    Kill another 。 When everyone's together, go to the main platform, starting Main Phase 2.

    Main Phase 2 (80% to 60%)

    Main Phase 2 is the same as Main Phase 1, but with tornadoes and

    Tornadoes move on the arena's patterned tiles. To avoid them, stack near the boss, off of the white and turquoise tiles.

    Tornadoes move counterclockwise on the patterned tiles of the platform. To avoid the tornadoes, stand near ,between the patterned tiles in the north/east/south/west.

    When you touch tornadoes, you lose Violent Currents and are launched into the air. When you lose Violent Currents, the tornado makes 4 Shocking Barrage projectiles.

    DPS while stacking together and avoiding the patterned tiles.

    At 75%, uses 。 Use a tornado to go into the air (and if needed, glide), landing after the shockwave.

    Watch for expanding orange rings; after ring 1, go to a tornado; after ring 2, shockwave appears. If needed, use Flash Discharge to teleport to a tornado.

    Continue DPSing

    At 60%, uses and flies away, starting Movement Phase 2.

    1. repeat

    At 50%, a giant orange-AoEed tornado (Titanic Twister) spawns, rotating clockwise around the main platform. Move so that you're stacking behind the giant tornado, while still avoiding the small tornadoes. For ,use the bubble that's further from the tornado.

    At 40%/30%/20%/10%, a side platform appears. A spawns 5 seconds later, followed by a if not killed after 30 seconds.

    Depending on your wisp-handling strategy, either the wisp-killer goes to the side platforms, or the projectile-handlers start blocking projectiles.

    Paralyzing Wisps (and Voltaic Wisps, if not killed) spawn on side platforms: west at 40% boss health, north at 30%, east at 20%, and (usually ignored) south at 10%. To move between platforms, glide into Updrafts. The corner Updrafts are bigger and better; the Updrafts directly between the main and side platforms are smaller and weaker. Be careful when moving between platforms! Fury of the Storm, Titanic Twister, and Voltaic Wisps can kill!

    Go to side platforms, CC before killing them, and then glide back to the main platform.

    Go to the side platform by using a tornado and gliding, or by gliding into a big at the corners of the arena.

    • Use the big at the corners, not the small between the main and side platforms. The small don't launch you as high as the big ones.
    • Be careful when moving between the main and side platforms! If you're too close to the main platform, will you, causing you to fall and die.

    CC before killing them.

    • If you're using 切换武器 to it first, increasing your CC.

    After killing a ,glide back to the main platform.

    • After killing a covers the side platform until it respawns.
    • If it's too dangerous to return to the platform (,the giant tornado, etc.), stay on the side platforms. Using the can kill you (,nearby )。
    • respawn after 40 seconds.

    Stack BEHIND Titanic Twister, and move between small tornado safe spots. If ignoring wisps, put projectile-absorbing/-reflecting skills between old/new safe spots.

    Use your projectile-absorbing/-reflecting skills on the squad.

    If using //other non-moveable skills, place the AoE so it covers both the squad's current location and the next stacking location (e.g., if squad's stacked south, place the AoE so it covers south and west)。

    If using ,keep it on the squad, moving it when the squad moves.

    At <30%, the next 蔑视条 is always (instead of ), so use freely. Afterwards, attack pattern returns to normal.

    When dies, the fight ends.
