After crossing the green line, the fight starts. After about one second, Ai dashes to a randomly chosen side and casts a set of line attacks. During this time, a CC bar appears which should not be broken (you can CC Ai in the middle, you get no orange AoEs, means more DPS for not spreading out due to the circle mechanic)。 After the line attacks, she will dash to the middle and target each player with an orange AoE, forcing the group to split up to minimize damage taken (only if you break Ai’s first CC bar, or don’t break Ai’s 2nd CC bar in the middle)。 When the circles disappear, group up (avoiding any subsequent lines or explosions) and start bursting. If you have not broken the 1st CC bar, a second will appear, as Ai starts casting a series of cone attacks.

Breaking the bar at the last second is key for maximum DPS. To do this, you need to remember the pattern of upcoming attacks when the CC bar is active. That pattern is 2 cones, multihit circles (that must be dodged), another cone and finally, a red AoE that deals massive damage and forces the group to split. Break the bar when the red circle appears and stay in the middle, upkeeping DPS.

If you do not manage to bring her to 66%, she will dash twice and get , summoning a tornado, like the Voice of the Mountain. Approach this phase as you did before, only this time, you must disperse 8 clouds quickly, or Ai will cast a massive AoE that wipes the group. Keep in mind that a set of 3 orbs spawn in each cardinal direction. Split up accordingly and move in the same direction to interrupt this attack as quickly as possible.

After bringing the boss down to 66%, she gets and spawns meteor impact AoEs. Outrun them like a turtle. After the third set of impacts the boss reappears. Be aware, there is a fourth set of 4 meteor impacts in a square formation around the boss. Dodge them! Two players are also targeted by meteor AoEs that fall shortly after the final 4. They should be placed outside of the stack (in a non-static team), or just ignore them by dodging at the right time (in a coordinated team)。

After all, meteors have fallen, an AoE around the boss starts to expand, launching a powerful attack that downs/strips mistlock from anyone caught in the blast. Seek shelter behind a rock (this is the same pattern as in the Fury of the Mountain encounter)。 Be aware, there will only be one rock in Challenge Mode. The ‘‘fake’’ rocks are ones that glow red before crumbling. The safe rock is always the southwest one on the minimap.

After the meteor attack, the pattern from the Air Phase repeats. If you do not manage to bring her to 33% in the middle, she will dash twice and instead of the tornado attack, she will summon additional meteors.

After bringing the boss down to 33%, she gets and pushes the group to the edge. After a short while, dark orbs appear on set intervals that tether to players. The player closest to the orb gets tethered and receives the debuff 。You can take over the by standing in-between the tethered person and the orb. Players are also targeted by green AoEs, stay stacked to share the damage taken.

After the 4th orb disappears, the boss dashes to the side and repeats the same pattern as before, only this time she starts casting a more powerful version of the previous line attacks, summoning water tornados that deal heavy damage. Be very careful and avoid them.

If you do not manage to bring her to 1% in the middle, she will dash twice and instead of the meteor attack, she will cast a water tornado, reflecting all projectiles and pulling players in. Standing in this tornado deals damage and applies agony every second. She also casts line attacks that deal damage but can be avoided by standing out of the way. Keep in mind that she is still vulnerable, but she takes reduced damage. Previous mechanics like the orbs and green AoEs are present during this attack.

After recovering from being tethered by her Doubt the boss will initially dash in a random direction into the wall and start her attack pattern. Be careful to not stand in her dash path or to simply dodge through it as it deals heavy damage. Upon hitting the wall lasers will start to spawn in a set attack pattern that will be consistent throughout the fight this is also when the first breakbar appears which lasts 7 seconds. The hitboxes of the lasers are quite thin and it is, therefore, possible to stand in-between two lasers and not get hit.

After 5 waves of lasers, Ai will dash again in a random direction towards a wall. This is when the first split-phase will occur, a bunch of heavy ticking damage AoE’s will spawn around the boss as well as very large expanding circles around each player. Make sure to spread out to avoid heavy damage. She will then do a series of basic attacks before finally doing another split phase with a slightly different AoE pattern on the floor (this is the same basic attack pattern as the one in all previous phases, mentioned in the air phase)。

At the same time a Sorrow will spawn, this mob will spawn at a random position inside the middle ring of AoE’s a few seconds after the boss begins channeling. You can tell where the Sorrow will spawn a few seconds before it actually does thanks to a small area of the arena lighting up at its eventual spawn location. The Sorrow will start channeling a devastating attack that will instantly down the whole party if it completes channeling. To prevent this the Sorrow must be killed or its breakbar must be broken.

Ranged CC such as 或 is preferable as you get to stay inside the safe zone near the boss.
