For more set related information, check out the Gear Set Guide.

After clearing the dungeon, you can pay gold to get additional loot. The recommended Combat Items are HP Potion, Panacea, Sacred Charm and Dark Grenade or Whirlwind Grenade.

This is the first Legion Raid which allows the usage of Sidereal skills to deal additional damage or to provide protection. On top of that, you can claim the Phase 1 rewards after clearing and continue at a later time with Phase 2 and new party members. Since this is the first Legion Raid, you have to put in more effort and coordination to survive.

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

It is important to make sure that everyone in the raid group is aware of the boss and coop mechanics. Additionally, item level is not as significant as having good Engravings and Combat Stat distribution as these provide the most damage increase which shorten the duration of the battle. A shorter battle leads to less damage taken and less consumable used.

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

If you have cleared Phase 1, follow the Valtan Phase 2 Guide, to clear the next Phase.

Cheat Sheet

Main Patterns

Mist Phase

This pattern can appear between the Invader and Orb Phase pattern, if your raid deals average damage. This pattern lasts until you reduce the HP to trigger the next Orb Phase. During the Mist Phase, the players can get a stacking dark debuff which imprisons the player upon reaching 5 stacks. The imprisonment can be lifted by the other players.

Orb Phase

The Orb Phase starts at x30 and x15 HP. For this particular pattern, you need to assign a number(yellow) to each of the 8 players before the fight starts, so that they can go to the positions(blue) shown below at the start of this pattern. Once the pattern starts, a blue or a red orb spawns from each of the portals and starts chasing the closest player. The players need to consume the orbs in the recommended order shown below. Shortly after you succeed the x15 HP Orb Phase, the Wolf cast multiple waves of explosions. To avoid getting hit, either dodge towards the edge after the first explosion or move to the safe spot at the southern edge of the map.

If the same colored orbs got consumed in a row, the boss wipes the raid. The easiest way to prevent this is to pay attention to the player behind you with the lower number and to consume the orb assigned to you as soon as that player consumed their orb. While waiting for your turn to consume the orb, run clock wise to prevent any collision with other players or the environment. Additionally, if a player consumes 2 orbs, he dies.

On top of that, you have to succeed a stagger check to prevent a raid wipe. Once a player consumed an Orb, he needs to start using skills and Combat Items(Whirlwind Grenade) with Stagger Damage on the boss to deplete the stagger bar. For this purpose, it is important to let classes with higher Stagger Damage consume the orbs first by assigning them a lower number. But be aware, that each properly consumed Orb applies a debuff to the boss, which increases the Stagger Damage taken. So holding on to Whirlwind Grenade until the players consumed at least 4 Orbs and throwing it afterwards, increases the efficiency of it.

There are 2 methods to clear this stagger check. First method is to rotate properly and consume the Orbs in the correct order and stagger the boss on time. If you succeed, you can use Thirian Sidereal Skill afterwards to deal high damage to the boss. But this method might be difficult for a group of random players or a group with low Stagger Damage.

The second and easiest method is to assign the raid lead the position number 1 and let him use the Wei Sidereal Skill on the boss after he consumes the orb assigned to him. This reduces the stagger bar of the boss by a lot. In this case, only the first 4 players need to consume their Orbs in order, and the other 4 should keep running clockwise until the orbs chasing them disappear.

General Patterns

The Blue, Red and Purple Wolf have their own unique patterns. But the Purple Wolf has access to the patterns of the other two. Below, you can find the unique and shared patterns of each wolf.

Bleed Slash (Red)

Bleed Slash

Most of the Red Wolf's attacks apply a stacking bleed debuff to the player. Upon reaching 3 stacks, the bleed disappears and summons a huge Bleed Slash on top of the player, which deals high damage and has a high chance to hit other players. Prevent reaching 3 bleed stacks by avoiding a hit until the bleed timer runs out, or by using cleansing skills or Combat Items like Panacea or Sacred Charm.
