EX4 writeup

EX 4 Brief Writeup
- Clock Spots, Light Parties, & Markers
- ABCD cardinals (a bit far out)
- 1234 intercardinals (a little closer in)
- Supports at Cardinals, DPS at intercards (melees take SW/SE for positionals)

Opener: Raidwide damage

Eschelon’s Fall
“Feel the sting of my divine blade!”
Clock spots + Spread + Tower soaks

“Try this!”
Tethers + Cleave – Tanks grab tethers and aim small cleave/protean away from party (~45degree ish, not super skinny but not huge)

“No Quarter!”
Witch hunt + M1S protean baits
Purple = Out/Far, Pink = In/Close
Role baits + Protean cleave. Supports probably bait first?
So either go in or out depending what was first.
There are 4 total. Rotate/swap as needed.

“Taste my steel!”
Multi-hit party stack

“I will show you the soul of a royal knight!”
Summons adds into arena that are tethered to her.
Phantoms will cleave while players need to soak enum towers(?)
If marked, bait the phantom’s cleave to the outside of arena

“For the honor and glory of Alexandria, I Strike!”
Perfumed Quietus – Raidwide


“No more games!”- Bloom 1
Arena split into pie slices with cleaves + safe area + rotating (like Emerald Weapon)
Party spread on non-bloomed slices
Raidwide damage after party spread

“You’ve no time even to fear my wrath!” – Bloom 2
Thunder slash – in or out + pie slices and alternating cleaves (“Heavens roar!”)
“Try this!” Specter of the Lost
Tethers + Cleave again (for Tanks)

“There is no escape!” – Bloom 3, cast is Bud of Valor
“Surge!” Casts Emblazon
Role markers? Some party members marked with rose markers. Find your color marker & pair. Drop in safe slice then move out
Locate the empty slice in between the 2 glowy slices near center. That’s the new north. Can be either N or S quadrant

Bloom 4
Group starts at quadruple group on the side with non-glowy slices, could be either N or S quadrant
Role based. G1: West; G2: East, Melees N, Ranged S – Drop your rose markers on the safe ‘cuts’ according to this priority.
If you did not get rose marker, don’t touch any unsafe rose slices – gives a bleed
Non-marked players will spread in opposite quadrant
Supports Left, DPS Right (looking at boss/middle)
If you have the AOE, stand in thorn
If you have stack, stand next to the thorn & make it overlap. This is an 8 stack, do not separate into light parties.

Bloom 5
Watch outside of Arena for 2 sets of crescent slash cleaves
At the same time, boss will do thunder slash – check if donut/aoe. SPRINT. Move as soon as first donut/aoe goes off

Bloom 6 WIP on Raidplan right now. (this one, via the Balance: <https://raidplan.io/plan/-Wj9LY4RpWBtEnpX> )
Tank LB if you want to be safe, stand in the tiny gap for the middle towers lol
(WIP on rest; was watching Yukizuri vid; may not have time to finish this today sorry. LMK if I got anything wrong, I've been at work all day)
