Fight Mechanics

⬥ Stay aware of nearby Matriarchs when moving, as only 3/4 Matriarchs share the main arena

⬥ You should attack with Magic magic

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Fire spells firesurge give a +27% hit chance boost

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Any other style will only deal insignificant damage

​

Attack Rotation

3x melee → Frost Storm → melee → magic → Pyroclastic Shock →

3x melee → Pyroclastic Shock → magic → 2x melee → Pyroclastic Shock →

2x melee → magic → Pyroclastic Shock → 3x melee → Pyroclastic Shock → magic →

​

Auto Attacks (Melee example / Magic example)

Mechanic: Orikalka uses Melee melee and Magic magic auto attacks.

​

Solution:

⬥ If lower Defence defence pray against Melee deflectmelee / protectfrommelee

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Pray soulsplit once you are comfortable surviving the mechanics

​

Frost Storm / Frostbite (Example)

Mechanic: Orikalka spins in place, dealing up to 4500 Magic magic damage and applying Frostbite.

While Frostbite is active, your global cooldown is doubled for 30 seconds. This makes your abilities feel much slower and lowers your damage.

​

Solution:

⬥ If Frost Storm deals too much damage, use deflectmage / protectfrommagic or res

⬥ If you get Frostbite, either:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Keep fighting with abilities which don't care about the global cooldown (e.g., channels asphyx / gconc or damage-over-time abilities combust)

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Clear it using the fissures from Pyroclastic Shock (see below)

​

Pyroclastic Shock / Fissures (Example)

Mechanic: Orikalka slams its tail, creating 3 fissures on the ground. Standing on a fissure deals rapid Melee melee damage, with the final hit dealing up to 6000 damage.

​

Solution:

⬥ Avoid the fissures unless you are attempting to clear Frostbite (see above solution under Frost Storm)
