The Red Side Hamidon Raid Plan
Overview
The Hamidon Raid consists of many moving parts to be successful. Coordination and teamwork are the utmost importance. I know as villains we are used to working alone. However this task can not be accomplished by any of us alone. We will have to work together to get our loot. 53 Merits or a Shiny Hamidon Enhancement.
Hamidon is a beast of multiple parts. He, she, it has many built in protections and defenses to prevent what we are going to do. Here is the basics on each part.
Yellow Mitos (Mitochondria Antibodies) - Hamidon has 6 of these on its outer most layer. These mitos are very dangerous and toss out extreme AOE damage. They are susceptible to Melee Damage. Basically punch it in the mouth were ever that is.
Blue Mitos (Mitochondria Electronite) - Hamidon has 6 of these In between the Yellow Mitos and Hamidon itself. These mitos do minimal damage but cast Chain Lightening that does damage, End Drains, causes fear and will jump from player to player. On top of that do not get to close to the Blue Mitos as it has a field of End Drain and Fear. Single Target Ranged Attacks work best on the Blue Mitos.
Green Mitos (Mending Mitochondria) - Hamidon has 6 of these and they are fairly close to Hamidon itself. The Green Mitos will heal the nearest Mito thats damaged, has its own shield and does a small amount of toxic damage that will reduce healing powers. 2 shots of this power can make healing impossible. Attacks that hold are the best for this Mito. Stacking a total of Mag 50 on the Green Mito will drop its shield and at that point it is susceptible to all attacks.
Hamidon - (Hamidon) - Hamidon is hard to kill. He tosses out an AoE Attack that does massive damage that also has a -heal component to it. Once the Mitos have been eliminated We can attack Hamidon. However he will respawn Mitos at 75%, 50%, and 25%. More or less we have to eliminate the 18 mitos 4 times to complete the raid.
How are we going to do this?
The Teams
Yellow Aggro - 6 Brutes 2 Corruptors (Pains Kins)
Yellow Damage - 8 Melee Damage Characters
Green Team Hold 6 Dominators 2 Corruptors
Green Team Damage 8 Corruptors
Blue Team Distraction 6 MM's
Hammi Aggro 2 Brutes 4 Corruptors (Pain Kins).
The Jobs
Yellow Aggro - This team will engage the Yellow Mitos and distract them from firing on the other teams. The Brutes can do this with either taunt or Punching it in the face.
Yellow Damage - This team will defeat the yellow Mitos systematically as a group. They will work Clockwise from Mito 1 all the way around to Mito 6.
Green Hold - This team will include the Green Targeter. They will pick a Green Mito Preferbly Starting Closest to the Hammi Aggro Brute. They will work together Stacking their Holds to break the Green Mito Shield.
Green Damage - This team will follow the Green Hold Team and drop as much damage and holds as possible on their target. Once the Green Hold Team locks down the Green Mito, the Damage team should eliminate the Mito very quickly.
Blue Distraction - This team will consist of 6 MM's spread around Hami behind rocks. They will send their pets to attack each Blue Mito to Keep them distracted. In turn the damage the Blue Mito will be taking will force the Green Mito to focus their healing on the Blues. This will allow the Green And Yellow Teams an easier time to get their work done.
At's not mentioned - Everyone is welcome at the raid and we will find a spot for every AT.
Additional Support - I encourage everyone to bring a Bio Nukes. These Nukes we will use before entering the Goo to give us some extra buffs to start off with. If you have EoE's bring them.
EoE's - These are inspirations that will nullify a large portion of Hamidon Damage. The work with the AT modifiers. Brutes get 90% Resistance, VEAT's get 85% Resistance and everyone else gets 75% resistance. We aquire these before the raid and while setting Hamidon up to Spawn.
Setting the Stage
When we arrive in the Abyss we will gather on the docks and platform at the entrance to the zone. We will have team Leaders recruiting members and some instructions given. Once we are set and are at the raid start time we will start clearing Monsters to spawn Hamidon. Once we do so we will all gather on the staging Area. At this time its critical to watch the Request chat as that is were instructions will be given. Here is what will be in request.
Welcome to the Villain Hamidon encounter. For the uninitiated I will give a quick briefing. Please turn on Request channel at this time for instructions and reserve its use for raid leaders.
The Raid now consists of several teams, each combating a different type of Mito, as they require different approaches. Please report to the team leader that best suits your archetype.
The Yellow Mitos are best fought with melee damage. These require 2 separate teams, one being Brutes who will Hold Aggro, and the second a group of Melee Damagers to defeat them.
Green Mitos heal the other Mitos. They have a forcefield and must be held before they can be damaged. It is vital that they be taken out quickly, so anyone with a hold, or un teamed please assist the leader of the Green Team
Blue Mitos are best effected by ranged damage. In melee range, they attack with terrify, end drain, and chain lightning. Masterminds will distract the Blue Mitos and in turn keep the Green Mitos Busy.
Lastly, there is the Aggro Team, which is a Brute Taunting Hami and the support of some Pains and Kins. Please keep your distance from this team as Hami's AoE fire is deadly and drawing Mito fire down on them could spell doom.
When we are set to storm the goo, gather together to stack buffs and I will issue a 1 minute countdown. Please buff everyone you can, and fire off AoE buffs at 25 seconds. I will Directly call for Bio Nukes by Character Name. At 20 seconds, Brutes will charge to their targets.
At 0, it's all teams to their targets. Follow your leaders, work as a group, and dont try to solo Mitos. Cooperation is key. When your team has defeated its set of Mitos move on to assist another team.
When all Mitos have been defeated we will attack Hami. He will respawn Mitos at 75 %, 50%, and 25% health. I will give a call for anyone with TP to exit the goo to get those of us out that get caught in the bloom. After the bloom we will regroup and start again.
Once we finish the last bloom we will finish up Hamidon. Please be aware the Abyss has a tendency to crash on Hammi Defeat. Heading to Ouroboros right after the raid completion is a good idea.
That about sums it up. Any questions, suggestions or thoughts please post them or let me know. I will be posting team specifics in the next few days before the Raid.
I can sympathize with Plas' dilemma. I'm none to happy about the times either, but I also know there's nothing I can do about it.
