Sigmascape V3.0 raid guide

Raid (Normal) quick facts

Boss and mechanic notes

Sigmascape V3.0 has local boss notes for: Guardian. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.

• Magitek Ray - Guardian turns to face a random player and - after an animated wind-up - emits a straight-line AoE across the arena. As a rule of thumb, if the Guardian turns to face you or your general direction unexpectedly and you notice blue energy forming by its cannon, a hefty side-step can take you out of danger. Any player hit by the beam will suffer high damage and be afflicted with a stackable Vulnerability Up debuff.
• Arm & Hammer - a tankbuster against Guardian's current target. Be sure to mitigate the blow with cooldowns whenever possible.
• Diffractive Laser - raidwide AoE attack. Bear in mind that Diffractive Laser will often be used as a 'loaded-program' filler.
• Prey Missile - places a noticeably large orange-red marker on a random DPS. After a brief delay, the marked target will suffer moderate damage and a flaming debuff.
• Load Program - as mentioned before, the monitors outside of the arena will display an image that represents which program is being loaded. There are four possible programs - each being represented by a recognizable sprite of Dadaluma, Ultros, Air Force, and Bibliotaph. Bear in mind that loaded programs are not always in a static order, so instead, we'll describe each one individually.

Verification boundary

This page is generated from local TJPedia wiki data. It does not invent missing mechanics, NPC coordinates, loot tables, or current-party-finder strategies. High-end positioning and current-prog tactics still need human review before being labeled as a full strategy guide.

• Source-backed: duty facts, local boss notes, achievements, and music.
• Needs human review: exact high-end progression strategy.
• Use official patch notes for changed requirements or rewards.
