LOA Masterclass - Kayangel Raid Advanced Tips & Tricks

hello everybody I wanted to make a little video about uh candle newest raid that just came out in the western version at the time of this upload um this fight feature is for boss fights and some of them are a bit tricky to learn how their patterns actually work so I wanted to offer some sagely advice on how to min max your damage and some of these more Awkward battles uh with some advice that actually a lot of people even in Korea don't know including discoveries that were made by me and some of my friends um so we're going to start actually at gate two because gate one doesn't really have anything in particular at the beginning of the fight he always actually starts with the same pattern every single time so he's always going to do um some sort of motion where it's just going to be forward forward and then quick Dash forward without fail that will always occur so you can always get like a guaranteed hit right from the very beginning okay so when you see Tien brandish his sword at the very beginning of this motion he's going to aggress onto a Target the moment it's a little bit difficult to tell who he's aggregate on but I kind of figure it's me because uh well actually I just didn't see where the other player was so I just assumed it was me so what I did is I went for a back attack and if you've ever um watched clown you know uh the advice on how the pigeons mechanic Works actually it works the same way here so at the beginning of the pattern he aggressed onto me and I moved up here to get a back attack now he's going to draw a straight line from the center of his hitbox to the center of my hitbox and then a set distance on the opposite side of that he will teleport and so after I go for the back attack you're going to see I'm going to displace forward with LTS and here you're going to see me ping up here because I know he's going to appear up here so the moment he disappears I'm going to start moving up here and move to the side so I avoid this attack after so at the beginning of this pattern he's untargetable and he throws his sword down to this bottom area uh the thing is the actual motion of throwing the Sword Down is an attack so if you're standing here you're going to take damage the weird thing about this pattern though is that the actual damage and the knockdown are disjointed from the animation and this is basically never been fixed because no one in their right mind stands there but if you stand in this spot you're going to notice that before he even throws his sword you take damage and get knocked down and then the animation happens afterwards because of the disjoint so what this means is as soon as you see him throw his sword and it's down there this part right here doesn't do damage the damage already happened like two seconds ago meaning the moment he throws his sword down it safe to maneuver down here now the moment he comes down his animation um I'm sorry his hitbox is not actually available yet so if you try and launch an attack at him here it won't actually hit him uh the moment you see his head attack and back attack um markers appear he's vulnerable uh this area down here becomes a death zone and you can see the expanding lines the expanding vertical lines in the left and the right when they reach the edge it becomes a death zone that has very high damage so as long as you do your damage and move out before it reaches that point uh you'll be safe so with Striker this is probably the most stylish one or one of the most stylish ones where you can actually move behind him here charge an LTS at an angle with a left side of your LTS or right side if you're going from this side will hit him in his back attack position while you exit that's a cool extra 110 million damage there that otherwise you know people are just standing up here waiting for the pattern to start which is a little boring an unrelated note and it's more troll than it is real advice if you stealth robe and you're the target of the spear and you use the stealth robe right before he throws it it'll actually adjust his Target on the fly to a different player and it'll usually not be prepared for that so that's uh troll advice not real advice don't actually do it or if you're gonna do it just do it to your friend you might not be friends afterwards though this attack is pretty cool this kind of flipping attack that he does uh if he does decide to do the second part of it where he flips the other side again standing right in front of him will actually make you uh you won't get hit by anything because he'll jump over you kind of like that and so you can kind of expect it if he does the follow-up afterwards whenever he does a red stabbing sword it's gonna be slash slash stab if it's red I would strongly recommend that a tankier player or a support gets stabbed by it because he does a follow-up attack afterwards that keeps him still for a pretty long time and it's a great damage window if you have a tanky player get stabbed by each of these every single time it creates a lot of great damage windows for the dps's just don't mistake it with a white stab that has no red because the white stab does not stab the player it launches them and when the edges of the map have been broken it will launch them right off the edge and to their death Bruno's gravity lift attack I will only lift you in the air if you're standing in it the moment the telegraph is finished as you can see I can actually just walk into it without any repercussion and then I get out before the slam afterwards because if you're standing in it during the slam down it'll just knock you down on the ground and interrupt your skill usage so you can move in it and greet a little bit and move out whenever priona teleports in Gate 3 she only has two types of teleports she'll either teleport to the center facing downwards or she'll do a different teleport which I'll cover in just a moment if she's doing the teleport facing downwards you can always position yourself above her to get a guaranteed back attack in advance so whenever she teleports if you don't think it's going to be the other teleport you should position yourself up here and get an extra attack in whenever she teleports here and people attack her from the back there's a chance that she does a special follow-up attack where she backsteps upwards and shoots a cone downwards but the back attack position is still in the 12 o'clock if she does this so if you're back attacking always be prepared for her to do that back step and if she does then you get an even bigger damage window priona has a special thing about her where even though her stagger bar is locked the entire fight stagger does affect her she's one of the few enemies in the game that have a special stagger trigger when you fill an invisible threshold when dealing enough stagger she will immediately interrupt whatever she's doing and then teleport to a random area and