Turn 5 Coil: Need Advice

[ispano]

Yes, the elevation change is what causes her to face outside, rather than inside, making it easier to dodge. When she is facing outside, you literally only need to walk a few steps forward before moving back. It's really, really easy unless you're lagging. If someone is too far up and gets the mark, everyone is likely to get hit because her full path will now be in your safe area. (You can tell by the trail she leaves behind as she dives.)

No, I meant the elevation difference is why it doesn't even hit you. Dives are wider than that tiny spot, no matter which direction she comes from, it's the elevation difference that makes it easier to dodge. There's a few other fights in game where you can "exploit" this. Such as the first boss in Qarn.

Great info here as some of us in our fc are about to start T5. PS4 is actually much better the 3 was so if at all issues may just be server lag and such

I know that this is a silly question considering most of you guys are probably on turn 9 or way past turn 5. I waited a long time to finally start doing coil runs and I finally made it to turn 5. The party that I am in we have completed turn 1-4 without the buff. We are trying to do turn 5 without the buff. Any advice on how to get pass the dive-bomb phase. We have watched youtube videos but to no avail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance. Please no negative comments.

Without the buff! Bravo! There's some good advice on the divebombs here already. I just want to wish you luck in tackling this content the way it was meant to be played

If anyone in your group is having trouble seeing the icon or hearing the sound effect, try putting Twintania on focus target. I'm not sure how to do it on PS4, but I know it's possible. When Twin flies up at the start of phase 3, the focus target will vanish, but when she comes back down for Divebomb, the focus target will reappear (and immediately show Divebomb's cast bar). Use the reappearance of the focus target UI to gauge when to move. This is extremely helpful for me personally on the second set of Divebombs once the snakes are in our faces.

It helps to have Twin focus targeted for Twisters anyway, which will happen in the next phase. Best of luck!

This is the best advice. Makes knowing when to move for divebombs super easy.

I don't know what method you are using since some of the old YouTube videos use different tactics than what is most commonly employed now. But the easiest way to dodge is to have everyone stack tightly in the pit and run up when she dives. A common mistake I see groups do is they don't position twin close enough to the pit so they have trouble getting everyone into position quickly enough for divebombs. My group pulls twin North of the pit for the first link then moves her a few yalms south so the second link drops just south of the pit. As mentioned, everyone has to be stacked super tight. If anyone is standing above the group by a hair they will wipe the raid if twin targets them. And she seems to always do so. If everyone is stacking divebombs become super easy to avoid.

Haven't seen it mentioned yet so I'll throw this out there. Use focus target on Twin as well. It disappears while she not on the battlefield, but will return for divebombs. This helped me better identify timing when snakes are out.
