Lava Chromanium Introduction

Lava Chromanium is the second Raid Level 4 Guardian and you need to be at least 1000 Item Level to enter this Guardian Raid. This Guardian drops Tier 2 Accessories, Upgrade Materials and Ability Stones as well as rare drops including Runes, Engraving Books and Cards. It takes 10% more damage from Water Element skills.

This Guardian is a more deadly version of the Raid Level 2 Chromanium. Besides from its toughness, Lava Chromanium's sets the ground on fire similar to Flame Fox Yoho, making it a difficult encounter. His attacks apply a Burn debuff on hit, luckily it doesn't last that long. Additionally, the low HP mechanic Melting Core forces everyone to slay the Guardian as soon as possible. Otherwise you might end up using all your consumables and die one by one until a wipe occurs.

This Guardian guide assumes you know the basics of a Guardian Raid. Check out the General Raid Guide to learn more.

Special Interactions & Patterns

Shell Break

Shell Break

the shell of the Guardian breaks once you have dealt enough Weak Point damage using proper skills and Battle Items. Unlink the Raid Level 2 Chromanium, this Guardian's shell doesn't reduce its damage taken. On the contrary, destroying the shell of this Guardian has some disadvantages.

The benefits of destroying the shell are, it removes the annoying Meteorite and buried Barrage attacks of the Guardian. The disadvantages are, it adds the pattern Volcano to his attack pool and grants him the ability to escape the battle.

If your party doesn't struggle because of Meteorite and Buried Barrage attacks, I would recommend to delay the shell destruction as much as possible by not using too many skills or Combat Items with a Weak Point affix.

General Patterns

Fire Breath

Fire Breath

Normal
180° Breath

An easy to dodge breath attack that hits everyone in front of the Guardian in a straight line. It has a long reach, which is why you should always try to dodge to the sides and not away from the Guardian. The ground affected by this attack changes into a fire field for a certain amount of time.

The long breath in animation while tracking the targeted player with its entire body is an unmistakable animation for the Breath attack and its variants. There is enough time between the breaths to jump or move away from the AoE. Don't panic and turn the Guardian towards your teammates if you are being targeted.
