Diff - field boss quick guides - AION 2 Wiki

11 Field boss attacks can continue after the first dodge with another blast, a delayed ring or a lingering hazard. Use these cues to find safe ground before returning to attack.

33 These notes cover Verteron and Altgard. The regional copies of Silent Dartan, Soul Ruler Kashapa and High Commander Lagta have separate locations, as do Eternal and Immortal Gartua. For the roster, map features and schedule context, see Field Bosses. Abyss Bosses has the Abyss encounters. Eltnen and Morheim coverage is still being added.

55 Positioning and group roles

77 The tank should face frontal attacks away from the group when practical. Damage dealers can use a flank or rear while the boss commits to that attack. Reposition when it turns or starts a surrounding blast.

99 Example: tank in front, boss in the middle, damage dealers behind or beside it, healer on a clear flank. The group avoids a fan aimed at the tank. A circular blast makes every role leave its radius.

1010

1111 Damage dealers should destroy healing and support totems. Healers should keep allies within reach while preserving a clear movement route, then restore health from safe ground. Do not stop to heal inside poison, traps or an incoming marker.

1212

1313 Treat a dodge as movement to a checked destination. Look for lingering tornadoes, rotating walls and old poison pools before choosing that destination. These role assignments are tactical recommendations from the attack patterns; they are not fixed class requirements. Combat and Skill Chains explains the wider combat system.

1717 Find the encounter by its landmark, then watch its next move. A rear opening ends when the boss turns or attacks all around itself.

2525 When to return to attacking

2626

2727 Return after the complete sequence, not after an arbitrary pause. Kusan can follow four slams with fire; Sentinel K'nash detonates twice; and Axios repeats its crescent. Against Kashapa, movement is part of the response: clearing the center is followed by returning inward before the outer ring.

2828

2929 Wait for a clear approach when poison, a portal or a moving wall blocks the route back. Recheck facing after the boss changes target.
