Frequently Asked Questions
[Revolutionary Reign] How do I tell where the boundary of the final AoE is?
Use the previous set of four small AoEs (when the boss first dashes) as a guide. In particular, pay attention to the AoEs on the sides of where the boss will dash- the final AoE's range reaches roughly the same limits as the small AoEs. |
