If this attack hits it will knock you back, so avoid being hit into the danger area at the edge of the arena.

This attack hits the whole group for moderate damage - shield and heal as necessary.

Monkey Magicks & Second Heaven
Combo

Monkey Magicks

Healer Raid Wide Damage

This attack hits the group for raid wide damage based on how full the boss' Duty Gauge is.

Splitting Hairs
Everyone Mechanic Spawn

Important Notes:

The boss will clone himself causing all mechanics to hit twice at any given moment.
During Both Ends, be wary that all players are within melee range of the boss that has the glowing staff
Killing one clone before the other will result in the remaining clone summoning a new clone - kill both clones together.

The Long End
Everyone AoE - Circular AoE - Column Tether

Important Notes:

This attack will tether 1 player to each boss and drop circular AoEs on the group.
Each tethered player should face their own boss away from the other to avoid overlapping the column AoE that follows.

Five-fingered Punishment
Everyone Stack

Important Notes:

This attack will place a stack marker on a single player - stack up to soak damage, but be sure to avoid being hit by other mechanics.
