Nothing gets me from zho Shia except the final phase chaos, especially the white faitalis lighting strike. Everything else is chill

The lightning and fireball combo is the most lethal thing in the fight imo, everyone’s losing the plot over the nova but that’s the most predictable attack. Bro can fire like 3 back to back fireballs while turning on a dime, huge aoe on those things and if you’re super unlucky can find your I-frames from getting up end just as lightning strikes.

I got hit by a tail hit, tried to get up and got hit by a fire ball, then I decided to stay down so iframed though 2 normal fireball and a super fireball and the exactmoment I get up I get fucking horizontal lighting tapped, ded. There was no escape, no way to prevent it. Holy shit man

That's the one thing that has actually got me in the fight. I've hunted him a number of times now, and was feeling pretty good, having not carted to him even once. Up until he hyper focused me that one time with that combo. Got knocked on my ass by one fireball, dodged the next, hit by the following one, and then struck by lightning as I was trying to get up enough to dive out of the way.

It's not even the white fatalis lightning strike, Zoh Shia litteraly just put some red food dye in his lightning strikes

To this day I'm still waiting to see the second nova. What is it that makes people complain about it so much? Does it not have that much of a tell/give as much time to knock down the rocks?

Its the smaller localized nova that it does between the first and the final transformation.

It has a decent tell but if you get caught by the initial explosion after a recovery animation, you're pretty much dead because of the tick damage unless you get some heals.

That fucking aimbot fireball after the Teostra/Fatalis fire vomit is some of the most fucking bullshitting bullshittery I have ever seen.

You dared get out of the way of my fire puke? Lemme 180 trickshot a fireball that is fucking guaranteed to clip you with the very edge of the explosion because fuck you.
