Susano

Phase 1 Alerts

  • Players might feel overwhelmed during Brightstorm - take these mechanics one step at a time and it will get easier to deal with.

Rasen Kaikyo
Everyone Puddle AoE

Important Notes:
  • All players will be targeted by this attack and drop a puddle where they stand - run out of these as soon as possible to avoid high damage and lightning resist debuffs.

Brightstorm
Everyone Marker Knockback Stack Area AoE

Important Notes:
  • A player will be marked with an orange marker and be knocked back across the arena - they will then be immediately targeted with a stack marker and should back up to the group to help soak damage.
  • Audio Cue: The seas part for we alone!
  • This audio cue is followed by an arena-wide AoE that has a single, thin column safe zone - this area will be determined by the direction the player knocked back by Brightstorm has traveled.
  • Stand in the safe zone to avoid being knocked into the air and a lightning resist debuff.

Dark Cloud
Column AoE Everyone

Important Notes:
  • Clouds will spawn around the edge of the arena and target a single player with multiple column AoEs - this player can bait these columns away from the rest of the group.

Phase 2 Alerts

  • A tank must claim the white marker during this phase to shield the group - they will have to mash a button to keep the raid alive.
  • While the off-tank deals with the Shock Orbs, all other players should focus on DPSing the large blades to avoid wiping during Susano's ultimate.

  • Susano's ultimate will wipe the raid if the group has not DPS'd down both blades during the previous mechanic.
  • This attack will place a red column AoE through the middle of the arena - avoid this.

Phase 3 Alerts

  • During Earth and Stone it is helpful to mark the stone prison that contains your trapped teammate to ensure everyone breaks them out quickly.
Earth and Stone & The Sealed Gate
