Introduction
The dancing plaque is the first-ever leveling trial made available by Patch 5.0 in Final Fantasy 14: Shadowbringers. Titania is a very dangerous monster that uses 4 acts and multiple mechanics to kill the whole party that attacks her. You need to have 8 players, preferably 2 tanks, 2 healers,s and 4 DPS. You should be at least level 73 to join in this mission.
Act 1
- Bright Sabbath – will deal high raid-wide AOE blast. So the healer must be prepared all the time.
- Phantom Rune – Deal two types of damage: a large point-blank AOE attack or even larger room-wide donut attack. You can either move in under Tatiana or move out away from her.
- Divination Rune is a massive frontal cone attack that deals with extremely high damage on its primary target. SO the tank has to make sure Tatiana is facing away from the group. Cooldown and healing must be done as necessary.
- Mist Rune – Causes 4 water puddles to spawn in the center of the room. At least one player must stand in the bubble before the timer runs out to avoid the spawning of the Spirit of Dew that could destroy the whole group by exploding. Anyone standing inside the bubble will get fire resist buff.
- Flame Rune – A fiery fist will form above the group and target the person with a stack-up marker.
- Midsummer Night’s Dream – Platform changes from castle to a forest.
Act 2
- Growth Rune – Causes blooming AOE pattern. Stay in the safe zone to avoid damage.
- Frost Rune – Causes sequential AOE circle pattern. To avoid damage move to the last circles and then move to the center once it explodes.
- Uplift – AOE circle markers will be targeted at the player. Spread to avoid overlap.
Add phase and Act 3
Three trees will spawn and each add will have a special power. The tank needs to grab each add as you try to avoid AOE and keep on healing. Focus on one add at a time and try to destroy it before Titania’s gauge reaches 100. Being Mortal is an ultimate blast that happens once all adds are down.
Cool down, get a shield and heal all the way.
Act 4
The combination of all the mechanics in acts 1 and 2 now will be used by Titania at once. Avoid all of it as per acts 1 and 2 and cool down, get a shield, and heal to finish the trial.
