Kazeros Raid Mordum Gate 3 Guide

• This is a special gauge that can be seen underneath your character.
• It increases anytime you take damage from certain attacks or attacks from the opposite color charge of you.
• It triggers special effects:
  • When reaching above 50%.
  • At full gauge.

Above 50%

• Upon reaching 50% you will flip your color to the opposite charge.
• You will have a field around you that damages and gives gauge to the opposite color charge players.
• Try to avoid opposite charge players.

Full Gauge

• Upon reaching a full Electricity Gauge, you will trigger a map-wide explosion that paralyzes anyone caught within it as well as increase their gauge.
• To avoid this, either you or your teammates must take the Grappling Hook and time it as it explodes.
  • If the arena is not broken, then you must run to the edge of the arena as there are no Grappling Hooks yet.

• After successfully performing counters/co-op counters in the starting phase of the fight, Mordum will give a brief window to inflict destruction to him.
  • Before counters, Supports should always throw their Corrosive Bomb, to increase destruction.
• Chip away at this meter over time.
• Use Sidereal Balthor on a longer co-op counter pattern or at the 1st stage break to finish off the destruction if it hasn't been broken yet.

• When fighting Mordum, stage breaks occur at specific HP intervals, similar to Thaemine gate 3.
• Upon breaking the stage, players gain access to the Grappling Hook.
• These can be utilized on the side of the map by walking near the purple edges.
• When riding the Grappling Hook players must complete a typing test which always consists of the letter "A".
• If the stage has been broken 1–2 times, you're required to press "A" only once.
  • Twice if the stage has been broken 3–4 times.
• The hook is used to avoid death from certain raid mechanics by timing it correctly.
• It goes on a 15-second cooldown from the moment of taking it.

1. Mordum concentrates electricity in his right arm and smashes it to the ground, then does the same with his left arm.

Description

• Right arm hits the ground → 3 blue cone telegraphs explode.
• Left arm hits the ground → twisters emerge from where the explosion happened.
• While the twisters rotate, Mordum turns repeatedly and shoots 3 laser beams in front of him 1 by 1.
• Twisters and the laser both electrocute you, so teammates should be ready to use Sacred Charms.
• Twisters always rotate the same direction:
  • Inside - clockwise
  • Middle - counter-clockwise
  • Outside - clockwise
• Use this to position yourself either left or right of the blue cone attack so you don't get caught off guard when the twisters come out.

Description

• Right arm hits the ground → 3 blue cone telegraphs explode.
• Left arm hits the ground → twisters emerge from where the explosion happened.
• Twisters electrocute you, so teammates should be ready to use Sacred Charms.
• Twisters always rotate the same direction (opposite from x475 Twisters):
  • Inside - counter-clockwise
  • Middle - clockwise
  • Outside - counter-clockwise
• While this happens, Mordum will repeatedly slam the ground and divide the arena in random color pizza slices:
  • Blue
  • Red
  • Yellow
• Stand in the same pizza slice as your color charge to avoid damage and Electricity Gauge.
• Avoid the yellow slice as that will give you a lot of Electricity Gauge as well.

Telegraph

1. The boss opens up the ground on both sides and pulls out 2 yellow orbs that he holds above the ground.

Description

• The arena begins to shrink quickly.
• The 2 yellow orbs explode not long after and split into many smaller ones that dash across the screen.
  • Players should spacebar through these when they approach, otherwise you get electrocuted.
  • Be ready to use Sacred Charms to help out.
• As the arena shrinks Mordum will fire a large laser at someone.
• Everyone group up and position yourself at the very edge of the safe zone.
• Pay attention to the lasers telegraph as it expands from inside to the outer edges of the rectangle.
• When it has fully expanded the boss has locked-in his attack, and you're free to move to the opposite side of the safe spot.
  • Don't run out of it before it has started to disappear!

• Start running in the opposite side of the laser along the arena.
  • Inside lane deals a lot of tick damage.
  • Inner/Outer lane has a clockwise rotating orb in it that slowly moves across (these stun you).
  • The chasing laser is auto-death, can't timestop or hyper awaken through it.
• If you're experienced, and you trust your supports, you can stay inside lane and DR/Shield through this for DPS.
• You must grab a series of orbs on the ground matching your charge color: red/blue by touching them.
• Simultaneously, yellow donut shaped attacks will strike the middle/outer arena stage 4 times, dodge accordingly.
• Then 2 red/blue donut attacks to close out the mechanic.
  • Stand in the lane that matches your charge.
• Tip: If your teammate gets knocked down by the yellow donut, make sure to Sacred Charm/cleanse him, as he won't be able to use his get-up since he will be electrocuted while on the ground and die to the chasing laser as a result.

