# Chaotic COD Timeline/Callouts

## Preamble

This is a personally made document for me. While I hope others can get use out of what's listed here, I can't say whether or
not it'll be perfectly translatable for others. In general, anything inside [] will be resolved straight after that mechanic.
_{TANK SWAP}_ refers to *good* times to swap tanks, but it won't be foolproof.

## Phase 0

Blade Of Darkness - Left, Right, Out

Blade Of Darkness - Left, Right, Out

Deluge of Darkness - Bleedwide, need big mits

## Phase 1

Grim Embrace - F/B, B/F, determines the order of hands later.

Cloudlets (Fans) - Appear during Grim, start shortly after, 2 side steps to dodge.

_{TANK SWAP}_

The timeline will now diverge, depending on what's casted:

### Split 1 (Death/Aero casted)

Death/Aero - Max melee or Tips of diamonds

Blade of Darkness - Left, Right, Out

En(death,aero) - Stores death/aero for next blade of darkness, remember this.

Rapid-sequence particle beam - Alliance stacks w/ tanks in front. (a bit of mitigation is nice)

Cloudlets (Fans) again

_{TANK SWAP}_

Blade of darkness - REMEMBER STORED MECHANIC STRAIGHT AFTER; KB immune 1/2 way through

Flare - A/B/C, or jump off if you can't make it, otherwise under her chin

### Split 2 (Flare casted)

Flare - A/B/C, or jump off if you cannot make it, otherwise under her chin.

Unholy Darkness - LP stacks, find your healer

Blade of Darkness - L, R, O

En(death,aero) - Stored for next BoD, remember

_{TANK SWAP}_ -> Hands before.

Break - Eyes spawn, call a/b/c as safest look. If player is petrified, should cast KB invuln as soon as they're out.

Blade Of Darkness - L, R, O w/ stored mechanic. KB invuln at 3.5s / 1/2 cast left.

_{TANK SWAP}_ -> Right around the KB invuln time

Cloudlets (Fans) again.

_{TANK SWAP}_

Aero/Death - Same as always

### Always

Flood of Darkness - Moderate damage, but don't use heavy mit on it

## Phase 2

Deluge of Darkness - Arena change, big mits, bleed-wide, give party buffs before leaving

_Tanks should provoke targets._

_DPS should kill Atomos._

Dark Dominion - Big hurt raidwide, only tiles can directly mit the boss (feint/etc) !! NEEDS MIT.

Third Art of Darkness - Cleave/Spreads/Pairs, call as it's seen

Towers - Spawn during Third Art, tiles players should preposition for their tower. Third art players should go
    directly after. **NO OPEN TOWERS** (prefer vuln stacks over an open tower, as that kills).

Ghastly Gloom - Donut/Cross (in/far out)

Curse of Darkness - Big raidwide from adds, starting gaze times.

[**SHORT GAZE**]

Brambles - Targets 8 players with a seed, players should bring to their waymarks.

Ghastly Gloom - Donut/Cross (Opp of other cast)

[**MED GAZE**]

Thorny Vines - Bramble tethers. Platforms gets the physical brambles, tiles get their own set of tethers together. Tiles tanks should tuck into the cubby created by brambles.

_*POT WINDOW HERE*_

[_*Flood Of Darkness*_] - Casted during this time TANKS/PHYS RANGE MUST INTERRUPT OR IT HURTS

Spreads/Stacks - If she glows purple, big stacks, platform should only have melee/tank on it, rest of them spread on the ring.
If she glows orange, stacks. Healer to refresh tiles, tank in front, eat the hit (this should be decently mitigated)

_REFRESHES SHOULD BE DONE HERE, NO REFRESHES DURING MK_

Mario Kart - Adds will cast core/lateral phaser, platform dodge this, then players must go to their MK positions. No more refreshes, you'll die.

[**LAST GAZE**]

Excruciate - Tank buster, directly after MK, is an AOE so tanks should take this away from group

Looming Chaos - Swaps positions.

[ATOMOS WILL SPAWN, DPS KILL BEFORE SWAPS]

### Phase 2 - Swaps

_Tanks should provoke their targets_

Curse of darkness - Gazes

Towers spawn, before resolve

Core/Lateral Phaser - Same thing as before, go into towers straight after this resolves.

[**FIRST GAZE**]

Dark Dominion - Big damage, needs mit.


Third Art of Darkness - Always pairs

[**SECOND GAZE**]

(ATOMOS SPAWN)

AT THE SAME TIME AS TAoD (this should be called out over it).

Chasers - Players should be positioned in the front left of their tiles. Players may get a marker,
they need to move as *soon* as they get it. Tanks need to tuck into the cubby that was opened if they don't have a chaser.

Cross/Donut - In/Out

Core/Lateral - Platforms

Spreads/Stacks - Orange to stack, purple to spread

[**THIRD GAZE**]

Flood of Darkness - Interrupts from adds on platforms.

Evaporation - Start P3/Enrage transition (this is a decent time to healer LB3 to get bodies)

## Phase 3

Boss health should be at ~25% or less. Pop melee LB3 (but prefer healer LB3).

Flood of Darkness - Smaller raidwide, small mits

Boss Teleports to North

Deluge of Darkness - Big raidwide as before, mits, etc needed.


Repeat of phase 1 mechanics. The timeline will be the *opposite* of whichever was done in P1.
