Guide
Phantom Necromancer is weak to 
wind-aspected and holy-aspected phantom job actions.
The arena is surrounded by an AoE that will instantly kill anyone who touches it. The arena is also a 6x6 grid of tiles, which is important for some mechanics.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Dark II | A telegraphed 180 degree frontal cleave. |
| Rise of the Fallen | The primary mechanic of this CE, in which the boss will summon multiple waves of untargetable adds that will do various AoEs.
First, Long-dead Explorer (zombie) adds will spawn on random tiles. The adds will do late-telegraphed point-blank AoEs. Newly spawned adds will glow orange. They will then glow white-purple before using their AoEs. The AoE radius is around 1.6 times the length of a tile. After the waves of zombies, waves of Long-dead Pirates (specters) will appear on random tiles, which will do late-telegraphed plus-shaped AoEs each hitting a row of and column of tiles, leaving some safe spots. |
| Dark Flare | Magical raid-wide damage. |
| Arcane Revelation | The boss spawns three purple discs in a triangular formation. The discs will rise up and then do late-telegraphed line AoEs through the wide portion of the discs. (This mechanic telegraph is very similar to Amon the Undying's Antistrophe in The Aitiascope.) |
