Information

Raid Bosses have a unique weakness of having separate parts that can be damaged at the same time. This allows players to multiply the damage they dealt to the boss depending on the situation.

  • First Position: Horizontally long attacks can hit both of Eltrion's claws.
    • Post-Awakening: After Eltrion's awakening, a large AOE attack can hit Eltrion's head and one of its claws.
    • Dual Gleam: Horizontally long attacks can hit both of Eltrion's claws and its head during this attack.
  • Transition - A: Vertically long attacks can hit Eltrion's body, head, and right claw. Eltrion's body also has a very large hit-box, making it easier to land full hits with certain skills.


Attack Pattern Changes

Raid Bosses will periodically change their locations after set amounts of time and use different attacks when their HP drops to a certain point.

  • Second Position: Sixty seconds after the start of the raid, Eltrion will always move to Position 2. Eltrion will always leave Position 2 after thirty seconds at any point of the raid.
  • Energy Scan: At 70% HP, Eltrion will begin to mix Energy Scan in with its attacks.
  • Dual Gleam: At 70% HP, Eltrion will begin to mix Dual Gleam in with its attacks.
  • Particle Rain: At 50% HP, Eltrion will begin to mix Particle Rain in with its attacks.
  • Awakening: In their original positions, Raid Bosses will awaken and increase their power levels when their HP reaches 40%.


Strategy

  • Electron Crush: Avoid being below the claws.
  • Slash: Move to the highest platform.
  • Repel: Either get in between the claws or move to the highest platform.
  • Energy Scan: When the claws face inward and glows green, get away from Eltrion.
  • Dual Gleam: Either get away from Eltrion or move near its head.
  • Transition - A Crush: Move to the wall if you were attacking Eltrion's claw.
  • Transition - A Slash: Move to the upper or bottom-most platform.
  • Searing Laser:
    • Dodge or Stoic the push.
    • If you were pushed, quickly move back to Eltrion's torso or claw.
    • If you can't move back to position quickly enough after being pushed, get away from Eltrion.
  • Energy Stream: When Eltrion's core glows green, get away from it asap.
  • Strafe Run:
    • If the bottom-most platform is glowing, move to the highest platform at the edges.
    • If the 2nd top-most platform is glowing, move to the lowest platform. You must also get off any mount. (The Hamelings doesn't seem to be hit because their hitbox are not as high as the other mounts).
      • If you're an Add or Aisha, you can alternatively use their ability to float above the highest platform.
  • Particle Rain: This attack is very difficult to avoid.
    • Get a large amount of hp, defense, mag. defense, and damage reduction so you can survive one missile. The knockdown caused by that missile will help you avoid other missiles.
      • Note that this tactic only works if you're on the lowest platform. If you tried this at the highest platform, the missiles will turn back to you before hitting the ground.
    • Move to a low platform and use skills that gives a 100% chance of evasion like Dodge and Slash.
    • If only one missile is targeting you, you can negate its damage with Elesis' Iron Body - Strong or Elsword's Destruction mode.
    • Eve can use her summons as a shield.
    • Iron Paladin can use Guard to reduce the damage. For the best result, Chung's back should be facing towards the wall while guarding.
    • Well timed, circular movements can enable you to run around the missiles.
    • Awakening can also be used to dodge the missiles when they come close (Add's Dynamo Configuration mode won't work because he can still be damaged when using it).
    • Entering invincibility frames the moment before the missiles spawn enables you to avoid detection and it will fly off harmlessly. It will then select a different target if available.
    • Another exception is going up and down between platforms when a missile heads your way. This method is used by most players but if you don't know how to do it correctly, you will get hit.
  • Final Exemption:
    • If Eltrion is red while charging, move to the left half of the map or to the highest platform on the right edge.
    • If Eltrion is green while charging, move to the right half of the map or to the highest platform on the left edge.
