This Guardian guide assumesyou know the basics of a Guardian Raid. Take a look at the General Guardian Raid Guide to learn more.

Raid Mechanics

Raid mechanics cover the passive mechanics that are persistent through the entire raid.

Electrocute Combo

Chaos Brand

Just Guard

Most of the laser attacks electrocute on hit. When a player gets electrocuted, Argeos usually follows up with a Jump attack.

Make sure to use cleansing skills or Sacred Charm on the crowd-controlled (CCed) player before the boss lands the jump attack on them.

Some attacks debuff the players on hit with a chaos brand, which lasts for a minute. Each stack of this debuff increases incoming damage by 20%, and it can stack up to 10 times.

This debuff cannot be cleansed. So make sure to not accumulate too many stacks.

Just Guard is a new pattern type introduced with this Guardian Raid. As an indication for this pattern, the boss glows golden. Make sure to use this fight to master it, since it will be very useful in the upcoming raids.

To succeed Just Guard, you need to face (point cursor towards) the guardian and use the “G” key at the right moment. You don't have to stand in front of the boss.

Guard Annihilation

Guard Counter

Guard Dash

This pattern occurs twice per raid based on boss' HP.
