Pallas Fight

The Pallas encounter is a challenging boss fight that demands precise execution and understanding of its mechanics. Located within the Artificial Island's Ruins, Pallas is a formidable opponent with distinct phases and attack patterns. Mastery of dodging, elemental weaknesses, and strategic weapon swapping will be key to your success.

Recommended Team Composition & Preparation

  • Elemental Advantage: Pallas is highly susceptible to Flame and Volt damage. Prioritize weapons with these elements. Strong choices include King's Scythe of the Crow (Flame), Huma's Molten Shield V2 (Flame), Samir's Dual EM Stars (Volt), and Nemesis' Venus (Volt).
  • Role Distribution: A balanced team typically includes 1-2 DPS, 1 Tank, and 1 Healer. For Pallas, a strong DPS focus with good sustain is often preferred.
  • Weapon Resonance: Aim for a Damage Resonance (2 DPS weapons) or Balance Resonance (1 of each role) for optimal performance.
  • Relics: Essential relics include the Couant for shield breaking and additional damage, and the Spacetime Rift for crowd control and damage amplification. The Omnium Shield can provide crucial defensive utility during high-damage phases.
  • Food Buffs: Consume high-tier attack-boosting food like Fiddlehead Pie (+Volt Attack) or Sizzling Meat (+Flame Attack) before initiating the fight.

Phase 1: Initial Engagement & Shield Break

Pallas begins with a substantial shield, indicated by a blue bar below its HP. Your primary objective in this phase is to break this shield as quickly as possible to trigger a vulnerability window.

  1. Opening Moves: Pallas will typically open with a sweeping claw attack or a ground slam. These are telegraphed and can be dodged for a perfect dodge, granting a brief slowdown and a chance for burst damage.
  2. Shield Breaking: Utilize high-shatter weapons like King's Scythe of the Crow or Huma's Molten Shield V2. Activate your Couant relic as soon as the fight starts to contribute significant shield damage.
  3. "Energy Surge" Attack: Pallas will occasionally charge up, glowing red, before unleashing a wide-area energy pulse. This attack deals heavy damage. Use the Omnium Shield if you cannot dodge out of range, or perform a perfect dodge through the pulse.
  4. Vulnerability Window: Once Pallas's shield is broken, it will be stunned for a short duration, taking increased damage. This is your cue to unleash all your high-damage abilities and weapon skills, especially those with Flame or Volt elements.

Phase 2: Enraged State & Projectile Barrage

After recovering from the initial shield break, Pallas enters a more aggressive state, introducing new attacks and increased damage output.

  1. "Plasma Orb" Attack: Pallas will frequently launch multiple slow-moving plasma orbs that track players. These can be dodged or destroyed with ranged attacks. Prioritize destroying them if they threaten your healer or ranged DPS.
  2. "Ground Pound" Combo: Pallas will perform a series of powerful ground pounds, creating shockwaves. The final pound in the sequence often has a larger radius. Dodge *into* the attack for a perfect dodge, or dodge away from the impact zone.
  3. Strategic Relic Usage: Deploy Spacetime Rift during Pallas's vulnerability windows or when it's grouped with any summoned adds (though Pallas typically fights alone). This will maximize your team's damage.
  4. Maintaining Distance: Ranged DPS characters should try to maintain a safe distance while continuously applying pressure. Melee characters should focus on hit-and-run tactics, utilizing perfect dodges to reposition and deal damage.

Phase 3: Final Stand & Desperation Attacks

As Pallas's health drops below 30-40%, it will become even more frantic, often chaining attacks and increasing their frequency.

  1. "Berserk Roar": Pallas may periodically let out a roar that applies a temporary debuff, reducing your attack or defense. Be prepared to use healing or defensive abilities to mitigate this.
  2. Increased Attack Speed: Expect Pallas's attack animations to be faster and more difficult to react to. Focus on anticipating its movements rather than reacting to them.
  3. Prioritize Survival: At this stage, survival becomes paramount. Don't be afraid to disengage briefly to heal or allow your cooldowns to reset. Use your Omnium Shield proactively if you anticipate a heavy incoming attack.
  4. Final Push: Coordinate with your team to unleash all remaining powerful skills and discharges. If you have any remaining Couant charges, use them for the final burst.

General Tips for Success

  • Communication: In a team setting, clear communication about shield breaks, incoming attacks, and relic usage is crucial.
  • Stamina Management: Conserve your stamina for crucial dodges. Avoid unnecessary dashing.
  • Weapon Swapping: Master the art of weapon swapping to maximize your damage and utility. Swap to your high-shatter weapon for shield breaking, then to your high-damage weapon for the vulnerability phase.
  • Learn Attack Patterns: Spend some time observing Pallas's attacks. Each attack has a distinct tell that, once learned, makes perfect dodging much easier.
