-snap Twist: One side of the boss will spawn a wave of rainbow tiles, indicating two successive half-room cleaves in that direction, followed by an untelegraphed cleave on the other side. These cleaves and those from 4-snap Twist (below) will be synced to the rhythm of the background music.
• 4-snap Twist: Similar to 2-snap Twist but has four half-room cleaves on one direction before a final cleave in the other.
• Deep Cut: Telegraphed conal magical tankbuster on both tanks.
• Funky Floor: Five sets of alternating square AoEs (each covering one tile of the arena) in a checkerboard pattern.
• During the third set of telegraphs, the boss will use Full Beat, a stack marker on a random player dealing magical damage. Stack up on a safe tile, then dodge the final set of AoEs.
• Disco Infernal: Party-wide magical damage and assigns everyone a 17- and 35-second Burn Baby Burn debuff pair. Four spotlights will also spawn and move in fixed patterns (always horizontally or vertically). Players must be standing in a spotlight when their debuffs expire or they will be briefly stunned with Spotlightless and take heavy damage. There will be an overhead timer as a 5-second warning. Players who stand in a spotlight will be briefly incapacitated with In the Spotlight but will not take damage.
• The boss will use Do the Hustle after the first set of debuffs expire, after which players must stand in another spotlight for their second debuff.
• Celebrate Good Times: Party-wide magical damage.
• Ride the Waves: Arrow telegraphs will appear at the north row of tiles, leaving one tile empty. These will denote moving, three-tile-long AoEs that travel south. There will be a second set of telegraphs leaving a different column safe, with a one-row gap between the first and second AoE sets.
• 2-snap Twist or 4-snap Twist is used again when the second set of AoEs are around halfway down the arena.
• The boss will jump near the north of the arena and obtain Directional Disregard for this next mechanic.
• Ensemble Assemble: The boss summons eight untargetable Frogtourage backup dancer adds, one on each pedestal at the north of the arena.
• Arcady Night Fever: The adds will each sequentially pose with either their right or left hand raised. A Grooviness duty gauge will also appear.
