Alexander: Midas A6-A7

The Cuff of the Son (A6)

4 bosses in a row. No trash mobs found.

1st robot
Tank & spank fight. Dodge aoe, kill boss.

2nd robot
This one is a tank fight. Apply stacking debuff on tanks (switch at 2-3 stacks). During fight boss will transform his arms into one of 3 stances.
Arms stances:
Two canons - raid should split damage.
One canon - Active tank should face boss away from group and use def. CD.
Drill - 1 random person (except tanks) will get hit for a hight amount of damage.

3rd robot.
In this fight floor is divided into squares, square can became high or low ground. Players will get debufs. If you have high ground debuff go to low ground square. If you have low ground debuff go to high ground square.
Also there is yellow circle thing, it apply vulnerability debuff. We shared it, maybe we shouldn't.

4rd robot.
- Apply stacking debuff to tanks (swap at 2-3).
- Use fire aoe that leave fire spots on the ground (like in Titan EX after adds death), u can dodge it.
- Push back AoE (try not to get into fire spots).
- Ice marks (like in Shiva hard), this marks should be used to freeze Tornado, if you don't do it you will wipe.
- Ultima flash AoE - use frozen Tronado to hide.

The Arm of the Son (A7)
Kittens, Hearts and Indiana Jones!!!

Boss have many abilities.
- Boss will put purple mark on one player and shoot him with wide beam. All player in beam will get damage and bleed debuff.
- Boss will put Black-red circle mark on one player and will take him (end everybody nearby) into custody, each of 4 jails is different :
1st - player should stand still, group have to kill the lock device;
2nd - player have to kill add asap;
3nd - tank (it's always OT jail) have to kill add asap, tank DPS check;
4nd - not sue but i think it's healer's cage. Not remember what you have to do there.
If more than 1 player gets to jail it's a wipe most likely.

Also boss will sometimes apply stacking deebuff to tanks (6 stack in a row within 10-12 seconds) it's recommended to swap at 3-4 stack. However one tank can survive all 6 of them if 2-3 CD is used same time.

After 2nd jail Cat will come and all spikes on the floor will be removed (for a time). She will try to be near boss and cast big Heart (2 hearts each Cat-phase). This heart should be killed ASAP (heavy, stuns are welcome) and boss have to be moved away from both Cat and Heart.

-Also on Cat phase giant boulders will appear and start moving randomly around the room. Players have to dodge them.

-Around 40% of boss HP 4 bombs will spawn fixed on 4 players (one is always on OT) they have to be draged to 4 different corners.

Now how the fight will looks like (in general, real fight will be slightly different :3)
You start in the middle of the room.
[1]tank boss at the edge of middle circle. Then one purple ray shoots and one player goes to jail.
[2]Adds spawn, raid kill adds and deals with prison.
[3] Then Cat coming in. Kite boss, dodge Boulders, kill hearts.
[4] go to [1]

If you have the DPS than it's only 1 heart per phase.

The healer jail is poison gas

Thanks for posting this. I was able to use the A7 strat to get the DF group I joined last night through it.

There was a Freeze mechanic in the 3rd tank jail some of the time. Was something supposed to be stunned?

The add in that jail occasionally does a knockback. I'm not 100% sure as I've only been frozen once, but I believe touching the walls of the cage will freeze you.

I really wish people would go on the forums and see this thread. I've had bad luck with DF groups who just don't get it and vote abandon after 2 wipes. Did they expect it to be incredibly easy?
