M11S - Raw Steel Trophy
Before the party pulls the boss, make sure that both tanks have their stance up, because the upcoming mechanic will end in a tragic accident if one of the tanks forgets about it.
Upon pulling The Tyrant, the boss will do a few auto attacks before using Crown of Arcadia, which is the generic raidwide of this fight. As with the majority of the attacks in this fight, this raidwide is physical, which means Feints are more important, while Addle and DRK/GNB 90s are less important.
Raw Steel Trophy
After dealing with the raidwide, the boss will use Raw Steel Trophy to summon a weapon. This weapon can either be a scythe or an axe, which will also determine what the attack will do.
| Axe | Scythe |
|---|---|
![]() | ![]() |
Axe will inflict a two-man tankbuster on either the main or the 2nd highest aggro, while the six lowest enmity players will receive a spread AoE. The scythe on the other hand, will inflict a cone tankbuster on the two players with the highest enmity, while the non-tanks will have to deal with a stack.
Note that the wording on the axe is intentional, because if one of the tanks forget their stance, then the spread AoE can randomly hit the tank instead, killing both tanks instantly if they also get tankbustered. The damage is obviously worse if the tank forgot their stance in the scythe pattern, but this means that both tanks must absolutely not forget about their aggro no matter which pattern you get.
This attack will appear twice in this fight, and whichever pattern that doesn't appear now will appear later when he does this attack the 2nd time.
