Tank Positioning: The tanks should engage the Giant Bear in the center of the arena, while secondary and tertiary tanks stay positioned behind the bear to avoid its swipe attacks. The rest of the raid should attack from range. It is crucial to stay away from the bear’s frontal cone swipe attack, short area-of-effect stomp attack, and longer-range wind-up area-of-effect slam attack. Melee players should be cautious and avoid participating in this fight due to the bear’s attacks.
Charge Attack Phase: At approximately every 25% of the Giant Bear’s health, it will perform an arena-wide stomp, causing players to be briefly stunned. Following this stomp, the bear initiates a wind-up charge attack. Once fully charged, the bear charges forward in a straight line, hitting all players along its path. Players must dodge this attack to avoid damage. With each subsequent 25% health threshold, the bear adds an additional charge attack, increasing the frequency. If all players successfully dodge the charge attacks, the bear will hit the wall and become stunned, allowing for increased damage due to its reduced defense.
Healing Manstones: After the charge attack sequence is completed, the Giant Bear will release Healing Manstones. Players can channel these stones to activate radial healing waves that restore health to nearby players. It is important to take advantage of this healing opportunity. Continue cycling through the non-charging and charging phases until you successfully defeat the Giant Bear.
Tips
- It is advisable to avoid bringing melee characters to the fight, as the Giant Bear possesses three short-range area-of-effect attacks. Ranged units are more suitable for this battle.
- During this stun phase, it is recommended to utilize Artifact skills to maximize damage output. However, if players get hit by the charge attack, the bear becomes frenzied and continuously casts rend at players.
