Mastering The One-Armed Bandit on Mythic Difficulty

Raid Composition:

• Tanks: 2

• Healers: 4

• DPS: 14

Fight Overview:

• Type: Predominantly multi-target

• Enrage Mechanics: Triggered by late/missed coin insertions or repeated combinations, and during the final "Explosive Jackpot" cast.

• Heroism/Bloodlust Timing: Recommended for Phase 2

---

Phase 1 Strategy Summary:

• Place blue puddles (from tank mechanics) along the room's edge.

• Withering Flames: Dispel quickly and avoid the flame path.

• Reel Assistants gain immunity below 25% HP unless hit by a Coin.

• Assign a mobile ranged DPS to handle Coins.

• Kill priority: Reel Assistants > Boss.

• Avoid flame lines and Overload casts.

• Kill/kite all bomb adds.

Phase 2 Strategy Summary:

• Bait Magnetic Coils into corners.

• Manage knockbacks.

• Bomb adds must be slowed and cleaved down.

• Spread from fire beam.

• Beat boss before Enrage.

Mechanics Breakdown:

Dark Lined Cuirass:

• Prevents Reel Assistants from being damaged below 25% HP unless hit by a Coin.

• Assign a hunter or mobile ranged to shoot required Coin targets in order.

The Big Hit:

• Affects one tank and one random player.

• Drop blue circles at the edge. These become permanent damage zones unless removed by Magnetic Coil.

• Poor placement restricts Coin shooter movement.

Coin Combo Order (Mandatory on Mythic):

1. Coin & Shock

2. Coin & Bomb

3. Flame & Bomb

4. Flame & Coin

5. Shock & Bomb

6. Flame & Shock

General Strategy Notes:

• Prioritize Reel Assistants. Damage on the boss should be minimal in P1.

• Withering Flames: High priority to dispel and dodge.

• Coin circles must be baited properly to make Coin shooting efficient. Always bait lines toward the center.

Coin Shooter Guidelines:

• Hit first the Reel Assistant targeted by tanks/melee.

• Next, hit the one targeted by ranged.

• Then, the third.

• Use spare coins to buff ranged before bomb waves.

• Just before P2 (around 5:30), clear all unused Coins.

Phase 1 Detailed Sets:

Set 1: Coin & Shock

• Place Magnetic Coil early.

• Tanks interact with coil during "Spin To Win" to clean puddles.

• No need to resist coil pull unless dodging mechanics.

• Drag boss slightly to delay Reel Assistants and give more prep time.

Set 2: Coin & Bomb

• Bombs cannot be slowed/stunned.

• Kite towards the middle, then sidestep to left when path is blocked.

• Mirror this strategy if adds spawn opposite.

Set 3: Flame & Bomb

• Bombs can be CC'd.

• Prioritize slows/knockbacks.

• Adds drop fire zones that return to their origin.

• Kill quickly to avoid overlap with next Assistants.

Set 4: Flame & Coin

• Stack up for raid-wide healing.

• Treat this like Heroic; it’s a pure healing check.

Set 5: Shock & Bomb

• Three-healer groups: Push boss before sixth Spin To Win.

• After reward triggers, place Coil in a marked corner.

• Kill slowed Bombs.

Set 6: Flame & Shock

• Four-healer groups: Expect to play this set.

• Final wave of Reel Assistants and Bombs.

• Use Monk Rings or Druid Vortex to control adds.

• Stop DPS on boss here – boss should hit 30% at 100 energy.

---

Phase 2 Strategy:

• Fight mirrors Heroic with tighter timing.

• Stack near boss to bait Coils, but avoid getting knocked into them.

• Move away if targeted by flame fixate.

• Blue circle players: Run out and avoid the raid path.

• Bomb adds must be controlled with slows/cleaves.

• Kill boss before Enrage to avoid wipe.
