Red Spark Ignis

The coolant console on the side route removes environmental falling circles. Using it is a useful first-clear choice.

Tell / phaseYour responseWhy it matters
Personal mark after about 75%Drop the lasting lava pool along the edge.Pools remain for the rest of the fight.
Blazing Speed after about 65%Resolve the donut close to the boss, then spread for the successive jumps.Stacking multiplies the landing damage.
Repeated small circlesKeep moving until the final circle resolves.Stopping after one dodge catches the follow-up.

Black Smoke Murute

A second optional coolant console reduces background hazards. Clear the room and keep the tank lane readable.

Tell / phaseYour responseWhy it matters
Raised arm / ground slamLeave the impact, then avoid the personal circles that follow.The follow-up timing is later than the ground indicator may suggest.
Expanding stomps below about 50%Respect all three sizes; do not step back in after only the first.Successive blasts grow outward.
Dash toward tankSidestep the line and the boulder thrown after the turn.The dash is not the end of the attack.

Kromede

Activate the checkpoint before opening the final door. The wall phase is a navigation test: turn the camera to read the next gap before moving.

Tell / phaseYour responseWhy it matters
Fire walls around 75% / 25%Look through the wall for a real opening and move through the gap.Some apparent openings are blocked by another wall behind them.
Hard 25%: party teleported to entranceCross the arena through the gaps and reach the light safe circle before Blazing Judgment ends. The source shows about 14 seconds.This is a timed survival check, not a damage phase.
Clones after about 50%Avoid the first line and reposition for the clone appearing behind you with a cone.Standing still after the line exposes you to the second attack.
Bow up / personal circles / furthest-player jumpSpread, keep the far target away from teammates and wait out the repeated landings.The jump has several hits and can stun.
Normal cleavesUse the rear for basic attacks but leave for personal markers.The rear is a default position, not immunity to targeted attacks.

Difficulty changes & encounter details

Hard has edge clones during the first wall phase and the timed crossing at the second. FRESHY’s 13 September overview independently reinforces reading wall gaps and avoiding the clone follow-up; the detailed source supplies the Normal/Hard distinction.

Tank, healer & DPS assignments

Strategy recommendation

Suggested preparation for this encounter. These assignments are editorial recommendations based on the mechanics above.

RoleAssignment
TankKeep frontal attacks pointed away from the party and avoid dragging bosses into lava.
Healer / supportHave recovery ready after wall mistakes; keep moving through the maze.
DPSSave movement for walls and stop long casts before a forced run.

After a wipe: fix the cause

Strategy recommendation

Name the failed mechanic before the next pull. Check whether the target moved too early, the group missed its assignment, or a required cooldown was unavailable. Reassign a backup for any job that can target its original owner. Surviving the mechanic comes before completing a damage rotation.

  • Call the next mechanic before the HP threshold; the actual cast may occur later.
  • If a hit-count object is involved, use fast direct hits rather than assuming a long damage cooldown is better.
  • Save burst for a real vulnerability window after the group has completed its movement.
  • Check the current entry panel for loot probabilities and reward availability before spending another run.
