Vorago Combat Achievements

Introduction

This guide will go over how to complete the Grandmaster Speed Killer Combat Achievement for Normal Mode Vorago.

Vorago-Specific Tricks/Skips

This section will cover the different tricks and skips specific to the Vorago fight that are necessary in order to achieve the GM timer.

TC Timing:

⬥ Every single phase Vorago can be targeted with Target Cycle earlier than he visibly shows up in the arena. Learning this timing is integral to speedkills so you do not lose ticks. This is especially important on P5, as if you do not attack and push Vorago on-tick, TeamSplit will immediately spawn which is too much time-loss for the GM timer. ⬥ The easiest way to learn this timing is by using the Alt1 Plug-In called 'Vorago Timer' found in #alt1. ⬥ Another common way to time it is to use an ability with a 10-second cooldown on the tick that you would normally crack-heal. The ability will come off cooldown on the exact tick you want to TC.

,

, and

are the best options as they can be used off GCD, so they won't interrupt prebuilds. ⬥ One more way you can align your TC timing is using Vorago's jumping animations. If you use an ability right as you see Vorago land, and continuously use GCDs from that point on without losing ticks, you will be lined up perfectly going into P3 or P5 so that your

will be on the correct tick. ⬥ Note that, if you follow the rotations below, you will not need to do anything special for P3 TC timing. Phasing Vorago on P2 with

and then immediately targeting the dummy and using continuous GCDs without losing ticks will align you properly to

on the correct tick.

Solo Lure:

⬥ Solo Lure refers to the Base Tank luring Vorago to the exact correct spot for the jump, so that the Bomb Tank can instantly jump. ⬥ See here for a detailed video guide on how to Solo Lure.

Accel-Pot Climb:

⬥ Accel-Pot Climb refers to using an

in order to do the Top Lure climb in the most optimal way possible. For the purpose of GM, you want to be consistently clicking to jump on Vorago's back no later than the first tick of 0:30 seconds. ⬥ If you are struggling with losing ticks elsewhere, it may be worth it to learn how to get 0:28 climbs, as this is something you can practice very easily solo. ⬥ See here for an example of what a 0:28 climb looks like.

Clone Skip:

⬥ Clone Skip refers to skipping the Phase 4 clones. This is done by having the Base Tank walk Vorago all the way to the side of an arena, while the Bomb Tank stays all the way on on the opposite wall, outside of Vorago's attack range. Since Vorago can only give clones to the Bomb Tank, but the Bomb Tank is out of range of Vorago's attacks, the special is skipped entirely. ⬥ There are several ways for the Base Tank to walk Vorago, but the easiest method is to turn your Run off and spam click the opposite side of Vorago in order to walk underneath him. You may have to adjust where you click depending on what direction Vorago starts walking. ⬥Ceiling Collapse rocks can block Vorago from walking to a particular side of the Arena, so make sure to remove all non-corner rocks prior to Clone Skip. ⬥ One thing to note is that Vorago will never walk north. This can be helpful to know as it means north ceiling rocks do not need to be destroyed, and can be useful to save to give the Base Tank more options later for Bleeds Skip.

Bleeds Skip:

⬥ Bleeds Skip refers to skipping the Phase 4 bleeds. This is done by luring Vorago around a Ceiling Collapse rock in such a way that he gets stuck on the rock and cannot get within melee distance of you to apply bleeds. ⬥ Vorago will jump and drop a Ceiling Collapse, throw two auto attacks, then begin bleeds. As soon as he applies the first bleed is when you want to trap him on the rock so he cannot apply any subsequent bleeds. ⬥ Once Vorago is stuck, make sure nobody attacks him as it will break the skip. This includes familiars, so familiar attack mode should be set to 'Passive'. ⬥ For a better understanding of how the movement looks, check out the example videos below to see the skips in action.
