Boss and mechanic notes

AAC Heavyweight M3 has local boss notes for: Iron Fist: The Tyrant. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.

• Crown of Arcadia: Physical raid-wide damage.
• Draw Steel: The boss equips a weapon (either a scythe, axe, or sword), denoting a late-telegraphed AoE when he uses Smashdown.
• Scythe: Donut AoE (inside hitbox safe).
• Axe: Point-blank AoE (slightly outside max melee range safe).
• Sword: A plus-shaped AoE relative to where he is facing.
• Void Stardust: Gives each player a purple spread AoE marker with an arrow, indicating that each player will be hit three times with an AoE. Each hit will leave behind a circle AoE telegraph of the same size, which should be avoided.
• The boss will use a sword Smashdown afterwards, so it is possible that the plus AoE will be at an angle if the boss was turned during the previous mechanic.
• Trophy Weapons: Summons a sword, axe, and scythe at various locations.
• Assault Evolved: The boss tethers one weapon, which forms a chain with all weapons. This indicates that the boss will jump to the tethered weapon, perform its relevant AoE at that location, then jump to the next weapon until all three have resolved. Keep in mind where the boss faces for the sword AoEs.
• Raw Steel Trophy: The boss equips a sword, indicating mechanics for Dance of Domination.
• Dance of Domination: Eight hits of physical raid-wide damage and leaves behind white gashes on the floor, which will explode as wide late-telegraphed line AoEs. The middle of the two large triangles is safe.
• Raw Steel Trophy: The boss equips an axe, indicating mechanics for Dance of Domination.
• Raw Steel: A split-damage physical tankbuster targeting the off-tank, and spread AoE markers on all non-tanks.
• Charybdistopia: Reduces everyone's HP to 1.
