BEFORE THE FIGHT
Pre-Fight Preparation Checklist
| Done | Check | Why it matters | Quick fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physical defence Most of his kit is physical. | Body Slam and slams delete low life. | Life/armour and positioning. | |
| Fire resistance Fire Salvo and fire cyclone are Fire. | Circular salvos leave burning ground. | Raise Fire res; watch the cyclone. | |
| Movement speed Arm traps box you in. | Slow characters get pinned by the trap. | Boots with movement speed; find the gap. | |
| Add clear Skeletons spawn and clutter space. | Adds plus traps multiply pressure. | Clear skeletons that block your route. |
ARENA READING
Arena Reading
The spire arena is open but Tor Gul uses arm traps to wall off sections. Back-side is usually safer, yet the Body Slam tracks, so never stand still.
Damage is mainly Physical and Fire. The exact ground-type label should be confirmed against the current client; do not assume Poison or Chaos without verification.
- Blue = back-side lane. Orange = arm trap. Red = Fire Salvo circle. Green = cyclone gap.

STRATEGY
Strategy and Key Mechanics
Damage Type Resolution — the plan flags conflicting sources (Physical+Fire+Poison vs Physical+Fire+Chaos). The supported, confirmed threat is Physical and Fire; the exact ground-type label should be verified against the current client rather than copied from a single old guide.
Arm Trap Mechanic — when he raises an arm to wall a section, move to the open gap; do not get pinned. Back-side is usually safer, but Body Slam tracks, so keep moving.
Low-life Variant — at low health the cadence speeds up (more salvos). Keep the same discipline; confirm changes against current video before claiming new元素.
- Melee: punish after Palm Slam, not during Body Slam.
- Ranged: kite the salvo circles; keep the cyclone gap in mind.
- If a source claims Poison/Chaos, verify in current client before trusting it.
REWARDS & PROGRESSION
