4 Man AoD

4-Man AoD

Introduction

This is a guide for 4-man Nex: Angel of Death. It is assumed that you know how to deal with mechanics in 7-man AoD, described in #AoD Mechanics.

Due to the meta heavily favouring ranged at the time of writing, this guide will assume that the team consists of ranged mt's / free. The base can either mage or hybrid.

These rotations can consistently reaver skip if executed correctly.

Preset Suggestion & Breakdown

⬥ MT / Free ⬥ Base

Note: If the base is uncomfortable on food, they can reaver and a dps kalg instead.

Mechanics

Dealing with mechanics in 4-man AoD is slightly different to how they are dealt with in 7-mans. The following summarizes the major mechanics of the fight and how to deal with them.

Phase 1 (3,000,000 - 2,100,000 HP)

⬥ Elements

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Quadrant with elements:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ Tank it as you would in larger teams.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Quadrant with reavers:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ Throw sticky bombs at the reavers until AoD hits her phase hp.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ Sticky bombs last 6s / 10t.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ Before getting bound by consecutive sticky bombs, the reaver will always walk at least 1 tile.

Note: fast teams should not require sticky bombs.

Phase 2 (2,100,000 - 1,800,000 HP)

Handle mechanics exactly the same as in Phase 1.

Phase 3 (1,800,000 - 600,000 HP)

⬥ Smoke Pool

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• All tanked pools taken deal 14k damage spread evenly among the people inside.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Free dps is to tank the first pool making use of a vitality potion

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• The other pools have to be tanked by at least 2 people both with >7k hp.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• If minions are still alive it is preferred to not have MTs take the pools as it will relocate minions.

⬥ Ice

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• If the free dps gets iced they need to be freed as their powerburst will be on cooldown.

⬥ All other mechanics work the same as in 7s.

Minion Lure

To lure the minions using 2 minion tanks (UG tank and CF tank) players need to do the movement correctly. The movement outlined below allows for DPSers to have for first pillar.
