Four Leg Form



Two Leg Form


[edit]
Proto-Omega

Proto-Omega has about 26000 HP.

• It is immune to Gravity, Bind, Dispel, and Blind.
• It is susceptible to Slow, Paralyze, Elegy, Requiem, Threnody, Finale, and Stun.
• It seems to take the most damage from Blizzard nukes (~618), but Thunder is also good (~581).
• It is highly resistant to Dark.
• It is not affected by CCB Polymer Pumps.

Proto-Omega periodically switches between two stances, shown at right.

• It starts out on four legs and switches stances every two minutes after first aggro.
• On four legs he is extremely resistant to physical damage, and nukes hit for about 70% damage.
  • Melee attacks do ~200 damage, sometimes with additional effect Stun.
  • Suggested strategy: Tank with Ninja or kite.
  • Just free stun in this form, no stunnable attacks.
• On two legs he is vulnerable to physical damage, and nukes hit for about 10% damage.
  • Melee attacks do ~500 damage.
  • Suggested strategy: Kite or tank with Paladin.
  • If you try to stun everything in this form, you'll probably just stun Stun Cannon and Floodlight, which works out well.
• At 25% HP he switches into his final form, which looks the same as the two legs form, but is significantly different.
  • Melee attacks do ~600 damage.
  • The final form takes 50% damage from both physical and magical attacks.
  • The final form spams special attacks (Pod Ejection, Colossal Blow and Laser Shower).
  • Suggested strategy: Kite.

Special Attacks:

• Four Leg Form:
  • Guided Missile: Targeted 10'(?) AoE ~400-750 physical damage, absorbed by Utsusemi (4 sec to use)
  • Ion Efflux: Cone Attack Paralysis (4 sec to use)
  • Target Analysis: 10'(?) AoE Absorb-ALL, absorbed by Utsusemi (4 sec to use)
  • Pile Pitch: Massive damage, hate reset and Bind (30 sec), ignores Utsusemi (90% of current HP, reduced by -physical damage gear) (4 sec to use)
  • Rear Lasers: Damage and Petrification, used when someone behind Omega gets hate

• Two Leg Form:
  • Sometimes uses Pod Ejection while switching into two leg form.
  • Guided Missile II: Targeted 15'(?) AoE ~475 magic damage, IGNORES Utsusemi (5 sec to use)
  • Hyper Pulse: 20' AoE ~300 magic damage, Gravity (60 sec) and short Bind (6 sec), wipes Utsusemi (4 sec to use)
  • Stun Cannon: Targeted 20'(?) AoE ~300 magic damage and Paralysis, ignores Utsusemi (6 sec to use)
  • Floodlight: Targeted 15'(?) AoE ~300 magic damage, Flash (10 sec), Blind (35 sec) and Silence, ignores Utsusemi (6 sec to use)
• Final Form (two legs):
  • Pod Ejection: Spawn a Gunpod (3 sec to use)
    • The Gunpods have about 2000 HP, so two Tier IV nukes or Spirits Withins should knock them out. Kill them ASAP, they hit hard.
    • They drop one of the following: 6 Ancient Beastcoins, an AF+1 material, one of the chips you used to enter the battle, or a synthesis material.
  • Colossal Blow: Massive damage, knockback and hate reset, ignores Utsusemi (4 seconds to use)
  • Laser Shower: Cone Attack ~150-900 damage (6 seconds to use)
    • Damage is reduced by kiting; this seems to follow the same rules as Wyrm breath.

When Proto-Omega is defeated the final Armoury Crate appears in the middle of the arena. It contains 5 Ancient Beastcoins and 2-3 Omega body parts.
Don't be in too much of a hurry to kill Proto-Omega; the more Gunpods it spawns, the more loot you can get from them. If you can survive the final form for a while, it's best to keep kiting it around farming Gunpods until you're almost out of time.
