Guide
Metamorph is weak to 
wind-aspected phantom job actions, regardless of which form it is in.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Blackened Rain | Magical raid-wide damage. Also spawns an AoE at the edge of the arena that will instantly kill anyone who touches it. |
| Change | Transforms into either a cerberus or a magic fan, each with their own mechanics. Metamorph will use this action periodically and alternate between the two forms. |
| Dark Dealing | Telegraphed magical single-target tankbuster. |
Cerberus Phase
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Tongue of Flame | A large, late-telegraphed point-blank AoE. |
| Hellward Bound | Metamorph will dash to each cardinal in a Z-shaped pattern. The first dash has a line AoE telegraph, while the others do not, but are indicated with arrows with its direction. During this, there will be four sets of telegraphed circle AoEs (Hellfire Catch) at random locations. |
| Hellish Breath | Metamorph will jump to the edge of the arena, gain  Directional Disregard, and briefly telegraph three conal AoEs, each hitting around a third of the arena, then execute the attacks.
|
Magic Fan Phase
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Cyclonic Ring | A large, late-telegraphed donut AoE. |
| Shapshifting Supercell | A combination AoE attack consisting of three large cones that will rotate either clockwise or counterclockwise (based on the arrows), along with a point-blank AoE that will cascade outward as two concentric donut AoEs. The subsequent AoEs after the first set are late-telegraphed. The cones will rotate the width of the initial safe spots each time. The point-blank into two donuts will repeat once. |
| Made Magic + Cyclone Crossing | Metamorph summons four wind orbs in a square formation along with two perpendicular line AoEs hitting the middle. The wind orbs will expand into massive circle AoEs, leaving small safe spots at the edge of the arena. |
Dialogue
Hohoho... Come to witness the majesty of my transformative arts?
Metamorphosis!
And back again!
Phew, all these transformations take their toll...
