Titan EX Row bomb + 5 ways landslide

[Invoky]

Final phase toward the end between add and super bomb. Titan will do either 3 columns or 3 rows + 5 ways landslides. How do I avoid it while being the MT at that time?

I have only been able to beat Titan when I get the luck one that Titan point at south. But for this week's attempt, he keeps doing random direction either point at NW, W, E, or some unpredictable direction. Which by the time run to his "back" spot he already did the landslide and I got knock off even tho I barely out of the AOE line. Not mention I am always eating at least 1 bomb because there isn't much room to run.

Is there anyway to completely dodge that landslide/bomb combo without using any cooldown such as ironwill/hollowedground?

I suggest you just eat 1 of the bombs, don't do too much damage or use "Tempered Will" which prevents knockback (ie Landslide)

Keep in mind the safe spot is always directly behind Titan. If you see where most of your party is going, (obviously where the last row bomb drops) you'll know a last resort spot if the obvious corner one he usually leaves isn't there. Bombs really aren't bad to heal through, just blow a CD since your friendly MB is going to come anyways.

When I do Titan EX I eat all the bombs. Before post heart, I only need to use stoneskin on myself and barely take any damage. Post heart, I use stoneskin and coodowns for the bomb and mountain busters.

You can dodge the bombs... It is really easy, though they don't hurt much. (2k ish) Still worth your time to practice dodging them. Move to the last spawned row, When Landslide lands wait half a second then move to the middle first row.

Pretty much what everyone else has said.
Save Tempered Will for the 5 way Landslide + Bomb combo. When the bombs drop, cast Tempered and Stoneskin, it should go off after the autoattack. Then just avoid the landslide as best you can, while making sure you only eat 1 bomb. Once you are in position, pop Rampart if its available just in case.

This way, you cannot be knocked off by Landslide, though it will still do ~3k damage. A single bomb will do 2k damage. Standing between 2 bombs will do 4k damage...
Best case scenario, you magically manage to dodge Landslide, AND both bombs.
More likely scenario, you dodge Landslide and eat 1 bomb for ~1.3-1.4k damage due to Stoneskin.
Lil worse scenario, you dont dodge Landslide, but dodge both bombs, 2.3-2.4k damage.
Kinda bad scenario, dodge landslide by standing between 2 bombs, 3.4k damage.
Bad scenario, eat landslide and a bomb, ~4.4k damage.
And frankly if you are being dumb, you stand between 2 bombs in a landslide and take ~6.4k damage, then die to the next autoattack.

TLDR: Tempered + Stoneskin + maybe Rampart and go stand on/inside a bomb, away from landslide.
If both nearby bombs are being covered by landslide, then stand inbetween 2 bombs to dodge the lanslide, 2x2k > 3k+2k

PS. If at all possible, DONT use Hallowed for this set. Shortly after this will be Superbombs, then adds again. Although typically you would swap after the post-Superbomb jump, the add phase will likely be more hectic and more demanding on healers than the bomb phases, so being able to HG during adds is more valuable than using HG to survive the row/col+landslide set.

Depending on how the lines bomb up we try to bait the landslide one way or another. I don't know how this affects the tank though.

Lines up vertically: bait to middle then run to right side bombs
Lines up horizontally: run to back left side then run to the middle after the middle row explodes

I've heard the tank say he's going to eat a bomb in certain situations but I don't know exactly which one it is. Just as long as healers have a heads up they should be able to cover the damage.

[Squa]

you are going to have to face at least 2 of them, and tempered will will only be able to help you on one max. So I wouldn't rely on TW, I would just anticipate the landslide, and then move to safe spot asap. Its only bad if it catches you off guard with an unexpected pattern.

A B C
D E F
G H I

Assume you are tanking at B. For every set of row bombs, we will call the third line of bombs spawned the "safe row." There are four possible safe rows. If the safe row is ADG, CFI, or GHI, then the raid just needs to stack at H to bait the landslide, then when the landslide comes, move to either G or I, whichever is in the safe row. If both are in the safe row (you got GHI) then they should move to the side WITHOUT the add slime. When the first line of bombs explodes, move towards it. Doing this makes B safe from landslides. You'll have to eat a bomb, but your healers should be able to handle it.

If you get ABC as a safe row, it's a little trickier. The raid can move to either D or F, whichever isn't covered in add slime, and bait the landslide there, and then move to the safe row when the landslide appears. Then once DEF explodes, move back to there. This does mean the tank needs to move to dodge a landslide though; directly behind Titan for the landslides is a good bet. Just be careful not to eat two bombs. An alternate strategy is to handle it just like the other three and have the raid stack at H, but instead of running into the middle after dodging a landslide, have them stay in the back row, stacked up, and heal through a bomb. I've done this before, though it's not my PERSONAL favorite as a healer.
