Alexander - The Cuff of the Son raid guide

Boss and mechanic notes

Alexander - The Cuff of the Son has local boss notes for: Blaster, Brawler, Swindler, Vortexer. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.

• Blaster drops mines which can and should be avoided (tank may have to move the boss depending on the placement)
• Players will then be marked and have copies of Blaster fall on them.
• Spread out to avoid overlapping damage. |
• Try to spread out in a line to make it easier to deal with
• The copies will charge in the direction they are facing after a short delay
• If tagged, you will take damage and receive a Vulnerability Up debuff.
• Tanks don't have to swap.
• Tank should face the boss away while everyone else stacks right behind it.
• Brawler has three different attacks. Look at the hands to figure out which is coming.
• Single drill targets a random player with a proximity line AoE.
• If there's a single laser, the tank can soak this by themselves with mitigation
• If it's a double laser, the tank should join the group and split the damage.
• Note that lethal damage from the lasers will bypass tank invulnerabilities.
• Tanks should swap after 3-4 stacks of the Magic Vulnerability Up debuff.
