Some spells will have to be dropped in order to fit other mandatory spells. The drop priority is: Bristle, Sea Shanty, Rose of Destruction.

#12

#90

One DPS must apply Mortal Flame once at the start of the fight. A second DPS must apply Breath of Magic every 60 seconds. These players must use Bristle for these casts.

#109
#121

The mechanics in A4S require three additional spells for every DPS: White Wind, Diamondback, and Mighty Guard.

#13
#29
#30

The steamy leg needs to be interrupted with Bomb Toss. Since two random players are periodically abducted during the encounter, at least three people must have Bomb Toss.

#19

Off-guard lasts 15 seconds but has a recast time of 60 seconds. Ideally, four total players should bring Off-guard and use it in a rotation to maintain continuous uptime. It is also critical to apply Off-guard for the Final Sting phase.

#20

Breath of Magic DPS

The Breath of Magic caster will drop Sea Shanty and Rose of Destruction to fit Breath of Magic (keeping Bristle.)

DPS Without Angel Whisper

DPS without Angel Whisper can drop Bristle and Sea Shanty to fit Bomb Toss and Off-guard. Also, we thank them in advance for their selfless sacrifice to the Royal Pentacle mechanic near the end of the fight.

Rotation

Priority

  1. Is there a steamy leg? Throw Bomb Toss at it. QUICKLY!

    #19

  2. If the boss is below the Final String threshold, start the Final Sting rotation.

    The Final Sting threshold is between 20% and 30% depending on how many people are alive and using Final Sting. Apply Off-guard if necessary and begin the Final Sting rotation. Use all remaining cooldowns in the empty slot below, after Moon Flute and before you cast Whistle and Final Sting.

    #39
     
    #64
    #8

  3. If there is raid-wide damage coming within the next 5 seconds, cast Cold Fog.

    #84

  4. Apply Nightbloom or Song of Torment, buffed by Bristle if you have it.

    #12
    #9
    OR
    #12
    #104

    Nightbloom does not stack with Song of Torment. You may apply one or the other (although other players can still apply these debuffs.)

  5. Use Surpanakha if it has four charges. Use all four charges. Mash that button as fast as you can.

Actions During Downtime

After each leg dies, there is a downtime window. This is an ideal time to cast Lucid Dreaming and Bristle and to chug that all that Mtn Dew you bought in a failed attempt to get plushies that are now sold out.

The downtime window ends with raid-wide AOE damage. Cast Cold Fog within the 5 second window before that AOE damage. You will get 10 seconds of free procs of White Death, a 400 potency attack.
