Rotations
⬥ This guide serves as a baseline and rotations may change depending on adren from critbuff and teams speed.
Wars
Phase 1
rezk spec + smokecloud → sunshine + adrenrenewal → gsonic → gconc → fsoa spec → tsunami → (autocast exsanguinate) asphyx + runic_charge → wm → powerburstofvitality + gconc → omni → wm → roarofawakening spec → gconc → wm → reflect → smoketendrils → asphyx → (gconc) → wm + voke
Phase 2 and 3
Gorilla: icebarrage + vulnbomb → smokecloud
East Crocodile: combustlunging → runic_charge + dbreath → enter portal
Chain Warden: gconc → omni / wm → prismofsalvation → leave portal → kerapacswristwraps dbreath → icebarrage the croc → surge + bd → surge to statue and reflect
West Crocodile: kerapacswristwraps gconc → dbreath → combustlunging → gconc → gsonic → improvise
Amascut
meteorstrike → sadaptivestrike → berserk → barge → swh eofspec → overpower → bloodlust assault → rend → tumekenslight bloodlust cane (position to hit stray dogs) → gfury → overpower → chaosroar → ezk spec → pulverise → rend → overpower → adaptivestrike → (gsonic / gsunshine / gconc / tsunami / fsoa spec / adrenrenewal, the order of abilities depends on when adrenrenewal comes off cd) → asphyx → runic_charge + (wm) → gconc → omni → wm → reflect
Notes:
⬥ Use powerburstofvitality or reflect or both if you get the 2nd flurry
⬥ Use immort after omni if BTK skips aren't consistent then build to cade
⬥ Utilise stalling and releasing around 5.4M boss HP to avoid nulled damage.
⬥ If scarabs mostly skipped: gchaincaroming → stun and kill them.
Phase 4
This phase varies by base and team, on master teams it's best to help one side on gorilla with ent → roarofawakening spec → combustlunging → kerapacswristwraps dbreath then immediately kill 4-5 scarabs and throw 3 in your side's portal and 1-2 in the other portal (communicate with the team) then use reflect to midigate damage from exploding scarabs, utilise prismofsalvation / surgemobile / divemobile / gchaincaroming to handle dogs and click both portals, can use ent to get one dog stuck per side for the in roles to get their prebuild as they deposit the light.
Amascut
Start with at least 2 bloodlust stack meteorstrike → sadaptivestrike → berserk → gbarge → swh eofspec → overpower → bloodlust gflurry → chaosroar → ezk spec → punish → overpower → (3t) bloodlust assault → varanussmercy eofspec → bloodlust cane → overpower
Phase 5
Around the time both solo charges are done and both middle fragments are at 50%, prepare with: meteorstrike → adaptivestrike → berserk
As Tumeken's reform starts, move next to Tumeken and wait till 'GET OUT OF MY WAY' → (tumekenslight spec) → cane → (cane) → overpower → ezk spec → assault → gfury → overpower → punish → improvise
Notes:
⬥ It's important for G1/G2 not to move in front of the boss, until the last interceptor has moved back into charging position, this allows for continuous charging for the fastest phase time and skipping 1 jump.
⬥ All other charging roles need to swap positions with max 1t delay as well for the perfect charge.
⬥ Click middle when charge is 1t off, filled or 1t after filled on the same tick that the green lines appear on the floor.

Phase 6
meteorstrike → sadaptivestrike → berserk → tc core gbarge → overpower
Non Jump
bloodlust assault → cane → adaptivestrike → naturalinstinct → amascuthead + swh eof → adaptivestrike → pulverise → meleebasic
Jumper
overpower → gfury → surge + dive → tc + bloodlust cane → tc + pulverise → click + overpower → click + chaosroar → bloodlust assault → click Tumeken
Note: for TC to work while jumping you need to set your target cycle to max weapon distance, otherwise just click all the mages instead for a 1-2t slower jump.
Clones
gsonic → gsunshine + adrenrenewal → gconc + powerburstofvitality → gchaincaroming → tsunami → runic_charge + dbreath → fsoa spec → rubyaurora + asphyx → gconc → omnipowerigneous → wm → improvise → on last tick meteorstrike
Phase 7
berserk → tc + gbarge → gflurry → overpower → rend → handle p7 mechanic → chaosroar → ezk spec → cane → improvise if still not dead
