WIPE DEBUFFS: - Hybridized Wrath - The Final Laceration DEBUFFS: - The Ways of Death - Virulent Touch - Arc of Zios - Sol of Zios - Void of Zios - Judgement - Burdened Hands BUFFS: - ELEMENTAL CONVERGENCE - The Ways of Old - Electric Might - Eternal Flames - Emptiness INTRO: Zios will be knelt in front of the tree. Right next to him is a sword for the guardian to pick up and wield. To start, one guardian must grab the sword and swing at Zios. Zios will then disappear and reappear behind 1 of the 6 guardians, slicing them in the back, in a very samurai-like manner. This will trigger the debuff (Virulent Touch) for that person, sending said guardian, flying across the arena. Zios, The Elementalist PART 1 Zios will accompanied with a few other enemies, known as Swordsman (Fallen Captains that have followed the Ways of Zios and gained skill through the sword instead of a gun). They teleport next to guardians to attack with their sword, they also have a sword slash technique that cuts through the air, sending a wave of energy as the attack. They're very difficult to take out so make sure it's not just one person dealing with them. Once you take out all the Swordsmen (in which there are Six) Zios will begin attacking. His sword sends streaks of arc, solar, and void energy towards the guardians, very similar to the Swordsman, just slightly bigger and more powerful. He will also use his sword to send electricity through the floor (arc), fire to burn the surrounding sides of the player (solar) and dark energy to make clones of himself (void) After a few attacks, Zios will then phase out of existence to then reappear floating on top of the tree. Patiently waiting... PART 2 There will be six pillars evenly spread out across the arena, each withholding different power. When Zios sends energy to them, it activates their symbol that each have been engraved with. The center, where the tree is will also have a symbol engraved within. A text will then appear: Zios challenges the Guardians 3 random guardians (besides the one with Virulent Touch) will then get a debuff known as The Ways of Death (TWD): ROLE TWD: These guardians must travel to 3 of the 6 pillars to gain their respective power. NOTE: A CIRCLE WILL FORM AROUND 3 OF THE PILLARS, EACH CONTAINING A DIFFERENT COLOR (RANDOMLY), VARYING FROM ARC, SOLAR, OR VOID. The guardians will have to stay around these pillars to gain their power. However; while this is happening, they will gain a debuff known as Judgement, making them test their power by taking away the super energy and defeating incoming Marauders and and Captains with swords. You must last long enough so that a Swordsman spawns in. These, however, are different. They each have a different name: Jremiks, Swordsman of Electric Might Tyikol, Swordsman of Eternal Flame Vukhi, Swordsman of Emptiness Each of them will contain a certain power, either Void, Arc, or Sol. They will not spawn to their respective pillar either. Once defeated, they will drop a elemental-like katana. Once the Swordsman is defeated, Judgement will disappear and you'll gain a buff when you pick up the katana. The katana will give you one of the respective buff based on the Swordsman: - Electric Might - Eternal Flames - Emptiness Once you grab the katana, you must go to the pillar that's meant for that katana(remember that the pillars have distinctive looks when they have power imbued in it). Get to the pillar and insert the sword so that it can absorb the energy. Grab the sword afterwards and bring it to the tree. Insert it into the tree and wait for the buff to come back again. NOTE: THE BUFF WILL ONLY GO TO PEOPLE THAT HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT YET, FOR THE 3 THAT GRABBED THE KATANAS GAIN A DEBUFF: BURDENED HANDS 2 guardians this time will gain the buff to go to pillars while the one with Virulent Touch will go to the pillar that's lit up with all 3 elements. Repeat as the first 3 pillars, but now when the Swordsman appear they will have different names: Qiliks, Sacred Swordsman Deeksis, Sacred Swordsman Kitariks, Devourer Swordsman Kitariks will head for the pillar with all 3 elements imbued in it, to drain the power and wipe the Guardians, known as Hybridized Wrath. Kill all the Swordsman and insert the 2 normal katanas into the Virulent pillar. This will take the shield off Kitariks and now you can damage him. Kill him, take his Devourer Katana, and insert it into the pillar to take all of the elements from it. Take it to the tree and grab the energy from that one and combine it with the Devourer Katana. The Guardian with Virulent Touch will then get a buff known as ELEMENTAL CONVERGENCE and will shoot it at Zios, who is above the tree, floating. Now while all of this is happening, the other 3 guardians have to guard the tree. NOTE: THE TREE WILL ALSO HAVE A CIRCLE AROUND IT AS WELL. AT LEAST 3 GUARDIANS NEED TO BE INSIDE OF IT TO ACTIVATE THE PILLARS. They will also have the buff known as Judgement. ROLE DEFEND: The 3 guardians must defend the tree from Swordsman that will occasionally spawn in: - Void Swordsman - Arc Swordsman - Sol Swordsman If one sacrifices themself into the tree, it's a wipe. So make sure to defend the tree. Continue this until ELEMENTAL CONVERGENCE begins. PART 3 Once the guardian strikes Zios with the energy from the Devourer Katana, Zios will then drop to the ground, making him vulnerable to attacks, but not defenseless. DPS PHASE: The guardian with the Devourer Katana must strike the tree to gain more energy so that Zios can stay on the ground. While this is happening, the other guardians will obtain Katanas, which will then begin the buff The Ways of Old. Once you do enough damage, Zios will grab one of the guardians to have them obtain Virulent Touch. Rinse and repeat the process. Once at halfway, Zios will switch to his staff, which will have new attacks and he becomes more aggressive: - His staff can emit electricity that can be sent to the floor to keep guardians grounded. - He can also create a fog of Void energy so you can't see very far and he will also be invisible. - He will be able to send hellfire from above, creating AoE effects and DOT if you happen to get hit by it. Once defeated, The One and Many will appear, hovering over the body... PHASE 2 WILL BE COMING SOON Any feedback would be great! [i]-The One and Many[/i]
