You must complete the Confrontations and Revelations mission from Issue 11 and the Gatekeeper challenge before you can enter this mini-dungeon.
The bosses here have AEGIS shields, and so you need fist or blood magic to heal. Leeching is not feasible. You should have at least an average of v1.5 AEGIS.
Remember that some addons can auto-swap weapon and shield AEGIS. You should disable auto-swapping of weapon AEGIS since your weapon AEGIS must match your team members’ shield type in order to be able to heal their shields.
If you have v1.9 shield AEGIS or under, it’s recommended to slot one AE Rampart Capacitor. If you have v2.0 or higher, there’s no need for any Rampart Capacitors.
At least v1.9 Weapon AEGIS or better is recommend for this difficulty. An [AE Overcharger] is also recommended. Those can be purchased on the Auction House or gained from rare bosses in Tokyo.
Uta
This fight has a 10 minute limit. If the fight lasts for longer than that, everyone still alive will receive the Phantasmal Killer debuff. This effect same as The Facility dungeon. It will eventually do too much damage and kill everyone.
You can begin with any one of them. The Utas will periodically engage and disengage in direct combat with you. Only one Uta will be active at a time, and the Uta you attack first will be the first one to be active.
You should never be directly attacked by any of the Utas, unless everyone else is dead, but you should have at least 4000 health anyway because there are so many AoE ground attacks in this encounter. You are guaranteed to be hit by things.
DO NOT use any AOE abilities, such as Bombardment, Shotgun Turret, etc. If you face PSY-Uta or DEM-Uta, it’s recommend slot an impair ability. please make sure you have 4K HP.
Sisterly Bonds
This fight needs damage control. Each of the Utas have a buff called Sisterly Bonds. All of you need to keep the health of the Utas balanced. If one Uta has significantly less health than the other Utas, the Sisterly Bonds buff will rise in stacks. If it reaches 4 stacks, the other Utas will become enraged.
If this happens, take down enraged Utas’ health as quickly as possible, it can save the team. While enraged, the Utas have a very high damage output and will kill the team. Additionally, the death of any of the Utas will cause the other Utas to enrage as well.
Shields
All of the Utas’ AEGIS shields will periodically renew themselves. There are many ways to handle this, but the safest way is to let all of them be renewed and then take them down again. If one Uta’s shield is renewed, all the DPS should stop attacking and wait for the other shields to be renewed as well.
However, the Psychic Uta’s shield regeneration is triggered by a cast and can be interrupted. You can discuss this with your team on beforehand if you want to go with a different tactic.
If your Uta’s Sisterly Bonds buff reaches 2 stacks, you should either stop attacking your Uta or help with another Uta. Discuss this with your team on beforehand.
Honorable Combat
When an Uta casts this, it means she will become active and engage in direct combat with whomever has her aggroed.
You need to aggro her as quickly as you can, as the Demonic Uta’s basic attacks are very dangerous. It is recommended to use Provoke after she has finished casting Honorable Combat, as it sometimes doesn’t work while they are casting it.
Assassin’s Guile
When an Uta casts this, it means she will no longer engage in direct combat.
You need find the other Uta that is about to become active and aggro that one. The Provoke ability is recommended for this.

When she is not in direct combat:
Sweep
A long rotating column attack. A rotating white line will first show where the column will be rotating and how far. Then the actual column shows up which is outlined with red lines on the ground. The damage is not very high, but try to stay out of it as the healer already has enough to do in this fight.
However, it is often wiser to simply run towards and through it instead of trying to run away from it, as it often catches up to you and then you end up staying inside the outlined area for much longer.
Demonic UtaShe is using Blood Magic as her weapon.

