Omega Planetes Mechanics
Phase System
- 4 Phases / 4 Arenas
- After each phase, he changes arenas and gains new attacks
- Use this time to restock, rebuff, and reposition
- Each new phase escalates the difficulty
Enmity
- Attained by hitting Omega’s head consistently
- Focuses most attacks on one player—Tank only
- Ensures safer openings for DPS and Support
Mustard Bomb
- Tracks target, then explodes into long-lasting fire pools
- Designated player must lure it to a corner and dodge out
- Keep the battlefield clean for consistent DPS uptime
Pantokrator Mode (Enraged State)
- Unleashes rapid, high-damage combos
- Knock him out by:
- DPS focusing rear legs
- Destroying 3 leg wounds triggers knockdown + stun
- Crucial for damage windows and pressure relief
Delta Attack (Phase 3 Ultimate)
- DPS Check.
- Omega becomes immune, flies up, and starts charging.
- Summons a Nerscylla Clone – weak to Fire
To Survive:
- Everyone switches to Fire weapons
- Focus fire on Nerscylla Clone
- Kill it before Omega finishes charging
- A shield will spawn—stand inside it
If you fail, the shield won’t spawn. Delta Attack hits and carts the entire party.
