This attack is just Delta Attack being cast several times at once. The same rules apply for dodging this attack. This time you need toavoid stepping into the range of another Delta Attack.To quickly cover ground,use abilities like Cold Snap or Phoenix Shift.
Early on in the fight, Gorgimera will attempt to catch you off guard bycasting a spell and then going for a physical attack.
For example, it may cast their ice crystals and then immediately dive at you. Try tokeep your eyes on Gorgimera while also walking out of range of whatever magic is on the field.
It’s also important to note thateach head on the Gorgimera is tied to a specific element.The lion head will only cast fire, the dragon head on the right will only cast lightning, and the dragon head on the left will only cast ice.
Whenever these heads areabout to cast a spell, their eyes will shine brightly.
Since this is an S-Rank hunt,be prepared to use your strongest Eikonic abilitiesafter staggering Gorgimera.Flames of Rebirth is a great optionif you’re having difficulty dodging each spell.
Remember tobring either Shiva or Phoenixfor this fight. Anupgraded Phoenix Shift or Cold Snap is great for evadingthe huge range that some of these attacks have.
