Thanks for the guide. I think you might reach more people with this guide if you rename it to Arcadion M1S instead of Arcadia R1, that seems to be the standard labelling.
thank you! (now PFs will hopefully agree on one strat xD.. T_T)
is there a way to tell, which clone she will teether to first? (seemed as if in the Drg pov of world 1st, they prepostioned before she woke up a clone,.. like depending on if she jumps left or right first??)
Really good guide. A suggestion for another simple way to resolve raining cats is to simply have melees stack on the hitbox w/ a healer and ranged further south w/ the other healer, then melees take the first set of tethers and tanks then invuln the next 3. The mech becomes braindead this way.
A few notes from my groupe maybe they help someone:
For the spread mechanic we did supports in first then dd second should not make a difference so whatever feels best for your group.
For elevate and eviscerate its good to know that she does both versions twice, so two knock ups and two knockdowns the order is random but you can use it for fast positioning if you are the last person to get hit or got two of the same as the first two hits
you can invuln 3 of the 4 tethers if you time it right, so having one tank stand close and one tank stand far with the tether while everyone else stands in two groups might be a strategie people use in the future. (we found it easier to just play it normally but that might depend on the group)
we are using this guide atm (PF), just we use color pairs instead of support move clockwise (which is better,.. but too many in PF atm are used to colour pairs T_T..)
is there a need to bait card/inter card on quadruple crossing? Is it not better to always just bait, on lets say, inter card to have card always be safe spot?
Note for those who may not be familiar: the conal AOEs of Quadruple Cross are often referred to as "proteans" by the community.
Just sharing that in case amybody gets confused in PF
Thx for the guide! I’ve been struggling with this boss for many hours now. It’s very helpful
I've been playing FFXIV for 2 years and this is my first savage, this is another whole level for me. Thx for the guide.
Quad swipe and duel swipe happens so fast that i always mess it up
M2 guide?
I'm being thrown off. For double swipe, you initially say, that it's for LPs to be east and west of the boss, but then you say later it should be northwest and southeast. Does it matter? Does it need to be cardinal, or intercardinal, or do LPs just need to be on opposite sides of the boss?
I don't get the spread at double/quad swipe you said rotate CW but I see none of that happening on screen. seems like ppl just went to predetermined locations
"you should use the order of THMR" yea make the healer move when it has to heal 3 stacks lol, i do not understand why people make the healer move so fast, i mean i do its cause other mechanics use THMR for other things for specific reasons and youre just copying that because its easy but like can guide makes think?
Question: The direction where you are thrown on the tiles is determined by what? Is it the back of the character?
My guy, you got a great video but your title is just plain wrong. It should be FFXIV Arcadion M1S Savage Guide or something like that, SEO is gonna hurt your channel a ton by having it wrong.
Most clear and concise guide I've ever seen made for this game. No overexplaining of basic things, clear and to the point with relevant video showing.
