6. Phase-by-Phase Strategy

Each phase is stacked with mechanics that escalate in intensity. We cover every major phase in detail, from initial impacts to enrage. For clarity and performance, consider grouping with Onlyfarms.gg’s Raid Groups to avoid inconsistent Party Finder strategies.

5.1 Phase One – Basic Mechanics

Key Mechanics:

  • Brutal Impact
  • Knuckle Sandwich
  • Quadruple/Octuple Lariat
  • Quadraboom/Octoboom Dive
  • Barbarous Barrage
  • Murderous Mist

Positioning and uptime planning are key. Correct movement ensures safety and damage output.

5.2 Phase Two – Doping Draught I

Major Mechanics:

  • Tag Team Chain Deathmatch
  • Final Fusedown
  • Fusefield + Bombarian Flame
Mechanic Solution
Chain Deathmatch Take first Lariat hit from correct clone
Final Fusedown Short fuse role spreads; long fuse role stacks afterward
Fusefield Use role-based fuse detonation timing

 

Avoid time-consuming party wipes — get reliable clears and DPS benchmarks from Onlyfarms.gg PvE services.

5.3 Phase Three – Doping Draught II

Major Mechanics:

  • Quadraboom/Octoboom Bombarian Special
  • Fuse of Fury
  • Infernal Spin + Fuse or Foe
  • Upgraded Barbarous Barrage

Every movement matters. Players must identify safe zones, coordinate spreads, and avoid stacking vulnerabilities.
