Video example

• If tanking, consider taking extra toughness as the boss's autoattacks hit fairly hard.
• Bring 重力陷阱 for the breakbars.
• Maintain a sword clone in the split phase to help with boon removal.
• If using Focus, 凡尘帷幔 can help with seeker control.
• Save 恍惚狂热 to evade through blue AOEs while keeping up DPS.
• Save 失真 to negate the damage of a Green in high preasure situations.
  • You can bring 幻象纹章 to immediately refresh your 失真 after a green, allowing you to use it twice per phase.

For more information, see our Vale Guardian Guide.

• With 镜像复制, 闪光传送 and 传送入口 you can quickly move your group through these events.
• Drop 传送入口 at your group's location. When you see a rift appear, 镜像复制 ⇒ 闪光传送 and open 传送出口 at the rift location. Then 闪光传送 to the closest Adrenal Mushroom, and return to your group to repeat for the next rift.
• During the Spirit Run event, you can drop a 传送入口 at the rift immediately after the glide section and 镜像复制 ⇒ 闪光传送 ⇒ 闪光传送 to the spirit wall. If your group has enough DPS, you can destroy the wall and finish the event before the final two rifts explode.

For more information, see our Spirit Woods Guide.

• Bring 重力陷阱 for the breakbars.
• You can use 专注咒语, to provide 稳固 for the slams.
• You can use 幻象跳跃 and 移形换位 to immobilize Charged Souls.
• If using Focus, use 凡尘帷幔 to pull the adds. The pull works best if you place the curtain just behind his hitbox.

For more information, see our Gorseval Guide.

• Bring 时间扭曲 as there is only one breakbar which your teammates can easily cover.
• Use Focus and 凡尘帷幔 to pull the bandit adds for easier cleaving. You can do this when Sabetha starts her flamewall.
• Be careful of teleporting into flamewalls with 时空转移. You might have to abort CS early or delay it to avoid this.
• You might need to abort Continuum Split if you have to throw a bomb.

For more information, see our Sabetha Guide.

• Bring 重力陷阱 for the breakbars.
• Use 凡尘帷幔 to pull some slublings but always make sure you don't pull your friendly slubling.
• You can use 凡尘帷幔 without the pull (or delay the pull) to provide more projectile defense.
• If you are using 斥力穹窿 keep in mind where your group will stand in the next few seconds. When you're about to move don't place it on your current position.
• 失真 can be used to destroy the projectiles from the unblockable shake attack by jumping inside the boss when it shakes like a wet dog.

For more information, see our Slothasor Guide.

• Bring 重力陷阱 for add control.
• Use Focus to pull mobs together.

For more information, see our Bandit Trio Guide.

• Bring 重力陷阱 as failing to CC will result in a squad member's death.
• Be careful with your reflects! You should only use 斥力穹窿 to break Bloodstone Shield. If you reflect his slam attack Matthias will get a damage buff for each projectile you reflected.
  • Also be careful with 时间潮汐 as this skill will eat the shards needed to break Bloodstone Shield.

For more information, see our Matthias Guide.

• Bring 重力陷阱 for add control.
• The most popular strat for this encounter is "all up" or "insta cap", where one chronomancer solos the cave, tanks the tower mobs, and uses 传送入口 to taxi the group up to every tower. This lets you effectively have 9 people on both the main path and the towers. If you are filling this role consider running extra toughness to make it easier to survive the tower mobs on your own. See the Heal Chrono page for details.
  • If your group is fast you might need to 镜像复制 your 传送入口, or ask another mesmer to bring 传送入口 and help you port the 4th tower.
  • If your team is okay with you not giving quickness in order to make sure you can reliably solo the skip part, you can bring 闪光传送 and 群体隐形.
• Use Focus to pull mobs together.

For more information, see our Siege the Stronghold Guide.

• Bring 重力陷阱 for the breakbars.
• Make sure to have 急速 ready for the burn phase.
• You can use 专注咒语 to provide 稳固 for the Tower Drop.
• Use 凡尘帷幔 to help pull the core through the rifts. Coordinate with other players on who is going to pull and when.

For more information, see our Keep Construct Guide.

• If tanking, consider running extra toughness as there is a lot of random damage on this fight and your healer will have their hands full.
• Bring 重力陷阱 for the breakbars.
• 永恒法池 can be useful for condition cleanse and 超级学者符文 uptime.
• Use your 凡尘帷幔 to pull adds into the boss.
• You can use 凡尘帷幔 to pull orbs. Make sure to pull the last orb to make sure you're not pulling more than one orb.
• If you're tanking, make sure to keep Xera facing away from your group as her Blurred Frenzy will deal massive damage to your DPS. You can use 恍惚狂热, 回忆幻像 or 失真 to protect yourself from the attack while staying in place.