immediately do a circle donut where inside is safe this occurs when you do enough stagger which means that parties that have heavy stagger in their comp such as ones with gun lancers and destroyers we'll actually see this interruptive pattern more often which is great because it's a pretty good damage window but do note that immediately after it and she will track a player to do a pretty moderately damaging attack right in front of her so please be aware that if you're going for the back attack that she might turn to face somebody which can screw up your back attack the other enemy in the game that does this is kalilagos when kalilagos takes too much stagger instead of getting knocked down on the ground he does the Thunderdome where you don't attack him or else he retaliates during this mechanic I always recommend that you grab the ore from a little bit further away because if you're too close to her hitbox it's possible to get hit by two orbs at once which will instantly kill you I would also be very mindful of any cleanses whether that be from a support or from a Purify Rune which is especially the case after a con comes out if you left a Purify Rune on one of your skills and you didn't realize it if you're having trouble aiming the laser during gate 4 I would recommend you hit alt X to hide the bottom HUD this is especially the case if you're the fourth laser that has to aim it at L'Oreal is often times you'll be put in a position where L'Oreal is in your six o'clock and he can be obscured by your HUD and so pressing alt X to hide your HUD can help to make sure that you don't miss that laser down where it's off screen whenever he does this Forward Motion where he kind of flies forward and then shoots a laser there's two lasers that he can draw with this so you're gonna see a straight line forward that means it's going to make an asterisk shape or a star meaning directly behind him is dangerous and so we should go slightly off kilter to the left or right in order to avoid that he can also make a diamond shape and if he does make the diamond shape that will do a donut safe around him instead so paying attention to that is a good way of knowing how to preposition yourself in advance to get an extra attack off during this Mac you can also DPS I like to pop a sprinting rope here to make sure that I move faster than these circular things just make sure not to get caught by it if anybody gets hit by that pull afterwards he'll do A Yank in afterwards if nobody gets hit by the cone then there's no follow-up attack this mechanic is probably the one that gets people the most uh these Shadows are the same as the one that you experience the 100 line mechanic but at the same time the boss is doing the mirror Mac where he targets one player and then does a cone-shaped pull on them uh this will yank everybody and in some cases it does a super yank which will drag them much further than usual these Shadows are the same shape um and each clock position has its own so there's one at nine o'clock 11 12 1 3 5 6 and 7. the shapes are always the same in each of the positions and some of them are easier than others this one's the easiest because you can actually just run against the left side of the wall here and you'll always be safe even if he super pulls you as it will not be able to drag you out of the Shadow altogether the six o'clock shadow is the most dangerous one as the actual area that you have is very narrow and easy to get pulled out of there is a trick that was discovered by me and Lost Boy and by lust boy uh by me unless why I actually just mean lost boy he's the one who figured out the timing for this and we never posted it on the Korean aurums uh but basically when you're being pulled by the mirror you're gonna see a purple text on your character like this if you use any form of displacement skill as soon as this purple text goes away it will override the pull altogether so a displacement skill is anything that moves you or gives you control over your movement while using it uh skills that are animation locked are not good for this because he will actually pull you while your animation locked even if you're not supposed to be moved even an artillerist in their Siege form will get dragged even though they're not supposed to be movable uh channeling your Awakening like berserker's Fury will also result you in getting dragged so your skill has to displace you for example the bullet rain skill by um Gunslingers or enforce execution by dead eyes uh or really just your space bar the spacebar works for basically everybody here if you use it just as that purple text is going away it will not drag you even a little bit you will not be so much as much so just wait for the purple text go away space bar in and boom not a single nudge so it's just a way to stupid proof never ever being dragged ever you can DPS during this pattern I mean he's gonna die here basically instantly but all you need to know is that the red uh telegraphs after the first one these red Donuts do not knock you down these yellow circles do knock you down if they explode on you so you can paralysis super armor uh through these donuts and the yellow circles are generated on every other donut lastly if you do know that you're the aggressed target um so you can actually see that uh the target for this mechanic is actually the striker the way that I could tell is right before he decided to leave his character or his model turned to face the strikers so see the mechanic is about to start see his head attack position swivels over and Targets on the striker remember what I mentioned that this Mech is actually just to mechs overlapped on top of each other and so uh it is the same Shadow as the 100 lines of the person who has the mirror aggregate on them faces the mirror away from the shadow position the other three players will not actually get dragged at all since they're out of the AOE now of course if you try and face the cone away from the shadow position and that would mean that you would incinerate to death in the sunlight however that's what time stops are for and for people that just want to make sure they get the clear and they're not worried about pumping with atrophone well if you're bringing a time stop and you happen to be the aggro target you can selflessly move the aggro of the cone away from your teammate so they don't have to deal with the pull at all and they can just safely stand in the shadow but if your teammates do not know that you are doing that they might space bar or displace themselves in such a way where they jump out into the sunlight and burn themselves so sometimes doing that can actually cause your teammates to accidentally kill themselves um so especially if you're in voice comms you should be mindful of letting them know that you're facing the shadow away that's about all I have for advanced tips and tricks for you for this encounter I hope some of this information was useful to you
