Pastebin Strats

The boss gains a stacking buff and heals for 1% everytime a player gets 4 stacks. Avoid this as much as possible

These strats are compiled from the pastebin linked below. I've updated these as up 8/11/2024 and don't plan on changing them unless I see a drastic shift in PF. If you have input, let me know in the discord!

General Advice and Tips

  • Alarm 1 doesn't have a set strategy in place yet but PF commonly does Mario Kart (rotating around the edge of the arena). Be ready to break away from the party to dodge an AOE at any time
    • Knockback immunity can save your life if you're about to get hit
  • Beat 2 Tanks and Healers take the North or West Tower while DPS take the East or South Tower in most strats. If you have a spread AOE, MOVE AWAY (likely far south if the stack group rotated north) so that you don't block people from getting to their towers
  • For Alarm 2: After the first set of bees spawn, the second bee that spawns determines direction of puddle safe spots. If a bee spawns to the right of the first bee, the remaining puddles should be dropped CW. If a bee spawns to the left, drop puddles CCW.
  • Right after the Alarm 2 stacks resolve, you should be able to get a melee LB3 out with enough time to move before the next venom mechanic happens. This can set you up for a melee LB2 during Rotten Heart.
    • Just position south of the boss to avoid being hit by the tankbuster
  • Clarify what strategy the party is using for Beat 3 Defamations since many people get these confused even if they mention a strat name
  • For Rotten Heart debuffs, touch the matching partner around ~6 seconds
