## Akh Morn
Make sure your party stands on the designated side of her hitbox. 
**AKH MORNS ARE BAITED RANDOMLY BY PLAYERS STANDING ON EACH SIDE OF THE BOSSES HITBOX!**
Make sure you slide over your side (G1 left looking at boss, G2 right looking at boss)
Use her hitbox front indicator to know you're on the correct side. 
Do not stand directly in the middle of her front indicator! Move past it if you have to move over.

## Paradise Regained
[Paradise Regained](https://x.com/Lial_Varia/status/1862933327734288672)
[Wings+Towers Doc](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1SLQpfdSyldjtzbe7hXUCOufRZ8DeYFEJwSS6C1iRBrI/edit#slide=id.p)

Dark = Party OUT - Tank IN
Light = Party IN - Tank OUT

The first tower is the new relative south. Opposite of it is the new relative north (duh).
MT make sure to stand in new relative north, move to position according to the google doc.
OT make sure to taunt her mid cast. The 2nd hit locks very late so even at the end of the cast works just fine. If MT places it correctly you can just stand on the line on the correct side that got cleaved and its safe.

Healers take 1st tower that spawns - Make sure to stand further in / out depending on dark / light first.
G1 DPS (M1 R1) go left (relative NW) - Stand close to the edge of the tower relative north
G2 DPS (M2 R2) go right (relative NE) - Stand close to the edge of the tower relative north

## Polarizing Strikes:
After every mech, Tanks can prioritize to face the boss north again so this can be played on 3 and 4 marker.
**JUST LIKE AKH MORN THIS IS PLAYED RELATIVE TO HER HITBOX, MAKE SURE ONE GROUP STANDS SW ONE GROUP STANDS SE, THIS DOESN'T ALWAYS PLAY OUT ON 3 AND 4!** 
G1 goes left behind boss
G2 goes right behind boss

There has to be a different role infront after each hit. Swap sides after being in front.
Order of baits and swaps:
Tank infront > swap sides
Melee infront > swap sides 
Ranged infront > swap sides
Healer infront > STILL MOVE OUT OF IT! > over

## Pandora's Box
The Tank LB gatekeep mechanic.
Press LB on D of Pan**D**ora.
LB Prio: WAR>DRK>PLD>GNB

## Enrage
DPS LB Prio: Just talk abt who LBs, the loss is minor so let someone sac themself.
Make sure you LB instantly once the LB3 Bar is full. There is like 1 second leeway and you can miss it.
