Tips

1. Amplifier Management

Assign clear roles for who needs to click on the amplifiers. It’s important that anyone interacting with them is prepared to take periodic damage and knows when to stop channeling to avoid being overwhelmed.

Reduce the amplifiers’ energy before they reach 100% to prevent being overrun. Quickly communicate who is responsible for each amplifier.

2. Wave Mechanics

During the resonant echoes Discesa Assordante, assign a safe zone for the group to gather or establish a clear direction to dodge the waves.

Mechanics

Faulty Zap

Blaring Drop

https://www.wowhead.com/en/spell=467991 - A massive ring originates at Rik's location, dealing lethal damage to anyone hit. At the same time, an amp is marked with a blue circle. It explodes shortly after, dealing damage and knocking nearby players into the air. Run to the marked amp and use the knock up to avoid the ring.

Use knock up to avoid the ring.

Resonant Echoes

https://www.wowhead.com/en/spell=468119 - Amps sometimes pulse soundwaves. Getting hit debuffs you with a DoT for 6s. Periodically, Rik uses Echoing Chant, causing all amps to create soundwaves for a short time.

Focus the adds.

Amplification

Click an amp to channel into it, draining its energy. The channeling player takes ticking damage.
