Kakul-Saydon Gate 1 Introduction

While Kakul-Saydon is the name of this Legion Raid, Gate 1 focuses primarily on a fight with Saydon. Kakul appears in the fight, but as a sidekick. Some patterns Kakul-Saydon uses here, he also uses in Gate 3. Like Vykas, you have something called Madness Meter. It doesn't have too much of an importance until Gate 3. Complete the required mechanics and Gate 1 should be simple. Easy peasy.

The recommended Combat Items are Whirlwind GrenadeSwiftness Robe, Sacred Bomb and your choice of health potion.

Disclaimer: In this guide, we will only focus on the important core & general patterns of the boss. Basic attacks of Saydon which are easy to predict or deal low damage, won't be explained in detail.

This guide assumes that you are familiar with the recommended Raid Build for your class.

Raid Mechanics

Raid mechanics cover the passive mechanics that are persistent through the entire raid.

Madness Meter
Sidereal - Nineveh
Sidereal - Innana

The Madness Meter is a bar shown under each player's character. It fills up when hit by Kakul-Saydon's attacks.

Depending on which percentage your bar is, certain events occur.
0% = Nothing.
50% = Upon hitting 50%, a cross laser will shoot out from you. These can hit teammates and fill up their meter. Any pattern that hits you while you have over 50% meter will cause the cross laser to shoot out.
At 100% = You get turned into the clown's puppet. The boss gains an armor buff, reducing damage taken by 3% per stack. You gain access to 3 skills, Q, W, and E, detailed below.