1. Mordum concentrates electricity in his right arm and smashes it to the ground, then does the same with his left arm.

Description

• Right arm hits the ground → 3 blue cone telegraphs explode.
• Left arm hits the ground → balls emerge from where the explosion happened.
• Balls will periodically shoot lasers out of them in a straight line,
• Since the balls and the laser both electrocute, teammates should be ready to use Sacred Charms.
• Balls always rotate the same direction:
  • Inside - clockwise
  • Middle - safe
  • Outside - clockwise
• While this happens, Mordum will repeatedly slam the ground and divide the arena in random color pizza slices:
  • Blue
  • Red
  • Yellow
• Stand in the same pizza slice as your color charge to avoid damage and Electricity Gauge.
• Avoid the yellow slice as that will give you a lot of Electricity Gauge as well.

1. Mordum's hands start glowing and a stagger bar appears.

Orb Break

• A yellow ball will spawn on the field.
• 3 random players will gain a yellow puddle below their feet, avoid touching your teammates with this!
  • They disappear once the orb is broken.
• Simultaneously, one player will be marked with a crossed hammer symbol on his character and a debuff above his mana bar.
• This player must stand in front of the yellow ball and bait Mordum's attack onto the orb, before dashing out.
  • When Mordum raises his upper body is when you dodge!
• Make sure to not finish the stagger before the ball is broken.
• Once the ball is broken, finish the stagger and a cutscene will happen.

1st Duel

• Same player who was marked for the orb break must move to the quadrant marked with 1 dot on the mini-map.
• Stand in this area and await the attacks so you can Just Guard them.
  • Even though there is a marked location within the quadrant, the whole quadrant works for the guard.
• You must succeed Just Guard 2x in a row.
  • Each successful Just Guard does 2 billion damage.
• If the Destruction Gauge is still active, use a Corrosive Bomb and Sidereal: Balthor when Mordum completes his 2nd Just Guard.
• If Mordum has already been destroyed at this point, then use Sidereal: Bastian instead.
• He will proceed to break this quadrant shortly after and the Grappling Hook will become available on the sides.

  • Don't panic as he stops between each phase so it's easy to tell apart.
• When the hammer is at the very back and is surrounded by massive yellow orb → counter.

Telegraph

Description

• After the text box appears, a large red circle telegraph spawns an anvil in front of Mordum.
  • If anyone is hit by the telegraph, it's instant death.
• Shortly after, he uses his right arm to smash the anvil 3 times in and requests Just Guards.

• First two Just Guards are back to back, the 3rd has a slight delay.
• Everyone has to succeed all 3 Just Guards to complete the mechanic.
• If someone fails to Just Guard they get stunned, teammates should cleanse them, because Mordum will do up to 3 follow-up Just Guards depending on how many players failed.

• This attack needs to be Just Guarded at the moment of the impact.
  • You must aim your cursor at the boss for these guards!

Hyper Awakening (Progression friendly)

• Use your hyper awakening the exact moment Mordum raises his right arm and tries to go for the first anvil hit.
• If everyone does this, then this mechanic cannot be failed and is advised in 1st/2nd week progression runs.

  • If this occurs, simply tank the incoming DMG and do not take the Grappling Hook.
  • There is a high chance Mordum will do the slow moving tracking laser after this mechanic, where Grappling Hook is needed, so if you use it during the pizza slices you'll die to the laser with no outplay potential.
• There are no static fields this time, instead random players get lightning puddles that they need to place outside.

Telegraph

1. Mordum's hands start glowing and a stagger bar appears.

Description

Happens 1minute 40seconds after the 3rd Stage Break.

• Check x375 - #1 Duel Break for reference, as the mechanic exactly the same.
• Check if you have the mark debuff → bait orb attack.
• Just Guard happens in the tile you're standing, as it's the only one left.
• You must Just Guard 3 times now.
• Two possible strategies when Just Guarding:

Hidden Balthor

• To utilize Hidden Balthor, the marked player responsible for Just Guarding must fail the 3rd guard.
• Then use Sidereal: Balthor, cast it when Mordum lifts both of his arms above his head while holding the hammer.
• When the 3rd guard is failed, Mordum will slam the ground with a massive AoE attack, to avoid it either:
  • Push immune
  • Take Grappling Hook (timing is after 2nd completed guard).

Complete Just Guards → Shandi

• If the raid damage is extremely high and the boss is around x20 HP when the Just Guard starts, simply complete all 3 guards and use Sidereal: Shandi to push x0 as soon as possible (less risky, but requires insane dps).

Description

• After reaching x0 a cutscene happens, you are transported to a new arena with a massive sphere in the center.
• Various telegraphed attacks will try to hinder you from damaging the sphere.
• Red/Blue orbs will fly towards the center, if absorbed, granting the sphere bonus damage against you.
  • Gather the colored orbs with your matching color and DPS the boss.
• When the sphere is:
• Yellow → everyone can attack.
• Red → red attack.
  • If blue attack during this, they will receive somewhat insignificant dot damage.
• Thankfully, a Polarity Field spawns on players quite often, so utilize it to swap to red if needed.
• Use Sidereal: Bastian and re-cast as soon as you have 4 bars and continue until the shield is depleted.
