RAID OVERVIEW: ARCADE ANARCHY
Patch: 7.x Series
Difficulty: Normal Mode (Savage observations noted)
Boss Count: 4 (+ possible door boss)
Theme: Fighting game tournament Final Fantasy XIV Gil arc with meta-humor and arcade aesthetics

BOSS 1: SWEET-TOOTHED SADIST (VAMP FATAL)
Phase 1: Crowd Pleaser
Mechanics Observed:

Bats Formation: Summons bats that must be jumped over (not destroyed)

Song Mechanics: Interact with musical notes on arena - attack the song itself

Positional Awareness: "She has no position" - indicates untargetable phases

DPS Check: Early raid-wide check that tightens as fight progresses

Key Abilities:

Blood Call: Marks players for follow-up mechanics

Empowered Crystal: Gains stacks based on raid health - likely Savage consideration

Crowd Consumption: Eats audience members to gain power (stack mechanic)

Phase Transition:
"She's doing mechanics while we're doing this" - Simultaneous mechanic execution required

Phase 2: Hardcore Mode
New Mechanics:

Lions on Ground: Persistent arena hazards

Specter Summons: Additional adds with independent mechanics

Tank Busters: "Holy. That was a huge tank buster" - Heavy mitigation required

Penetrating Pitch: Raid-wide with stacking debuff application

Progression Notes:

First boss features unusually challenging mechanics for Normal mode

Multiple DPS checks indicate tight enrage timers for Savage

Music dynamically changes with phase transitions

BOSS 2: BROTHERLY LOVE (TAG TEAM MATCH)
The Brothers Mechanics
Character Dynamic: Two brothers with protective synergy mechanics
Key Lore: "Brother determined to protect the brother in arms and will take a blow for said brother should he be in a tight spot"

Phase 1: Separate Combat
Elemental Affiliation:

Fire Brother: Leaves lava puddles

Water Brother: Creates water zones

Interaction: Lava + Water = Steam Balls (hazard creation)

Core Mechanics:

Cover Mechanic: Brothers will protect each other at low HP

Elemental Debuffs: Getting hit by opposite element applies vulnerability

Position Swap: Brothers trade positions mid-fight

Fusion Tease: Brief moments where brothers appear to fuse

Phase 2: Synced Assault
New Mechanics:

Surfing Attacks: Brother slides across arena with trail

Tag Team Combos: Sequential attacks requiring positioning

Shared Health Pool: In later phases (implied by Savage preview)

Knockback Waves: Created by steam ball explosions

Strategic Notes:

Control arena positioning to manage lava/water placement

Brothers must be brought to low HP simultaneously to prevent Cover mechanic abuse

Positioning crucial as "Nobody's ever getting positionals on this"

BOSS 3: GRAND CHAMPION (TOURNAMENT FINALE)
Arena: Championship Ring
Unique Features: Interactive environment with audience participation elements

Phase Mechanics
Weapon Arsenal System:

Axe Phase: Standard melee attacks with cleaves

Trophy Weapons: Spawns weapons around arena that change mechanics

Ultimate Weapon: Transforms weapon to oversized version with expanded hitboxes

Key Abilities:

Plummet: Newly introduced attack type

Diagonal Strikes: Unconventional attack angles

Tornado Creation: Environment hazard generation

Rock Placement: Meteor-like mechanics requiring strategic positioning

Advanced Mechanics
Leviathan Reference: "This is like Leviathan" - indicates similar tidal/wave mechanics
Knockback Strategy: "You only get knocked if you were in them" - selective knockback usage
Spinning Phases: Extended multi-spin attacks requiring careful resource management

Savage Preview Indicators:

"That means he's going to be way hard" - Normal mode simplification of complex mechanics

Multiple weapon interactions suggest layered mechanics in Savage

Environmental destruction likely plays role in harder difficulties

BOSS 4: THE PRESIDENT (FINAL REVELATION)
Twist: Villain or Hero?
Lore Context: President is a Lindworm (lizard person) with tragic backstory
Motivation: Master plan to get defeated because "his heart is the cure"

Shifting Platforms: Arena divides and reconfigures

Dragon Summons: Multiple dragon adds with independent mechanics

Cell Rupture: Spreading debuffs requiring careful placement

Key Mechanics:

Twisting Safe Spots: Safe zones rotate or invert

Jump Restrictions: "You cannot jump with the brakes" - movement limitation mechanics

Regeneration Puzzle: Boss heals unless specific mechanics solved

Phase 2: Desperation
New Elements:

Dual Dragons: Two simultaneous dragon mechanics

Cancerous Growths: Persistent arena debuffs ("we have cancer on like boulders")

Checkpoint System: "This is a checkpoint boss" - unusual for Normal mode

Platform Selection: "Correct side to land on" - knockback tower choices

Phase 3: Climax
Final Mechanics:

World Watching: Arena opens to audience view

Do or Die Moment: High-intensity final sequence

Regen Puzzle Solution: Likely involves platform interaction

Cinematic Finish cheap FFXIV Gil: Slow-motion knockout punch sequence
