Usually people that never constantly solo velganos and prokel on ilvl suck hard for the rest of the game, the simple reason is that they will never learn to take personal responsibility for their actions in raids. You can believe what i say or not, your choice, but usually this is what ends up happening.
I mean, I’ve never in my whole LA career went solo any guardian.
It’s hard to do it with back attackers alone
stay closer to the boss and rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to dodge.
Isn’t velganos is the hard one on that batch ? Yoho become the final boss of the batch now? Where’s velganos now? What is going on ?
We never talk about Velganos…

Yoho just does a lot of chip damage and the boss is bright blue, the fire is blue, the stars are blue and the floor is light gray with a blue hint.
F*** that guardian seriously.
It is the “hardest” but in reality it is just a little deeper with mechanics/dodging which sets you up really well for future endgame content.
It just turns out it is easier to solo than it is to try to do it with 4 people juggling Light Stacks, but this becomes a common trend as we go farther down the Legion Raid hole. For example Vykas is notably easier with less apes, especially prominent in Gate 2.
I was always split on how I felt about Velga, if you had him against the wall pizza didn’t feel great
Simple solution that’s worked well for me, just avoid playing with a support and your brain will be more inclined to automatically memorize each attack indicator due to increased danger and your response in dodging it will become a habit after doing the content 10+ times. The ability to have supports in your party is why people view it as a waste of effort to memorize them all, so get rid of them if you’d like to force your brain to learn
Many of us did multiple months of Yoho with 6+ characters daily as there was nothing else to do beside Argoses so people got pretty good of reading the skillset of the boss.
If Yoho is a challenge guardian I feel like coming home.

Watch videos on the normal attack patterns if they exist, otherwise repetition to learn the patterns.
Then attack the boss only when you know what it’s doing, otherwise hold and observe, do some hit and run tactics to limit test and eventually you’ll start doing full combos and rotations smoothly as the pattern recognition becomes more muscle-memory.
Don’t greed dps and just mindlessly spam skills, be on constant lookout for visual/sound cues and be ready to reposition. In most cases, you are basically taking turns with the boss to attack. You drop your skills when it’s safe and then you let the boss do their thing while you reposition to safety and repeat.
Recognising attack patterns mainly come from experience. Unless you are just blindly doing runs and don’t care to learn, you will pick up patterns along the way. Like for yoho, any time it’s howling or twirling, you should know to stop and get ready for an attack. When you’ve run the same raid enough times and actively learn the attack patterns, they eventually become muscle memory.
Damn arguing that people need to be on the spectrum in order to memorize boss animations is an excuse for “I’m shit” that I don’t see too often.
Repetitions, if you do it twice a day on 3 characters for a week, your reactions become sharper and muscle memory will help you avoid most of the patterns.
Also what I did was, think of the fight not as a cycle of patterns but a cycle of damage windows, and try to learn what and how much you can do within one window, use 2-3 skills depending on your class and move back automatically, regardless of what the next boss attack is.
Like it or not, but processing tons of visual information in real time is something that not everyone can do equally well.
i remember Yoho being a jail guardian back in the day, everyone complained.
The issue is that she does many attacks that knock you down and they can chain kill you vert easily.
Also player backthen didnt know what stagger and destruction meant, so you would waste so much time on the destruction check.
I loooove Velganos :3
I play characters where I can tank a lot of stuff, like supports, gunlancer or berserker with def card set. You dont need to avoid everything to play succesfully
Do you want the truth? Fine.
Everyone gets hit.
Everyone who says “don’t get hit” is an idiot and they also get hit.
The only way they survive is because they have supports in their party shielding them non stop and healing them, or they are 100 ilvls over the content.

you don’t get hit by running away from her
terrible raid design
it is what it is
get to 1415 and do deskas
she is much more fun
To be honest, even playing this game requires you to be on a spectrum xD
I’m confident most of us are
If you genuinely want to learn the patterns quickly, go into a solo run and just run around the boss watching what it does before each pattern. You don’t even have to fight back, just dodge stuff and pay attention until you get used to recognizing what’s coming. Once you know what you’re looking/listening for, you can figure out where your openings are to deal damage, but those openings will be different with each class.
Most patterns that are ambiguous or just difficult to tell apart have a solution that fits all possibilities, anyway. For example, when Yoho’s about to spin, you can move to a diagonal so they won’t hit you if they appear (don’t have to know whether they’re going to or not). Or when Deskaluda drops bombs, you can move close to him so the follow-up attack will go past you if he does it.
