Halicarnassus’s Abilities

Critical Hit: Super-heavy (physical) tank buster which always deals critical damage.

“Awareness” role-skill is advised. Shields and mitigation is advised. If using hallowed ground or similar try doing it for the same Critical Hit so healers learn how best heal/mitigate.

Dimensional Wave: Heavy raid-wide damage (magical). This gets thrown out a lot – players need to be at/near full health to take the damage without dying when un-mitigated.

Spellblade Holy: Marks 4 players randomly and tethers them into pairs. The tethered players will swap places once the cast goes off.

There is also a shared AoE marker! Players must stack where this is going to be. So, stack with the player tethered to the shared AoE marked player.

Mindjack: Will force the player to travel in the direction the arrow is pointing on your debuff.

Is a major “fail” mechanic, which may need explaining in detail for later iterations in fight.

Dual-Cast:

Fire: Donut shaped AoE – Get close to boss or far to avoid damage and burning Blizzard: Circular AoE on boss – Get far to avoid damage and being frozen

Thunder: Long line AoE – Dodge it sillies! #easymode

The Queen’s Waltz: Raid mechanic AoE – The mechanic will be different each phase or panel the boss is on during cast. Be afraid!

Animals:

Oink: Will turn any players not grouped together into piggies! (Stack together in center of map!)

Ribbit: Huge cone from boss which turns players into frogs. (Run behind boss before cast)

Squelch: Gaze attack! Will turn players facing the boss into Imps! (Turn away from boss)

Panel Waltz

Normal = Surround the boss at your positions to avoid overlapping damage.

Briar/Forest = Chained together. DPS are chained to a tank or healer & must break tether.

Mountain = Lit blue panels are safe-spots and will only suffer heavy damage instead of dying.

Library = “Folio” – A book will drop for every panel a player is on (move to your own panel).

Final/mixed = Every type of panel will be here. Boss will jump to panel and cast an above Waltz.
