    So far the Copied Factory has taught me that my UI isn't optimal.

    Things I need to change:
    Turn off or limit spell effects for non-party members. My main has settings right but it's literally impossible to see some effects on my alt through all the raid's spells.
    Move target's cast bar. Need to figure out how to do this because reading the incoming abilities is so important here.

    My least favorite mechanic is the slams on the second to last boss. I can't read them, I have to just follow the raid and I don't know if it's just because they've memorized the pattern or if there's a tell that lets you know which move is next. If it's a static pattern and just memory, then there should be a telegraph on the ground indicating it. If there's a tell I think it should be more pronounced.

    Overall, I like the bullet hell mechanics (but I play Aiming), and I like that the raid doesn't have too much trash.

    the 4 marx smashes are as follows
    - lean back to its left then glows eyes to indicate hitting right side of platform
    - Reverse of the above leans to its right hitting left side of platform
    - Both hands in air moves forward, hitting rear of platform followed by sides so stand close and mid
    - both hands look like give hug means hitting front of platform then center so stand away and at sides

    Thanks. The first two are pretty obvious, as are the follow-up parts of the last two.
    It's figuring out if I need to run forward or back for the big swings that was the issue but this should help a lot.

    The vending machine transports
    at least in Automata aren't real vending machines, they're just disguises for transport points. Though the disguises don't seem to work well because they're frequently attacked by machine lifeforms in Automata.
