general notes
- it is surprisingly easy to greed beeline/tempting twist as healer
- it is surprisingly easy to greed centerstage/outerstage combo as healer
- the tank needs quite a bit of help during towers in beat 1 and during the line AOE spam in alarm 1
- if you use lightspeed for alarm 1, it will not be up for beat 2
- you CANNOT greed as healer if you have 0 hearts during beat 2. it may be just barely possible on faster GCDs, though.
- it is surprisingly easy to slidecast everything during beat 3
- the call me honey raidwides are far more painful than the rotten heart debuffs touching
- it is better to not have the rotten heart pairs stack in the middle than to have them stack late—1 death and 1 paralysis vs. guaranteed raid wipe
alarm 1
it’s possible, albeit very difficult, to slidecast the entire mechanic. AST gets the real short end of the stick—and so does SCH if you’re the type of person that would rather die or drop uptime than use broil 2—since i do not advise using lightspeed for this mechanic. if you use lightspeed for alarm 1, it will not be up for beat 2. if you do not have lightspeed for beat 2, there is no way for you to cast anything if you get 0 hearts. the puddles you drop are simply too fast for you to slidecast through.
there’s no real consistent way to get alarm 1 to play nice. you really just have to spam the mechanic and put enough runs in to where you just git gud at dodging all of the lines.
