Question Regarding Garuda Extreme Wicked Wheel

Hello,

First let me say that I have poked around the forums about this. I am looking to see if people can give me a little more advice.

So far I've been doing Garuda extreme and can't seem to get through the wicked wheel part when the tornados go up. I understand that Surpana's happens after friction and I can dodge that one. However, I can never tell when Garuda will do her aoe and it always seems to one shot me (other than the one after she disappears). I saw on forums that you just have to predict it. Is there any other advice to this or will practice make perfect?

She does it exactly when Suparna does hers. If you see Suparna cast friction, get ready to pop another cooldown.

Garuda only seems to do a second one if Suparna is still alive to cast friction. If you kill Suparna after Friction, Garuda will still Wicked Wheel by herself. In most groups I've been, the DPS has been good enough so that we don't have to deal with a second Wicked Wheel.

Assuming you've used Defiance for the first Wicked Wheel, try simply putting up Thrill of Battle, keeping Storm's Path on Garuda, and Inner Beast shortly after Suparna is done casting Friction.

I don't fully understand when it's supposed to happen, but I noticed for most of the runs, when I see both SUPARNA and Garuda fly up, I hit thrill of battle and vengeance. I'll definitely survive the double wicked wheel without a doubt.

The first double wicked wheels happen about 1-15 seconds after Suparna casts Friction, could be right before or after they teleport up.

After that, the double wicked wheels happen 1-15 seconds after Garuda summons the 5 cyclones, also could be right before or after they teleport up.

You should have cooldowns up for all of the double wheels since it's roughly 180 seconds between add phases. Once Chirada dies, Suparna stops doing wicked wheels.

Edit: Also, it's *possible* to dodge Suparna's Wicked Wheels because she seems to be programmed to use it whenever Garuda does (if Chirada is still alive), regardless or where she is or what she's doing. I've seen her starting to cast Friction during the last phase and getting her spell cast cancelled into a Wicked Wheel cast.
