Stay Behind or at Aten’s Side During Its Single Laser AttackStay Behind or at Aten's Side During Its Single Laser Attack
Aten will start the battle with a single laser attack that deals continuous damage. Instead of entirely avoiding this attack, it is better to position your character behind or at Aten's side while it's happening. This gives you the opportunity to deal damage without getting hit by the laser beam.
Avoid Exploding Runes
Aten will also lay three runes on the floor that start exploding either from the inner or outer rune. A rune is about to explode when its markings start to glow. This is your cue to stop attacking or dodge the explosion. Take advantage of the delayed explosion to deal damage without getting hit by Aten.
Dodge Homing Projectiles
Aten occasionally fires multiple homing projectiles at your frontline character. When the projectiles are about to hit, switch to another character or dodge to avoid them.
Cast Skills or Perform a Heavy Attack During Aten's Glowing Attacks
Some skills have a golden glow, which you can interrupt by casting a skill. Time your skills or heavy attacks carefully to interrupt Aten's attacks and stun them for a short time. If it is not a glowing attack, triggering an Elemental Overload can still interrupt Aten and stun it for a brief period.
Classes and Elements Explained
Focus on Dodging Aten's Combo Attacks
Aten will become more aggressive during its second phase. At the start, it will lay three large runes on the ground and simultaneously cast laser beams in four directions. Focus on dodging these attacks, as Aten will cast multiple skills during this phase. A well-timed dodge or using the Pendant's skill can help you consistently deal damage while avoiding Aten's combo attacks.

Aten Boss Lore
Aten Data
| Description |
|---|
| The “Sun” descended on the earth several times throughout history. It destroyed ancient Memphis's royal city of Ehtaton and then turned into the star of Ephrathah, rising slowly over the Philistine Sea. It can understand certain instructions, and the language that constitutes these instructions is so ancient that one cannot even imagine it. It was once regarded as a god by all people, as private property by emperors, and as a weapon by ambitious people, but its true appearance has nothing to do with any of these human wishes. From the perspective of modern technology it is a replica of a star, but its origin clearly lies much further away than any of the stars in the sky. |
