Description
"In the north summits of Banges Industries dwells a composite creature created by the Heirs of Aida called Apophis. It's in charge of guarding the Heirs' base in the high mountains. Designed based on the genes of aberrant panthers, Apophis combines the agility of the Panthera species and the artificial intelligence of composite creatures. After the Heirs of Aida modified its forepaws into machinery paws, Apophis has now possessed mighty power that could tear up the earth."

How to Beat Apophis

How to beat Apophis
Hide behind the Omnium Handcannon Pillar Dodge when Apophis' eyes flash

Hide behind the Omnium Handcannon Pillar

Apophis' strongest attack is his Electric Ball AoE. Fortunately, players can hide behind any structure like the giant bones in the vicinity. Using the Omnium Handcannon to make a piller to hide behind is the easiest method.

General Boss Tips

General Tips
Invite friends Use heavy weapons to break shields Prepare food beforehand

Invite friends

There's almost no way of beating any World Boss alone. Invite friends or other players through the World chat. There should at least be 4-6 players battling Robarg.

Make sure at least one of the players on your team is a healer.
How to Add Friends

Use heavy weapons to break shields

The most troublesome part about fighting boss enemies is breaking their shield. Use weapons with great shatter abilities like Huma or Meryl to break its shields easily.

Prepare food beforehand

World bosses deal a lot of damage with each attack so players should be prepared with food to heal themselves.

Apophis Attack Patterns

Apophis Attack Patterns
Lunge Rock Throw Swipe AoE Physical Attack Combos Electric Ball AoE

Lunge

Its most common attack is also Apophis' most annoying. Its lunge attack keep it mobile so carefully time your special attacks. Tsubasa is not recommended as her special is more suitable to low mobility enemies.

Dodge Apophis' lunge by timing it with its eyes and stance. It'll lower its stance first then flash its eyes just before lunging. Getting hit will stagger you for a moment.

Rock Throw

Apophis readies to throw a giant rock by scooping its right arm on the ground. Players should dodge as its eyes turn red.

Swipe AoE

Its swipe attack is its only short range AoE attack. Like its other moves, you can time a dodge perfectly when its eyes flash red. The AoE is quite small but encompasses an entire circle.

Physical Attack Combo

This combo consists of three moves: a left-hand swipe, right-hand swipe, and the final smash to the ground. The swipes do not stagger you but its final smash attack will.

Be sure to dodge its final attack as it will keep you immobile for a bit.

Electric Ball AoE

Apophis summons a barrage of electric balls that do high damage. They are hard to dodge but hiding behind structures will keep you safe.

Make a tower using the Omnium Handcannon to hide behind it.

What to do if Apophis is not Spawning?

Wait for an Hour

After a World Boss has been defeated, it will respawn exactly one hour after it has been defeated, so waiting around for it to come back is not recommended.