MiscellaneousWhen the fight begins, everyone should be careful with AoE attacks. It is recommended to use Team Speak or other VOIP software to communicate with the team.
Before the fight begins, each DPS needs to choose an Uta that they stick with for the most part. Keep paying attention to the Sisterly Bonds buff, this is crucial! Discuss with your team as to whether you should stop attacking when the stacks increase or if you should help with the other Utas.
You should slot Cleansing Drone to help cleanse the TANK of the Exposed Vein debuff. Even if the TANK has a self-cleanse passive, it is still not enough. If Exposed Vein has more than 10 stacks, the damage over time will be very high.
Slot a self-cleanse passive, such as Perjury. You must also slot Provoke to grab aggro from the Utas when they become active. You can slot another aggro ability as a backup if you want, such as Mass Provocation or The Art of War.

You must keep healing the AEGIS shield of the person that has this effect on them. If target’s AEGIS shield is depleted, a pulse will kill everyone instantly. The blast is called Corrupt Detonation in the combat log.
Membranous Tempest
45 degree filth attack. It will knock you down if you’re hit. Only the tank will be targeted by this attack.
Never let flappy face the team, but do your best to avoid it, because Flappy often casts Filth Infestation after this attack, which means you could be stuck in filth for a few seconds.
Disgorge Filth
When the fight begins, a filth pool will spawn in a random location on the balcony. It persists for a little while. Avoid this at all costs.
Desolation Winds
After the Egg Phase, Flappy will fly down to the entrance or back, and cast this. Everyone must hide behind the broken egg. Read more below for info about the Egg Phase.
Egg Phase
This phase only happen three times, and is triggered when Flappy reaches specific tresholds in its hitpoints.
Flappy will fly away and eggs of random sizes and strength will drop in random locations. The eggs will grow in size over time. They have invincible adds inside them.
There is only ONE EGG that will not grow. This egg is broken. There is an audio cue when this egg spawns and you should see filth leaking from it. DO NOT DESTROY THIS EGG. If you spot the egg, you should mark it with a faction marker than you can buy from the Advanced Faction Fixer in your Faction HQ.
When Flappy returns and starts casting Desolation Winds, everyone must hide behind the broken egg in order to survive. Make sure all the other eggs are destroyed by the time Flappy has returned, or else it will result in a wipe.
The eggs have three sizes. The small eggs have 4272 shield and 3052 HP. The medium eggs have 6409 shield and 4577 HP. Large eggs have 12818 double-shield and 18312 HP. Large eggs only appear in the last egg phase.
If any growing egg still on ground when Flappy has finished casting Desolation Winds, an invincible filth beast will come out of it and kill the team.
Two random team members will get the Corrupt effect on them in on this phase, pay attention to this!
If you get the Corrupt effect on you, make sure to not go too far away from the healer. Watch your AEGIS shield. Also, don’t walk into other players.
Filthy Amalgam
When Flappy is dead, a golden circle appear at the far end of the balcony. If everyone step inside the circle, the fight will begin.
This fight has extreme DPS requirements. Everyone must have 10.4.4+ gear and v1.9 AEGIS Controller and high level AE Capacitors. The team must achieve 5000 DPS in 4 minutes and 30 seconds. Any lower DPS than that and you will stand no chance of beating this.

The Shades usually go after the healer and it’s hard for the tank to get aggro back from all of them. Be careful and lead the Shades to the centre of the balcony.

The Filth will eventually cover the entire balcony. Pay attention to the Filth debuff. Stay out of the Filth as long as you can.
When the last remaining spot is filled with filth, everyone should start moving to the entrance (Spot 1), and a small Filthy Amalgam will spawn on there. You need to move fast.
Filthy Amalgam

Spot 1
In this spot it only casts Vermiculated Wail, which is easy to avoid. You should aim to take down the psychic shield before it moves.
Spot 2
When you arrive in Spot 2, it will be getting bigger. During the time you spend in this spot, you should take down the cybernetic shield.
In this spot it will continue to cast Vermiculated Wail along with a new attack called Vermiculated Howl. It’s 120 degree cone attack. It will cast it in random directions.
Buff when you start taking down the Cybernetic shield.

Mind the Psychic Renewal cast. It is imperative that you interrupt this, or else it will take longer to kill the boss and you can’t afford that.
Activate the buffs again as soon as the cooldowns have expired. Do your worst, as this is really the moment of truth.
