Hi guys,
A bunch of tips and guides that I will be updating to cover all of the end-game trials that we have currently.
Garuda Extreme

Tips:
- Friction from Garuda will ONLY target healers! Friction from the Suparna and Chirada will still target everyone randomly.
- ANK TIPS: Chirada does not do wicked wheel, only Suprana. Chirada only does downburst.
- MAIN TANK TIPS: You should have focus target on Garuda and be doing your threat rotations on Suprana the whole time so you can see when both are doing slipstream.
- TANK TIPS: When you see your add cast friction, pop your cooldowns as the big hurt is coming (downburst from Chirada and WW from Garuda for the Main Tank, WW from Suparna for the Off Tank).
Titan Extreme

Tips:
- Bombs will cover a much larger area than they did in Titan Hard Mode!
- Landslides and bombs will go off a bit slower than they did in Titan Hard Mode, so don't go rushing into the 'safe area' straight away!
- TANK TIPS: Wait until after Landslides to tank swap where possible.
- TANK TIPS: Have your highest enmity skill ready for picking up the adds after the heart/repeat. You should also try to avoid using Provoke on the adds, as if you do, you will not have it back up in time to swap tanks on Titan before the 3rd Mountain Buster.
- TANK TIPS: KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR EMNITY WHEN YOU ARE OFF TANKING!
- DPS TIPS: Aim to bring both adds down at roughly the same time. Killing one significantly before the other is a great way to get your OT or melee killed in Landslides/Plumes while they can't move from the Sludge.
- DPS TIPS: After the Double-Plumes, hold at least a minor offensive CD or two for the upcoming 'Superbomb' segment.
- BLM TIPS: Manawall (the one that blocks physical damage) will stop landslide damage and knock back. His other abilities can be reduced by manaward. However, dodge Landslides and ONLY use manawall if you are LBing.
- BLM TIPS: Lv2 LB from a caster will deal about 70% (I think) to the adds and Lv3 LB will 1 shot them but has a longer animation lock. To successfully use Lv3 LB, your party must know ahead of time and requires some damage mitigation, enough to survive one bomb. You will be using the Manawall and Manaward here and you should live through it provided you have enough HP.
- HEALER TIPS: Split who will be healing which tank during the "adds phase" before you start.
- HEALER TIPS: Tumults that start a the end of the heart phase will continue even if the Heart breaks. This means that you will need to heal through Tumults AND Earthern Fury.
