❄️ Frost Giant Behemoth — Raid Guide

⚔️ Recommended Setup

• Mandatory: Be online 30 minutes before the scheduled start (exact date/time TBD by leadership).
• Troops: Balanced raid — tanks to hold position, ranged for damage, exactly 10 Cavalry assigned for Manastone duty in phase 2.
• Formation: Move as one unit behind icicles; only designated players step out when marked.
• Key: Icicle placement wins or loses the fight — never stack icicles or block lanes.

🧭 Phase 1 — DPS & Icicles

• Frost Giant targets 2–3 legions with a blue ground circle.
• An icicle spawns at your position after a short delay — move early so it lands where the raid needs it.
• Boss attacks overlap with icicle mechanics — treat telegraphs as higher priority than meter.

Icicle rules

• Never place icicles on top of each other.
• Leave clear paths for the raid to rotate.
• Bad placement = blocked allies and unnecessary deaths.

Dodge priority

• Red rectangle → move immediately.
• Red circle → ice ball — step out.
• Mechanics > DPS at all times.

Phase transition

• A massive attack is coming — hide behind an icicle in the blue safe zone.

✔ Goal: Clean icicle layout, everyone alive into phase 2.

🟡 Phase 2 — Call of the Ancient

• The Giant gains 100% defense (damage reduction).
• Only the 10 designated Cavalry collect Manastones.
• Each stone removes 10% of that defense buff; at 0%, full damage resumes.

Everyone else

• Stay grouped behind one icicle.
• When a player is marked, they move in front of the stack as called.
• When that icicle breaks, the whole group moves together to the next safe icicle.
• No spreading — stragglers die.

💎 Strategy: Cavalry focus stones only; the raid is a single blob behind cover until defense is stripped.

💚 Healing Window

• After phase 2, Mana Stones spawn (Healing Manastone window).
• Ranged units heal first when leadership calls it.
• Tank pulls the Giant away from the pile so the raid can collect safely.
• Use the breather to reset — phase 1-style mechanics return next.

✔ Goal: Top off lightly wounded units and reposition before the next cycle.

⏰ Enrage Timer

• 8 minutes after battle starts, Glacial Fissures enrages the Frost Giant — Groundspike will instantly kill Legions still inside the Lair.
• Plan DPS and mechanics so the fight does not reach this state.

🚨 Time limit: Treat 8 minutes as a hard cap unless your raid has the DPS to end earlier.

📌 Absolute Rules

• Do not stack icicles.
• Cavalry only pick stones in phase 2.
• Move as one unit — no solo heroes.
• Mechanics > DPS > ego.

✅ Victory Condition

• Icicles spaced for movement and blue-zone hides on big hits.
• Cavalry clears the 100% defense layer without others stealing stones.
• Raid heals during the Manastone window and re-enters phase 1 cleanly.
• Boss dies before 8-minute enrage.

Stay alive. Stay grouped. Kill the Giant. ❄️⚔️
