your aim is to the beam the horizontal moving UFO structure

Kalos Attack Patterns

Slam (CD: 12s)

● 30% DMG + knock back + 1s stun
● Can be dodged by moving halfway past Kalos body

Eye Beams/Lasers (CD: 15s)

● 70% DMG
● Can be dodged by up jumping/staying platform above him

Back-Bomb (CD: 8s)

● 40% HP
● Cannot be dodged by up jump – can still hit you even if you are on the platform above Kalos
● Can be dodged by move halfway past Kalos body
Kalos Special Attack – “FMA”
Missile Barrage
● Commonly referred to as FMA
● Skill lock (seal) his surroundings before firing the missile barrage
● Missile barrage does 999% HP
● Thereafter, activate a Watcher System
● Happens every 2m 30s – first at 27:20*
● Recommended to have a timekeeper
● Get away from Kalos when near the time for next attack

* Special note
As of Ignition patch v219, credits to Brandon M and my party’s internal testing – it is verified that binds will delay the FMA
timing. If your party is running kanna’s foot bind (15s) + lucid bind (9s), your FMA should happen around every 3m – first
at ~27:00. If your party has a Zero (like mine), Zero’s repeatedly crit bind + dmg may extend the FMA timing almost
indefinitely – hence making it impossible to timekeep. This issue is fixed in KMS during the Saviour patch.

Environmental Hazard
Bombs
● 30% DMG
● Possible to get hit by more than one and take multiple damage
● Phase 1 – every 10s, timer resets whenever HP threshold hits 75/50/25%
● Phase 2 – every 10s
● Spawns around you and your party members – higher chance to get hit by multiple if
your party is clumping, advised to spread out when not bursting

Example of jumping to avoid getting hit by bombs that will hit the platform above it

Teleport
● Teleports to a random player
PHASE 2
Watcher Systems
● Same as phase 1
● T-Boy will hack into one random system every minute starting from when you enter Phase 2, or every minute
after you clear from all systems activated

Segment Test – Parts Breakage

● There are 4 HP segments similar to Will
● Segments: 75 / 50 / 25%
● Have to survive rampage mode to unlock segment
● Whenever a segment is unlocked, one part of Kalos will break off and attack the players
(+1 more attack pattern basically)

Phase 2-1 Phase 2-2 Phase 2-3 Phase 2-4

100 - 75% HP 75 - 50% HP 50 - 25% HP 25 - 0% HP

- 1 Shoulder Wing - 2 Upper Wings - 1 Arm Guard

Rampage Mode – “Test”

When HP segments are met – rampage mode will begin. Out of the 5 yellow circled zones below, one will be a safe zone
randomly – there will be a yellow shield at the safe zone. You have ~6s to get to the yellow shield safe zone.

● 999% HP for areas out of the safe zone – can be iframe-d; you are invulnerable in the safe zone
● Safe zones DO NOT repeat within the same test
● Any party member’s death will end rampage mode immediately + Kalos will heal 5% of his HP back
● After surviving 5 waves, Kalos will be stunned for 15s and shed a body part
Kalos Attack Patterns

Eye beam/lasers (CD: 15s)

● 75% DMG
● Leaves behind lingering flames that does 20% DMG ticks + can knock back continuously
○ The flame’s knock back can be resisted by super stance, such as Steadfast Core
● Due to this attack pattern you almost never want to play on the same platform as Kalos

Double Slam (CD: 12s)

● Slams 2 spots with his hands
● First slam: 35% DMG + Knockback | Second slam: 35% DMG + 2s Stun

Thunder
● Summons 3 thunderbolts – take note the thunderbolts can hit platform above him
● 30% DMG each
Hyper beam
● 10 x 100% DMG
● Will hit the platform above it as well → can be dodged by jumping/floating (See below)
● >75% HP: 60s cooldown | >50% HP: 45s cooldown | <49% HP: 30s cooldown
● Can be cancelled with bind

Flash Strike/Diving
● Targets and chases a player – 3 x 100% DMG when landing
● If Kalos is debuffed, can tell his landing location based on the debuff icons on him, if any
○ He will appear on either the right or left of the debuff icons based on when he is last facing
● Or just move away from everybody’s original position when he casts; safest is to up jump from top platform
Teleport
● Teleports to a random player
Kalos Special Attack — “FMA”

Missile Barrage
● Same as Phase 1 but hitbox is way bigger in phase 2
● Timing same as Phase 1 but count from when you enter Phase 2

Body Parts

2-2: Shoulder Wing (CD: 15s)

● Targets players for bombard + its surrounding
● There is an extra tick of DMG after animation ends (see GIF below)
● 35% DMG x 2 (Initial boom and final tick – see below)

Dodged the initial explosion, but teleported back and took damage from the final tick of DMG
Animation have to fully end to be considered safe

2-3: Upper Wing (CD: 15s)

● Targets players for bombard + its surrounding
● 20% DMG + 3s weakened
2-3: Kalos’ Servant
● Flies slowly towards players and self-destructs when near – similar to Bomb Slime
● 20% DMG
● Starts spawning ~ 60s after groggy state, respawns every 60s thereafter
● Can damage you even when you’re in the invincible shield/bubble during Rampage
Mode/Test – learnt it the hard way 😭
2-4: Arm Guard
● 1 curse will be applied to players every minute from 2-4
● Curse(s) disappears upon death
● The arm guard is planted in the centre of the map as an altar to cleanse your curse
stacks – similar to Damien
● Each curse increases DMG taken by 20%
● 3 curse stacks = instant death, cuts through iframe and door
○ BOD will block the instant death but your curse remains at 3/3 - the instant
death will trigger again if you survive another minute (unless your BOD is up
again)
Extra Info Dump

Clear status
100-67%: red | 66-34%: violet | 33-1%: indigo | 0%: blue

6 man party numbers

left/right - 6 x 3 = 18 shots needed
0-5 shots: red
6-11 shots: violet → turn violet = 12 more shots to clear
12-17 shots: indigo → turn indigo = 6 more shots to clear
18 shots: blue
top/btm - 6 x 2 = 12 shots needed
0-3 shots: red
4-7 shots: violet → turn violet = 8 more shots to clear
8-11 shots: indigo → turn indigo = 4 more shots to clear
12 shots: blue

Party comms should have

1. When Kalos is diving → followed up by Kalos’ location
2. When Kalos is teleporting → followed up by Kalos’ location
3. Hyper beam timer – don’t need this if you’re moving correctly based on Kalos’
location (i.e. stay top when he’s at bottom, stay bottom when he’s at mid, etc)
4. Which system to shoot now, to shoot next, etc.
5. T-Boy watcher activation timer (Lower priority if party is good at shooting)
6. FMA timer

More random notes

1. Similar to Slime boss, always try to just play 1 platform above or below Kalos due to his attack patterns (double
slam, eye beams) outside of burst
2. Try to communicate beforehand with the party which is the system to clear when all 4 systems light up
3. When all 4 systems light up – if your party is competent at shooting – try to shoot once elsewhere first to
continue prepping before clearing the system your party decided in point #2
4. Different types of bombs (i.e. env hazard bomb, 2-2 bomb, 2-3 bomb) do not spawn simultaneously. Therefore if
their cooldowns align, one will spawn first, followed up by the other.
