Mechanic notes

Local strategy notes are available. Treat them as prep notes and verify exact positioning for current high-end content before using them in progression.

• The "boss" is a series of waves of enemies. There is also a blue magitek robot which 1 or 2 raiders can choose to mount into.
• The Magitek armor mount has the ability to deal damage to the enemy, put a vulnerability debuff on the enemy, and most importantly, have the ability to drag the bombs which will spawn. The bombs have a wide explosion radius and stack a fire damage taken debuff on anyone hit.
• Players can fight the enemies on one side of the arena so that the bomb can be taken to the opposite corner and prevent raid damage. With current stats, this is not necessary, as the bombs only inflict minor damage if they explode.
• 1) Red Magitek Suits of Armor Boomtype Magitek Gobwalker
• :These enemies can inflict debuffs on the raid, they are a priority to kill.
• 2) Tall Robot Knights Jagd Dolls
