</nowiki><p><nowiki>⬥ Arch-Glacor can be fought in Normal Mode (NM) or Hard Mode (HM)</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki> • NM can be fought in a group, but HM can only be fought solo</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>⬥ Arch-Glacor's life points vary based on mode and enrage</nowiki></p><br />

</nowiki><h2 id="fight-mechanics"><ins><nowiki>Fight Mechanics</nowiki></ins></h2><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>⬥ Arch-Glacor randomly cycles through the 5 mechanics listed below</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki> • Each mechanic can only occur once per cycle, meaning a mechanic can </nowiki><em><nowiki>only</nowiki></em><nowiki> occur back-to-back if it is the last mechanic of a cycle and the first mechanic of the next</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>⬥ In NM, mechanics can be toggled on or off to learn the fight, except for Creeping Ice</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>⬥ In HM, all mechanics are enabled and enrage increases with every kill, with difficulty increasing too</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki></nowiki></p><br />

<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><strong><nowiki>Mechanic:</nowiki></strong><nowiki> Arch-Glacor primarily uses Magic and Ranged auto-attacks, with stronger style-swapping auto-attacks during </nowiki><strong><nowiki>Flurry</nowiki></strong><nowiki>.</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><strong><nowiki>Solution:</nowiki></strong></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>⬥ Pray against the correct attack style </nowiki>[https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/544195487926845462.png?v=1 <nowiki>deflectmage</nowiki>]<nowiki> </nowiki>[https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/544195488317046812.png?v=1 <nowiki>deflectrange</nowiki>]</p><br />

<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><strong><nowiki>Mechanic:</nowiki></strong><nowiki> Arch-Glacor becomes immune and summons 4 Glacyte minions. Each minion drops an unstable core on death.</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki></nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>At 250%+ HM enrage, a tougher Bolstered Glacyte also spawns (however, if this is the first mechanic in the fight, this Bolstered Glacyte does </nowiki><em><nowiki>not</nowiki></em><nowiki> spawn).</nowiki></p><br />
