Predetermined Positions

Before entering the fight, you'll need to pre-determine your positions, you'll need to memorize that two of the first five people will stand in the middle forming a plus sign, and the other leftover three will be at eleven three and seven o'clock positions, this is for the first wipe mechanic Purple-Fold/Red-Unfold (120 lines), you’ll need to memorize your spot. Secondly, to max three people will stand in eleven five or seven o'clock positions, then each person will need to figure out the orders, like 11 o'clock first person 11 o'clock second person and 11 o'clock third person.

Wipe Mechanic: Purple-Fold/Red-Unfold

This pattern will appear around line 120 when she teleports to the middle with a way explaining the situation, Vykas will spawn three shadow clones at 11, 3, and 7 o'clock positions, there will also be a total 5 or spawning in a plus formation in the center of the map, if you take the orb, you'll either get a purple or a red symbol above your head since there's an odd number of orbs, you'll always get either red or purple, as the majority of the three shadow clones are all different, one has both wings folded, one wing folded, and unfolded wings, the first safe spot of the wipe explosion is determined by the color majority, if red is the majority of the orbs, the first safe spot is the unfolded wing shadow clone, and if purple is the majority, the first safe spot is both wings folded shadow clone, afterward, the second safe spot is always one wing folded shadow clone. In the third safe spot, as the last leftover one of the players in positions, 11, 3, and 7 o'clock's job is to communicate what each of their shadow clones is doing, their positions are folded wings, unfolded wings, or half-folded wings, the five players in the middle forming a plus formation one, needs to take their orbs right away, then gather into the center first to determine the color majority quickly.

Purple-Fold/Red-Unfold Additional Notes:

Here are some of the additional notes to know for this mechanic, shadow clones will usually be placed at 11, 3, and 7 o'clock positions, but sometimes they are placed a little bit skewed, so make sure to check that and move accordingly to find out the shadows pose, you cannot take more than one color-determining orb, you will die immediately, for the three clone checking members, it is crucial to come back to the center to get to the proper safe spot fast enough.

Wipe Mechanic: Red & black Orbs

This mechanic will happen around 65 lines when she teleports in the middle, Vykas will have a dialogue, and then Vykas will spawn three shadow clones again at 11, 5, and 7 o'clock positions, afterward, each clone will emit red or black pulses, you have to focus on looking at them, red pulses are square a little slower while black pulses are circular and fast, you will need to memorize the combination when the pulses are over, she will fire five black orbs, you will need to remember that combination of pulses before and take the black orbs and let the red orbs go pass through since all of the orbs are black, it is crucial to remember the combination.

It is important for the players to determine the positions, and allocate members accordingly, the combinations are random too.

• 2 Black Orbs (1 position)

• 3 Black Orbs (2 position)

Spare (3rd person) have to move accordingly if your position only have 2 black orbs.
