基石守护者艾迪娜 Cardinal Adina

There is a 坚韧 -based tank.

Power DPS is generally preferred because of the short burst phases. 基石守护者艾迪娜 clears conditions at each split phase. If phases are long, condi DPS is okay.

Pre-Event

Head east from the Leystone access. The way is blocked by an Earth Elemental with 5 stacks of and 5 pillars in front of it. The stacks of prevent it from taking any damage due to the 100% damage reduction.

Two players should hide behind each of the five pillars. The Earth Elemental will destroy the pillars with 2 players behind them. Each pillar that is destroyed removes one stack of 。

Being hit by causes 致盲 和 the player.

Killing the elemental opens a door to the Basalt Arena where 基石守护者艾迪娜 awaits.

Tanking

基石守护者艾迪娜 doesn’t hit particularly hard so high 坚韧 isn’t needed. The tank needs a channeled block, 稳固 ，or 圣盾 ： (Cone)。

Groups usually tank to the south, but some tank west. Stay on the green tiles, directly on the edge of hitbox.

The tank cannot be picked for pillar baiting.

When (Mines) appear, dodge over the one closest to 基石守护者艾迪娜 。 If done properly, it will explode but you won’t take damage. When she phases, all of the explode so this prevents you from taking damage from the closest one.

(Cone) appears as a large orange cone. It tracks with you for 3 seconds and then 基石守护者艾迪娜 slams into the ground, knocking back and doing moderate damage. Block, 圣盾 ，or 稳固 the attack. 稳固 will only negate the ，not the damage.

When 基石守护者艾迪娜 is about to hit a phase, move to the side so you aren’t standing where (Wall) will spawn.

When split phases are ending, get back to 基石守护者艾迪娜 before the rest of the group so she doesn’t turn around and hit them.

Tectonic Upheaval - "Pillars"

The 5 players furthest from 基石守护者艾迪娜 (tank not included) are selected for (Pillars)。 They have yellow text pop up on screen that says “You have been targeted by ！” and get an audio ding notification. They receive an AoE the size of one tile that follows them for 5 seconds and expands.

After 5 seconds, the AoE gets a script around the border and remains wherever the player was standing. 2 seconds later, a pillar erupts out of the ground. It instantly kills any player standing on top of it. Players within one tile of the pillar are 残废 ，，and receive (Blind)。

Pillar baiters are usually done by supports and ranged DPS. Baiters should be assigned ahead of time.

Pillars dropped next to, or on top of, each other are destroyed. If one player of a pair is dead, the remaining player should become the baiter regardless of what class they’re playing (excluding the tank)。 If the phase lasts long enough that pillars drop twice, they will need to drop their next pillar next to the still-standing one to destroy it. Each standing pillar gives 基石守护者艾迪娜 a stack of (Stacks)。

If two players are dead, the alive players of those pairs should place their pillars on top of each other and become pillar buddies. Scale up if needed for even numbers of dead pillar baiters. If it’s an odd number greater than 1, merge the even numbers and then use the method above to have the odd person destroy their own pillar each time.

There are several options for dropping pillars (there is no officially recognized terminology in pug groups for methods 2 and 3)。

Attacks

(Auto Attack): 基石守护者艾迪娜 gains 2 stacks of might, attacks the tank, and causes a ripple effect on tiles in a cone shape towards the tank. The rippling tiles damage players and pillars. Pillars are damaged by the first attack, then destroyed by a second. Already damaged pillars are destroyed.

(Cone): A large orange cone aimed at the tank that reaches to the edge of the arena. It tracks the tank for 3 seconds and then 基石守护者艾迪娜 slams into the ground, knocking back and doing moderate damage. Block, 圣盾 ，or 稳固 the attack. 稳固 will only negate the ，not the damage.

(Boulders): 基石守护者艾迪娜 targets each player and fires a boulder at them after a short delay. Boulders instantly 翻滚 players and can be avoided by hiding behind a pillar or jumping into sand. Pillars are destroyed after blocking two attacks. If there are fewer than 2 players behind a pillar, it will only be damaged, not destroyed. If there are more than 2 players behind a pillar, a random player in the arena will be 倒地 。

Phase 1 (100%-75%)

Start the fight with 2 players behind each pillar. There should be one baiter and one non-baiter at each one. Non-baiters should remember who their pillar buddy is.

Non-baiters should not leave the green tiles in the center except to hide behind pillars or do split phases. Baiters should not go fully in the green tiles; the edge of the green is in melee range.
