Nirma’s Mechanics

Targeting System

• Primary Target: The furthest visible player becomes Nirma’s primary focus, marked with a Glowing Orb above their head. This target remains fixed throughout the battle unless they die.
• Group Positioning: Allies must position themselves behind the boss while the targeted player moves strategically to avoid collateral damage.

Key Abilities and Mechanics

1. Fury Attack
   • Targets the marked player with bouncing AoE damage.
   • Allies must stay opposite the marked player to avoid chain damage.
2. Lightning Zones (“Pizza Slice”)
   • These zones shift based on the marked player’s position.
   • Keep movement minimal to control the placement of hazardous areas.
3. Cry in Desperation (Electrical AoEs)
   • Nirma casts Electrical AoEs in large cones, targeting the marked player.
   • The marked player should move clockwise or follow an agreed path to kite these away from the raid.
   • Healing Debuff: Avoid the AoE; stacking this debuff reduces healing significantly.
4. Arena-Wide Lightning Blast
   • When Nirma spins and gathers electrical currents, an arena-wide AoE blast is imminent.
   • Avoidance Tip: Time your jumps to evade the damage. Alternatively, tank the damage and rely on healers.

Nirma Boss Fight Strategy: Normal Difficulty

Phase 1

• Target Selection: Nirma locks onto the furthest visible player, marking them with a glowing ring.
• Positioning:
  • Allies: Stay behind Nirma to maximize DPS.
  • Marked Player: Maintain position while minimizing movement to control the lightning zones.
• Key Mechanics:
  • Watch for the “P Slice” Lightning Zones, and avoid their shifting placement.

Phase 2

• Transition Signal: Nirma lifts its staff and begins casting large lightning cones.
• Cone Strategy:
  • The marked player moves away from the group to kite the cones safely.
  • Guild members move to the original position of the marked player while avoiding lingering AoE zones.
  • Repeat this cycle until the phase reverts to Phase 1.
• Raid-Wide Lightning Blast:
  • Jump to avoid taking 40-50% HP damage.
  • Missing the jump? Coordinate with healers to recover quickly.

Tips for Success

1. Assign Roles Strategically:
   • Pair the marked player with a long-range healer familiar with Nirma’s mechanics.
   • Rotate healing cooldowns if the marked player accumulates healing debuffs.
2. Practice Movement Coordination:
   • Predetermine movement paths for the marked player to kite AoEs effectively.
   • Ensure guild members are aware of their positioning relative to Nirma.
3. Master the Lightning Blast Timing:
   • The arena-wide lightning attack can cause severe damage if poorly timed. Practice jumping to ensure your raid survives this mechanic.
