* Body damage is lethal so be careful
* **Enable sounds effects**:

    - **DR** " Rise my loyal knights! "
    - **PIGGIE** " You're much better like that." "


#### DR
* Animation: 
![](https://i.imgur.com/nM9v40X.gif)
* Also announced in the chat
* Stop attacking asap


#### Genesis
* Animation:
![](https://i.imgur.com/9A9hVNS.gif)
* look at ther eyes, as soon they close she'll cast genesis
* First hit brings you to 1/1 HP/MP, second hit kills you

#### Dark Orb
* Animation:(#TODO) 
* Shoots a projectile doing magic damage, usually doesn't oneshot(#TODO)
* However the projectile can be blocked so the Rusher usually eats it

#### Pig transform

* Animation:
![](https://i.imgur.com/FK9FmEh.gif)
* Only single target(so not manadatory to ACP it, just be careful If you got transformed)
* Transforms u into a ribbon pig, makes you unable to cast spells and attack
* Can be cured with ACP, Hero's Will wont work
* Try to move out of genesis range as soon you got hit

### Phases

#### Shinsoo(95%)

* HP: #TODO
* Body damage will kill squishys so be careful
* So far the aggroing seems weird so It will move around, so be careful
* **Duck** to avoid getting Body damage by Shinsoo, if you don't feel confident just wait until Shinsoo is moving away
![](https://i.imgur.com/gw56O7e.gif)
* **Shield** reduces all damage he takes to 1, so consider that your healing(Drain, etc) is also going to be reduced to this
![](https://i.imgur.com/WIPFiV7.gif)
* **Shield Break** start attacking again
![](https://i.imgur.com/UKwCx7w.gif)
* IMPORTANT: be patient and stay safe




#### Mihile - Warrior(90%)

#### Irena - Archer(80%)

* HP: 1.4t, #TODO
* Projectile: hits side she faces, follows the person who is aggrod, so just the person who was aggro needs to jump
* Projectile does some damage, if you see it not going up move out of range/or jump over it
![](https://i.imgur.com/jwkjbIb.gif)
* Can cast WA cancel, like Shinsoo which makes you deal 1s dmg, so be careful as Aran or other drainers


#### Eckhart - Thief(75%)

* HP: 1.4t, #TODO
* Projectile: hits side he faces, follows the person who is aggrod, so just the person who was aggro needs to jump
![](https://i.imgur.com/9naVoWw.gif)


#### Hawkeye - Pirate(70%)

* HP: 1.4t, #TODO
* Projectile: hits side he faces, hitbox way larger than it looks, lethal damage, so just wait for smokescreen
![](https://i.imgur.com/vG155tg.gif)


#### V2 bosses - Warrior, Mage, Archer, Thief, Pirate(50%)

* HP: 2.09t, #TODO
* Spawn:
![](https://i.imgur.com/Jst9kQ0.gif)
* As soon bosses are spawned move towards the left, let the Rusher take the aggro and pin them
* As most spells are lethal(1hit) Smokescreen is probably mandatory(???)
* Mihile can cast DR(Duration 7s, CD 60s), be extra careful about this, call out asap

## Checklist

- [ ] Prequest done(#TODO)
- [ ] +30 Wheels in inventory
- [ ] +5 Dreamkeys before entering
- [ ] 2fa check at VL, so you don't lose a dream key
- [ ] 205 SF
- [ ] Arans should enter with Combo Barrier and Drain(prebuff at honor)
- [ ] Enough Potions, Naris/Apples and ACP
- [ ] Check that your defensive skills are actually max level(Guadian,  	Shadow Shifter, High Defense etc you rely on them)
- [ ] Corsairs check your bullets
- [ ] Optional: Recovery Skill in beginner tab(any level works)
- [ ] Optional: Disable remote effect, skill effects, etc(#TODO)

## Aggro Info

* As soon as a mini boss spawns DON'T ATTACK
* One person attacks the boss and everyone waits until the Aggro is locked on this person(takes around 5 seconds)
* If Aggro is switched wait with attacking until Aggro is locked again, unless we are in smokescreen or the boss got stunned by crash


## Helpful Info

* Use Recovery(Beginner Skill tab if you're out of smoke and on Pot CD), to prevent getting hit by Genesis at 1hp
* Play safe
* Use your Pots with care(would recommend using Apples)
* When u die, don't panic, double check If u can revive without dying, check again then revive(POT cd gets reset after you die)
 * Also consider you may want to wait for an Aran to recast combo barrier on you
 * Magic damage taken is heavily reduces by Luk so ensure your VL gear has some okish luk stats with flames(Magic damage mitigation: 5000/4 + STR/28 + DEX/24 + LUK/20)

## Class specific Informations

### Warriors

* Most Warriors can tank damage thanks to Achilles, Combo Barrier, High Defense and also Guardian

#### Aran

* Final Blow is 2/3rd of your damage, so for the bosses It's sometimes worth to play ranged instead of dying, esspecially for Shinsoo
![](https://i.imgur.com/YEEC8Jw.png)
* Combo Barrier resets the combo count for ALL Arans in the same party, so communicate before you use It
* Combo Drain lasts 300s, Combo Barrier lasts 240s, IMPORTANT: ensure you recast them both around 50%-75% before they expire(the earlier the better)
    * Use mini bosses to recast all buffs, so you don't need to rebuff them on empress
    * Always consider that DR and Piggy transform makes you unable to keep your combo counter, so you need some buffer to recast them
    * ONLY buff in smokescreen or out of genesis range
* Despite some spells not actually costing mana, 1 MP from Genesis makes you unable to cast anything aside from AAs
* With DR, body pressure kills you

#### Hero

* Range: 
![](https://i.imgur.com/Nf5xFJI.png)


### Thiefs

* Dark Sight prevent body damage(great for Shinsoo) and NL can attack during stealth
* Flash Jump can be spammed, so you can easily dash out of genesis by holding down Left + FJ key


#### Shadower

* Smoke Screen usage
![](https://i.imgur.com/0xrwmJl.gif)
* Smoke in a way Arans can still get hit from empress body so they can apply BP
* If u layer Smoke(with TL) cast second smoke 1-2s before first one end, to prevent mistakes
* Inform everyone when smokes disappears(If u cast smokescreen at 59:30 simply write :30)
* Use Darksight to Smoke(you wont get hit by body damage and can cast Smoke during Stealth)
* Play as safe as possible when u have to smoke
* Ensure u have smoke up for the different stages, inform everyone If you still need some time to get smoke up
* For V2 ensure the WHOLE corner is smoked
* Smokescreen Duration 60s, CD: 115s(global)
* Timeleap CD: 20m(per char)

### Archers

### Mages

### Pirates
