Guide
Please note that players may fall off the edge of the arena to their deaths. Being hit with any avoidable AoEs will inflict a stack of 
Vulnerability Up, along with possibly other effects.
Iron Fist: The Tyrant
Phase 1
- Crown of Arcadia: Physical raid-wide damage.
- Draw Steel: The boss equips a weapon (either a scythe, axe, or sword), denoting a late-telegraphed AoE when he uses Smashdown.
- Scythe: Donut AoE (inside hitbox safe).
- Axe: Point-blank AoE (slightly outside max melee range safe).
- Sword: A plus-shaped AoE relative to where he is facing.
- Void Stardust: Gives each player a purple spread AoE marker with an arrow, indicating that each player will be hit three times with an AoE. Each hit will leave behind a circle AoE telegraph of the same size, which should be avoided.
- The boss will use a sword Smashdown afterwards, so it is possible that the plus AoE will be at an angle if the boss was turned during the previous mechanic.
- Trophy Weapons: Summons a sword, axe, and scythe at various locations.
- Assault Evolved: The boss tethers one weapon, which forms a chain with all weapons. This indicates that the boss will jump to the tethered weapon, perform its relevant AoE at that location, then jump to the next weapon until all three have resolved. Keep in mind where the boss faces for the sword AoEs.
- Raw Steel Trophy: The boss equips a sword, indicating mechanics for Dance of Domination.
- Dance of Domination: Eight hits of physical raid-wide damage and leaves behind white gashes on the floor, which will explode as wide late-telegraphed line AoEs. The middle of the two large triangles is safe.
- Raw Steel Trophy: The boss equips an axe, indicating mechanics for Dance of Domination.
- Raw Steel: A split-damage physical tankbuster targeting the off-tank, and spread AoE markers on all non-tanks.
- Charybdistopia: Reduces everyone's HP to 1.
Phase 2
- Ultimate Trophy Weapons: Will begin spawning weapons at various locations in sequence.
- Assault Apex: The boss jumps to the weapons in the order they spawn and executes the relevant AoE. Unlike with Assault Evolved, there are no tethers. Weapons that have wind around them will leave behind a whirlwind after they resolve, which should be avoided.
- The two whirlwinds will then use two sets of telegraphed conal AoEs covering the entire arena.
- Immortal Reign: The boss empowers himself visually but this cast has no functional effect.
- One and Only: High physical raid-wide damage with a slow cast.
Phase 3
- Meteorain: Spawns four towers, two in melee range and the other two farther way, at the intercardinals. Each must be taken by at least one player. The towers deal physical damage (Cosmic Kiss) and leave behind a rock for later.
- Foregone Fatality (no cast bar): Two portals appear, one north and the other south. Each portal will tether a rock with a tankbuster indicator. Each tank should pick these up, because tethered rocks will explode for magical raid-wide damage (Unmitigated Explosion). The tankbuster itself deals magical damage. At the same time, one non-tank will receive a stack AoE marker.
- Afterwards, four more towers will appear, and the mechanic sequence repeats.
- Double Tyrannihilation: Two hits of roomwide AoE damage, each hit destroying the closest rocks. Hide behind the rock that is directly behind another rock, because that will be safe for both hits.
- Flatliner: A telegraphed line AoE and radial knockback. The AoE itself will destroy the middle of the arena, splitting it into two. The knockback cannot be prevented with immunities.
- The boss's hitbox will enlarge and he will gain
Directional Disregard. - Majestic Meteor: Three sets of telegraphed circle AoEs at random players' locations. Also spawns portals at the edges with thin white lines originating from them, denoting late-telegraphed line AoEs, leaving some gaps.
- Fire and Fury: Two proximity magical AoE telegraphs (Mammoth Meteor) on opposite corners of the arena, along with opposite telegraphed 90 degree cleaves.
- (knockback towers) - no cast bar: Spawns four towers with knockback telegraphs, one on each corner. These must be taken by one player each to prevent them from exploding. Players must also position themselves to either be knocked to the opposite side of the same platform they are on, or straight across to the other platform, or they will be knocked off. The knockback cannot be prevented with immunities.
- The Majestic Meteor and Fire and Fury sequences repeat again, except only two knockback towers will appear, one per platform.
- Arcadion Avalanche: The boss will face one random platform, targeting it for destruction and killing anyone on it. Players on that plaform must position to be knocked to the opposite safe platform. Players on the safe platform must not cross to the other platform if they take the tower. The boss will throw the targeted platform on the other one as a wide telegraphed line AoE.
- Crown of Arcadia: Physical raid-wide damage and restores the arena.
- Heartbreak Kick: Spawns a tower with a multi-hit stack marker, denoting 5 hits of magical raid-wide damage. Used twice in a row.
- Great Wall of Fire: Split-damage line tankbuster targeting the off-tank. Will leave behind a line AoE telegraph that should be avoided.
Mechanics then repeat until then boss is defeated.

Dialogue
Metem: Ruling over all with an iron fist, the grand champion of the Arcadion—the Tyrant!
Metem: At long last, the decisive match against the grand champion! Metem: Will the challenger triumph and seize the Tyrant's throne? The Tyrant: First, I shall take your measure. The Tyrant: Show me your footwork. Metem: Even I felt that! Can't afford to be careless, now! Metem: Another attack evaded with aplomb! The Tyrant: How about this? Metem: A direct hit! But they're still standing! The Tyrant: Behold the essence of martial mastery! Metem: Absolute brutality! The champion's power is unmatched! The Tyrant: There is much more to come! Metem: The challenger's holding their own! The Tyrant: It has been a long time since I've enjoyed myself so! Metem: It's Tyranny Time, folks! He knows no mercy, and he's never tasted defeat! Metem: They're up! What fighting spirit! The Tyrant: No more holding back. The Tyrant: Prepare yourself, unenhanced warrior! Metem: I beg your pardon? What is he going to do with all those weapons? Metem: Such ferocity! The champion is ruthless indeed! The Tyrant: My reign is absolute! I will not lose! Metem: The Tyrant's altered his form! He looks even more tyrannical than before! The Tyrant: Rrraaah! The Tyrant: Know the folly of challenging me unenhanced! Metem: Oh no, they've been felled with a vengeance! Metem: And they're back in action! Can they turn the tide!? The Tyrant: I will not yield my throne! Metem: What a display of power! He's unleashed the full might of the behemoth! The Tyrant: Now fall! Metem: Oh, he's split the ring in half! We're going to need urgent repairs! The Tyrant: Try this! Metem: And now he's thrown the ring! What absurd strength! Metem: Ahem, the ring shall presently be restored. Metem: 'Tis a clash between feral pride and mortal resolve! Either side could come out on top! The Tyrant: The power of feral souls makes the Arcadion what it is!
Refbot: K.O.! Metem: The match is decided! Before your very eyes, a new grand champion is born!
Metem: It's all over...until next time!
