Boss Orcish Warlord Walkthrough Guide

Start with Gigaflare

Gigaflare will be the main source of damage, and it has a low cooldown among ultimate abilities, so use it first.

Determine Attack By Location Warlord Teleports

Determine to use melee attack or ranged attack depending on where Warlord teleports. Melee attack can be avoided by moving right and behind, and ranged attack can be avoided by evading at the right time.

Keep Distance Once Warlord Starts Charging Attack

Once Warlord started charging attack, quickly take distance. Arpoximitly 3 dodge to get out of attack range.

Use Megaflare Dodge to activate Megaflare If Possible

Generally, play safe but if possible, evade it with Megaflare Dodge while charging Feat. It deals decent damage even with level 1.

Use Gigaflare Once It Is Charged Up

Just Normal Attack and Flare Breath will be hard to Staggered multiple times and is hard to deal meaningful damage increase while staggered. Utilizing low cooldown and using Gigaflare on cooldown will deal most damage over time.

Flare Breath is used only Staggered

Flare Breath is vulnerable during the attack, and it does not deal enough damage when you're also dodging the attack. So to deal consistent damage safely, use while Warlord is Staggered.
