Tips for Everyone
Wind Spirit Summon
Igoreus summons passive Wind Spirits to aid him. Wind Spirits drop Wind Spirit Spheres on death, which may be absorbed for an ATK% increase at the cost of also reducing your Defense. All Wind Spirits and Wind Spirit Spheres that remain when Igoreus casts Lightning Storm will be absorbed, making the fight harder.
- Slay Wind Spirits to prevent Igoreus from absorbing them with Lightning Storm.
- Damage dealers should absorb Wind Spirit Spheres equally to maximize party damage and ensure no one player suffers too great a Defense penalty.
Difficult +: Wind Spirits are now instead summoned on top of players alongside a circular AoE damage marker. Also, upon death, Wind Spirits will explode, dealing tremendous damage.
- Players marked with Wind Spirit AoEs must spread out and ensure they do not hit others with their AoE.
- Don’t drop Wind Spirits too close to Igoreus.
- Stagger the speed you kill Wind Spirits to give your healer a chance to recover. Killing all at once will cause a wipe.
Lightning Storm
Igoreus begins channeling Lightning Storm, absorbing all Wind Spirits and Wind Spirit Spheres, gaining a shield equivalent to the amount absorbed. For as long as Igoreus maintains his shield, he will pulse AoE damage, hitting the whole arena. Each pulse grants Igoreus a stacking buff, increasing the damage he deals. Breaking Igoreus will halt his cast, wipe his buff, stun him temporarily, and cause him to take more damage based on how fast it was broken.
- Slay all Wind Spirits and collect all Wind Spirit Spheres before Igoreus casts Lightning Storm to lower his shield size, allowing you to break it faster, minimizing his damage potential while maximizing the time he is vulnerable.
Howling Gale
Igorus becomes invulnerable, takes flight, and leaves the arena temporarily.
During this ability, the Boss will become invulnerable and summon strong winds that will push you in a certain direction. Igoreus will then fly around the arena before launching a sweeping attack, but only dealing damage on the side of his glowing wing.
- Resist the wind with movement abilities.
- Keep track of Igoreus around the arena and stay on the correct half of the arena when he dives in, being the side where his wing is not glowing.
Difficult +: Igoreus will summon Wind Tornadoes during this ability that will move around the arena.
- Dodge these whilst also making sure to dodge Igoreus’ sweeping attack.
World Collapse
The Boss will channel for a short period of time, with an island-wide AoE indicator appearing.
- Make your way to the center of the fight, as Igoreus will then crash downwards, causing the ground to fracture upwards and deal high damage at the edges of the arena. Players in the center will still take some damage.
Floating Island Battle
Igoreus will flee the stage when low and fly to the Floating Islands to recover his health.
- Use your “Float” Resonance Ability to chase him down and finish the fight.
- Float over to the Island that Igoreus has landed on.
Thunder Destruction
Igoreus will target the character with the highest aggro, launching a massive island-wide circle appearing on them, containing outwards-facing arrows.
- The targeted player must float away from the island with Igoreus and the other players (use Resonance Ability “Float”).
- The rest of the party should use this as a free DPS window on the Boss.
Wind Spirit Ore
On the Floating Islands, there are Wind Spirit-infused ore nodes, shown as white crystal clusters with a purple electric aura.
- When Igoreus uses “Thunder Rage Strike”, use his attack to shatter the ores by making sure they are in the attack’s AoE indicator.
The ore will release “Wind Spirit Energy” like previous mechanics, offering ATK% at the cost of some DEF Reduction.
- Pick these up to increase DPS and avoid him stacking up a strong Shield later.
Difficult +: Wind Spirit Ore will also drop Thunder Corrosion Energy, which also reduces DEF but does not increase ATK%.
- Tanks can pick these up; other players should avoid them.
Tips for Damage
Lightning Storm
Save your burst rotation for this ability, as you will first want to destroy the shield for a lengthy Vulnerable debuff, and then unleash as much damage as possible during said debuff. If you don’t destroy the shield, the boss will also be greatly enhanced.
Tips for Tanks
Wind Breath
Igoreus fixates on the highest aggro party member and takes a deep breath, marking a massive portion of the arena in front of him and begins firing a huge dragon breath from one side of the marking to the other.
- Face Igoreus away from the group at all times to ensure only you, as the tank, will be hit. Optionally use dodges and dashes to avoid the breath yourself, but be aware you’ll need to quickly relocate back afterward.
Electro Blast
Igoreus marks the highest aggro party member with a red AoE marker containing a pulsing arrow above it. After a short period, the marker will explode, dealing incredible damage.
- Prepare cooldowns and use them at the right moment to mitigate damage.