For more information, see our Xera Guide.

• Bring 时间扭曲 as there are no breakbars here.
• You can use 恍惚狂热 to evade through red AOEs while keeping up DPS.
• If doing greens, you should delay your 急速 until everyone is back in the center.

For more information, see our Cairn the Indomitable Guide.

• Bring 时间扭曲 as there are no breakbars here.
• You should take either Claim or Dispel to get 时流不息 on the special action key.

For more information, see our Mursaat Overseer Guide.

• Bring 重力陷阱 as Samarog has a huge breakbar and failing to CC will result in a squad member's death.
• Coordinate your CC with your teammates; try not to burn too many big CCs on the same breakbar.
• Use 堕入虚无 to pull Rigom under Samarog during the split phases.

For more information, see our Samarog Guide.

• Bring 时间扭曲 as the breakbars are small and easily broken by your teammates.
• You can block the pizza attacks and Mind Crush with Inspiration and 群体失真.
  • Note that a player standing in two pizza slices at the same time will still get hit.
• If tanking, save 恍惚狂热 to dodge the pizza attack while staying in place.
• You can use any of your blocks or 预知法池 to block Mind Crush.

For more information, see our Deimos Guide.

• If tanking, consider taking extra toughness as the boss's autoattacks hit fairly hard.
• Bring 谦逊纹章 as failing to CC will wipe the group and 重力陷阱 is risky with the Tormented Dead around.
• Take care when using 时间潮汐 as it will freeze Tormented Dead in place and interrupt knockbacks.
• If you're tanking, coordinate the aggro swap with the other tank. Aim to swap aggro as soon as your current stacks expire.
• If you're tanking, move the boss near the wurms at the start so your DPS can cleave them down (with 恶疾肆虐 or otherwise).
• Make sure to stand behind Soulless Horror if possible. If you're the tank, keep her facing in the same direction as her attacks deal massive damage to anyone who isn't the tank.

For more information, see our Soulless Horror Guide.

• Use 幻影狂战 and 幻影除魔 to quickly strip boons from Dhuum.
• 闪光传送 can allow you to minimise your time away from the group if doing greens.
• 闪光传送 can also be useful if you bait the shackle mechanic by standing as close to Dhuum as you can, then immediately blinking away to break them (this assumes you are not tanking).

For more information, see our Dhuum Guide.

• Focus is very helpful for pulling in Swords.
• Focus and 时间潮汐 can be used to ensure the players collecting orbs have 迅捷.
• 重力陷阱 can CC multiple Shields if placed carefully.
• You can use 专注咒语 to provide 稳固 for the slams.

For more information, see our Conjured Amalgamate Guide.

• If going to Kenut's side, 专注咒语 might save people from the shockwave attack.
  • It can also be used as a stunbreak if you get CC'd.
• Use 幻影狂战 and 幻影除魔 to quickly strip boons in case Kenut steals them.

For more information, see our Largos Assassins Guide.

• Portal is incredibly useful here for quickly moving your group around the arena and even skipping the entire jumping puzzle at the end! See our guide for more details.
• Focus is also very useful as it can pull the Magma Elementals into the group for easier cleaving.
• 专注咒语 may be useful to protect agains the Magma Elemental's knock attacks.
• Bring 重力陷阱 to ensure you can break the legendary creatures before they finish their attacks.

For more information, see our Qadim Guide.

• Bring 重力陷阱 to break Sabir's breakbars as quickly as possible.
• 传送入口 can be used to save some distance in the split phases
• Timed correctly, 失真 can be used to ignore the shockwave.
  • So can 幻象跳跃 ⇒ 移形换位, but it's less reliable and can get you killed in the last phase if your clone ends up in the wrong place.

For more information, see our Cardinal Sabir Guide.

• Many groups will stick together in the split phases. By dropping a 传送入口 near the north-west hand as you run around to avoid the sand beam, you can portal your group after killing the south hands and avoid the dangerous run.
• If tanking, make sure to keep a block or 失真 for the cone attack.

For more information, see our Cardinal Adina Guide.

• You can either use 专注咒语 to provide 稳固 for the knockbacks.
• You can destroy the Caustic Chaos shockwaves by standing in front of them with 失真.
• You can help break Distortions with long-range CC such as 错乱咒语 or 支配纹章.
