Worqor Lar Dor (Normal) Mechanics

Trauma and Concussion Debuffs

If the Boss Tell mentions A tempestuous wind surrounds Valigarmanda, move to the center of the platform to avoid a donut-shaped AoE attack!

Getting hit once inflicts Trauma which is a stacking debuff that deals DoT. Getting hit twice stacks the debuff and Trauma turns into Concussion then inflicts stun and damage down to those who get hit twice.

Stack at the Center when Strong Winds Surround the Arena

If the Boss Tell mentions A tempestuous wind surrounds Valigarmanda, move to the center of the platform to avoid a donut-shaped AoE attack!

Get Out of Melee Range When the Boss Gathers Strength

If the Boss Tell mentions Valigarmanda gathers its strength, move away from Melee Range before its claws slam on the ground to avoid getting damaged.

Move to the Front Corners if Its Beak Starts Glowing

If the Boss Tell mentions Blinding energies build within Valigarmanda's wide-open beak, run to the nearest corner at the front of the platform to avoid its massive cone-shaped attack!

Pay Attention to the Boss Tell

Valigarmanda's attacks do not have a cast bar so pay close attention to its tells and movements and reposition accordingly.

While there are boss tells popping up to give hints to players, it's much better to react and reposition to avoid getting unnecessary damage!

Mitigate Skyruin's Raid Wide Damage

At some point of the fight, Valigarmanda will cast Skyruin, change the platform to Snow, and deal raid-wide damage.

This damage is easily recoverable by healers, and a mini-phase will begin shortly.

Go to the Opposite Side of the Arrows During Avalanche

During Avalanche, a Boss Tell mentions A rumbling avalanche approaches from the southeast, followed by large blue arrows pointing and sliding towards a direction to indicate where the attack will happen.

Simply move to the opposite side to avoid it!

Keep Moving During Freezing Dust

Immediately after Avalanche goes out, Valigarmanda casts Freezing Dust.

A huge indicator can be seen on everyone's heads, so make sure to keep moving and jumping until the timer finishes to avoid getting damaged and debuffed.

Dodge Line Attacks During Arcane Sphere - Ice

During Arcane Sphere - Ice, two huge ice spheres will form and burst in a line formation.

To avoid getting hit and frozen, know that the spheres explode in a starburst pattern and the lines are thick.

The trick is to position yourself in-between the circles and move a bit further from the spheres!

Prioritize Freeing Frozen Players

If there are party members that get hit, prioritize freeing them before going back to hitting the boss!

Mitigate Raid-Wide Damage During Disaster Zone

The platform will change from Ice to normal during Disaster Zone, so simply heal and mitigate incoming raid-wide damage.

Glowing Tiles and Phase Change During Skyruin - Storm

During this phase, the platform will change again and glowing tiles will appear.

Standing on the glowing tiles levitates players, and going to a non-glowing area puts players back on the ground.

Levitate to Avoid Thunderous Breath

Thunderous Breath is an arena-wide attack that will hit anyone who's not levitating.

Stand on the glowing tiles to levitate and avoid damage.

Stay on the Ground During Hail of Feathers

During Hail of Feathers, four feathers with lightning clouds hovering over them will drop on the ground and act as Thunder Rods that will hit players who are levitating.

Players need to stay on the ground and stay away from the plumes before they explode in a wide AoE circle.

Stand On an Empty Lane During Arcane Sphere (Purple)

This time, purple Arcane Spheres will spawn at the edge of the arena.

Reposition and move to an empty lane to avoid getting hit! Afterwards, another Disaster Zone cast happens and the platform goes back to normal once again.

Shared Tankbuster Pillar During Ruinfall

When playing as a Tank, make sure to position yourselves at a safe spot to avoid getting hit by the Tornado at the edge of the platform, pop mitigations, and stand on the shared tankbuster pillar.

Healers and DPS can already move into a safe position to avoid getting hit by the shared tankbuster, while also avoiding getting knocked into the Tornado puddles.

If you're not feeling too confident about repositioning, stand on your chosen spot and hit Arms Length or Surecast to avoid getting knocked back.

Heal and Mitigate Raid-Wide Damage During Ruin Foretold

Just another quick heal and mitigating raid-wide damage section.

Destroy the Beacons During Ruinous Power and Calamitous Cry

During Ruinous Power, three beacons that need to be destroyed as soon as possible will appear along with Calamitous Cry that places a lined stack marker on one of the players.

While chaotic due to the both mechanics going off at the same time, make sure to always stack with the player that has the stack marker, and destroy the beacons to stop the gauge from filling up and causing a wipe!

Heal and Mitigate Raid-Wide Damage During Tulidisaster

Make sure to use party regen, shields, Addle, Feint, and other damage mitigations here.

Damage Over Time During Perpetual Conflagration

Once Valigarmanda casts Perpetual Conflagration, players now enter the final phase of the fight and gain a Damage Over Time debuff until the boss is defeated.

Healers need to keep watch on their party member's health bars and cast heals more often than earlier phases.

Avoid Red AoE Circles During Eruption

During Eruption, three red AoE circles will form where three random players are standing. These AoE circles explode quickly, so watch them and reposition immediately the moment they show up!

Remember to watch the boss and its movements as it mixes in its three movements at the start of the fight!

Final Round of Skyruin (Ice Phase)

During this phase of Skyruin - Ice, Arcane Spheres, Avalanche, and Freezing Dust mechanics will be mixed together.

Move to the opposite spot once the Avalanche Arrows appear and reposition to avoid getting hit and frozen by the Arcane Spheres.

Big Shields on Tanks During Ice Talon Tankbusters

Healers can choose to deploy big shields and regen on both tanks to mitigate the tankbusters during Ice Talon!

Final Round of Skyruin Thunder Phase

During this phase of Skyruin - Thunder, the purple arcane spheres and levitation mechanics are now mixed.

Avoid getting damaged by levitating on the empty lane!

Mechanics Now Repeat Until Boss is Defeated

After both final rounds of Skyruin - Thunder and Skyruin - Ice have been shown and the fight is not over yet, mechanics will now continue to repeat until Valigarmanda is defeated.
