This boss is a pure cockroach. He sticks to corners and doesn’t go to open spaces until we lure him there. His insane mobility and overwhelming amount of AOE patterns doesn’t make it easy to DPS him in tight corners, especially for entropy classes.
The amount of people I see not giving a flying f**k about Cali being in corners is insane. I always ping to open areas but it seems like not everyone gets it.
People would legit save 1min per run by leveraging better DPS uptimes when luring Cali to open spaces.
Anyways, please add this to Cali etiquette please. Thanks!
Think you’re the one not getting it because he’d just fuck right off to the wall or something immediately after you waste your time waiting for him to come in the open. You clearly haven’t done Calli after one experience of this because whenever gets into a corner/wall, he’d just as naturally run out into the open after some attack on his own. Also no etiquette exists in MM btw which is what it seems like you do, open PF and mention that in your title then.
as already mentioned actively luring him is a complete timewaste, what you do is when he does the flight into fast drop you just run into the open space on everyone so you reset his position, other than that specific one you just hit him whereever he is
probably depends on the fight pacing l guess but not entirely true. on some alts its the difference between 3mil and 4.5mil, other its 5mil vs 7mil. on main where l skip both orb phases most of the time yeah its a dps loss to go far for the orbs but if hes against a wall and the orbs spawn on the wall on top of him its free damage for a couple casts at least
The anger paranoid meth squirrel will find it’s way back into a corner either way. To be fair having him trapped in a corner or passageway is sometimes helpful, he can’t jump around as much.
The problem with Cali isn’t the orb mechanic or the time he spends huddle in a corner…
It’s the time he spends not targetable as he flies into the air over and over again while you stand there and think about how sick and tired you are of this fight.
i get the buff for 4-5seconds and he phases
4-5 seconds wasted getting the buff
every time i ignore the orbs on my main i phase it faster
on ilvl i guess it’s worth it because the damage sucks
the stronger you get the more worth it is to corner him and pump him and disregard the orbs until they start approaching at which point you just pop them so he doesn’t wipe
I do all of mine rested, so every 3 days. They all take between 3-4 min, some runs are even sub 3min… literally no point to lure it anywhere. Just keep pumping and kill it lol
This boss is argueably bad designed. 4 people around him he jump attacks to out of screen. I mean who you are trying to attack , walls? Bad design. That is why he did not live longer and replaced Monkey. Don’t bother dps race or trying to get back attack. Just play piano mode get your leapstone and out. Cheers.
