Levanos Introduction
Levanos is the third Raid Level 4 Guardian and you need to be at least 1040 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 15% more damage from Fire Element skills.
Levanos's armor is the strongest one you have encountered so far and it demands the use of many Skills and Combat items with Weak Point affix. He has a few high damage skills in arsenal and is able to summon a sapling which makes him invisible. On top of that, the Guardian enrages below 30% HP and gets stronger.
This Guardian guide assumes you know the basics of a Guardian Raid. Check out the General Guardian Raid Guide to learn more.
Special Interactions & Patterns
Counterable Attack
Counter attack is possible during this attack pattern. At the start of this attack animation, the Guardian glows blue. The player has a short window to cast a skill with a Counter Attack affix while standing in front of the Guardian. If you manage to pull this off fast enough, the Guardian's attack will be interrupted and staggered for a few seconds. This gives you and your team a short window to use buffs and deal additional damage.
Armor Break
As mentioned in the introduction, Levanos has a thick armor which reduces incoming damage. Focus on destroying the armor before you use strong skills like your Awakening. To destroy the armor, use Skills and Combat items with Weak Point affix. To speed up the entire process, one member in the party should throw Corrosive Bomb right at the start before everyone follows up with their Weak Point affix skills and Combat Items. If you Take too long to destroy the armor, you might run out of time to slay the Guardian.
Levanos regains his armor after escaping to a new area, going Enrage or if you fail the Stagger Check.
Stagger Check
The Guardian places his hands on the Ground and tries to regain his lost armor. Interrupt this attack by using skills and Combat Items with the Stagger affix. If you fail to interrupt it, Levanos regains his armor and makes it harder to deal any damage until it is destroyed again.
Enrage
Once the HP of the Guardian drops below 30% he turns red and regains his armor. Additionally, his skills hit harder and some even get altered.
Sapling
Levanos summons a Sapling at a nearby location. Once summoned it imitates some of the Guardians's skills and is able to teleport frequently, but the minimap always shows its current location. As long as the sapling is alive, Levanos doesn't take any damage. The difficult part is being able to avoid both of their attacks while you deal damage to the Sapling.
Once you kill the 3rd Sapling, Levanos escapes to a new battle area and regains his armor.
General Patterns
Spirit Flame
Levanos fires Spirit Flames towards his cardinal directions for a few seconds, on hit the flames deal damage and push the player away from the Guardian. While enraged, the Guardian places Spirit Flames to a nearby area instead of channeling it actively below him.
Slam
Levanos slams both hands on the ground dealing low damage and staggering on hit.
The enhanced slam has a longer animation, use this extra time to get out form in front of the Guardian. Once Levanos's hands hit the ground, thorns appear and expand to a huge area in front of the Guardian. On hit, this skill deals massive damage and knocks up the player.
Spirit Flare
Levanos summons flares around him. These flares descend slowly towards the ground and explode on impact, dealing damage and knocking up everyone close to it. An attack with a long summoning animation, which should be used to deal uninterrupted damage to the guardian.
Spirit Storm
Levanos surrounds himself with raging Spirit Storm that can hit a player multiple times and pushes you away from the Guardian.
Spirit Explosions
This is the signature and most annoying attack of this Guardian. He summons multiple circles around the targeted player, which explode after 1 second dealing damage and knocking up on hit. He can cast this skill subsequently.
Spirit Prison
The Guardian can use this attack while enraged to summons a Spirit Prison around him. If a player touches the wall, it pushes him back and deals damage. You can use spacebar to dodge through it.
Spirit Walls
The Guardian summons 3 Spirit Walls close to the targeted player. These walls remain for a while and deal damage to everyone close to it.
Backwards Spin
The Guardian spins backwards to reposition himself. This attack doesn't deal any damage, but be aware of the follow-up attacks!
Root Trap
The Guardian summons multiple traps around him, on contact they stun the player. You can use spacebar to dodge through the traps without getting stunned.
