The Boss will summon the swords

Posted on 14 February, 2023 by lowes emily

Essentially, when an Illusion Sword is picked up, the entire party gets  Lost Ark Gold the Illusion Sword debuff, and while that debuff is up two things can happen:

A player hits the Phantom Legion King, gets rid of the debuff for the party and is then able to hit the Boss from that point on without worry. Another player picks up an Illusion Sword while the debuff is active or attacks the Boss without a debuff and the whole party is immediately wiped out.
To prevent the second situation from happening, this is where the "order" mechanic comes into play. Basically, each player is meant to trigger the debuff by running into their Illusion Sword, start hitting the boss to deplete its Stagger Check bar, and also get rid of the debuff. Then, the next player grabs a sword and repeats this process. Meanwhile, the other party members are expected to kite the floating Illusion Sword following them around until it's their turn to complete this process.

To put it into simpler steps:

Before starting the fight, the party assigns an order for who goes first, second, third, and fourth (party order usually works to auto-assign this). Players should also expect to stand in the cardinal direction tied to their order number as well (NESW = 1234). Once this is established, players should go in and start the fight. As soon as the Boss gets to 16 or 6 HP bars left, players should immediately head to their assigned direction.

The Boss will summon the swords, and the first player should immediately grab theirs and start wailing on the boss. The rest of the party should kite their Swords while moving clockwise, making sure not to get too close to each other. After the debuff disappears when player 1 hits the Boss, player 2 can grab their sword (takes about 2 seconds on average). Player 2 starts wailing on the boss buy Lost Ark Gold . Player 3 grabs their Sword as soon as the debuff vanishes and then starts hitting the boss. Finally, player 4 grabs their Sword and starts hitting the boss, though usually the Stagger Check has been cleared by this point.
