One shot mechanics in Normal Raids

[WK74648]

There's precedence for one-shot mechanics in normal. Off the top of my head, Exdeath, Kefka, and Omega M/F could blow you off the map to certain doom. Titan's trial can have you fall off the edge and not be able to be raised so if anything, things have gotten better. Once more people realize how the mechanic works, it will be easier. We're only in the first week and it's new. If all content including normal raid could be face-rolled immediately with no consequence, the game wouldn't be very fun or engaging.

I think i'm having problem is the level of complexity with the mechanic that is also a one shot. Kefka, all you had to do was not be near an edge. simple enough. Where this is changing colors which is random and checking to see which color is coming out of what portal and making sure you are switching to the right color when the portal beam comes out. All in a matter of seconds. Maybe i'm overthinking it.

Currently in my 2nd group for today and we just initiated vote abandon.

Seems complex but you can figure it out as the first dive is charging. First, line up with the first vertical dive of the opposite color of the debuff you have. Next, look at the column with the other vertical color dive you aren't standing in and pan your camera to see which color portal it is going to go into. Then look across to the east or west and move down to that color while still in the same column for the first dive to the correct horizontal color portal. Finally, dodge the final vertical color dive. Check your debuff again if you are confused.

Whenever you get hit it swaps you to the opposite color, which means to dodge the horizontal dive coming out of the side you have to get hit by the same color you initially started off with so you just have to figure out which portal that will be.

It's a bit mind gamey but they seem to be adding more of that stuff recently. There are probably easier ways to deal with it but that's what worked for me.
