Guild Wars 2

Condi Duration is definitely the best method to beating Liadri. I kept getting her down to 5% or less in Berserker gear and running out of time. Ate a Koi Cake and donned my Rabid gear (Lich/Mad King/Lyssa) and facerolled her easily. Can be easily kept at range between Freeze Grenade and Box of Nails. Use Rocket Boots when you’re out of Endurance or Crippled.

Grenade Kit, Tool Kit, Rocket Boots.

I just did 5 gambits with engineer, 20/0/30/20/0 with bomb heal and backpack regenerator plus candied dragon roll. Utilities were bomb kit, elixir B and thumper turret. Literally just walked up to Subject 7 and dropped bombs till he died.

I got Light Up the Darkness

I used this build, the same point distribution I normally run but with different traits and some different pieces of gear for this specific fight. I realize I have conflicting sigils, the weapons are from two different sets I keep, I didn’t bother changing as both helped in their own way.

I found that a big key to this fight is getting phase 1 down like clockwork. Others have mentioned it, and I will list what I did each time. If you find yourself standing still, just strafe back and forth a bit it helps avoid a lot of Liadri’s claw attacks.

1) Target Liadri (try to just get into any group with a friend or anyone so you can do this), the shoot the Rift. Immediately run to the first light spot, and drag the first Vision to it. At first you’ll need to be between the Vision and the light because red circles will drop on it, then just back up and let it walk over. Pick up the orb and hit Liadri. I would also normally heal at this point so my heal is back up for phase 2.

2) Run to the opposite side of the room and go into Tool Kit. Select the next Vision that was just next to you on the way. Just about the time you get to the next light spot, red circles should come. Use Gear Shield. Immediately after the red circles are gone, use magnet on the Vision. Pick up the orb, hit Liadri.

3) Next light spot is to the left, towards the first one. Shoot the Vision if not already aggro’d onto you. Drag it towards the light spot, red circles will appear right about when you get there. Dodge toward the Vision, it should hit this light spot dropping your third orb. Hit Liadri, then immediately hit her with blinding and freezing grenades.

After this it’s a bit hectic, but I was getting quite deep into the fight each time using this strategy. You get into phase 2 very quick, allowing you plenty of time to miss a couple orbs if need be (surrounded by Visions or just too far away, etc). I believe the best rotation around the room here is counter clockwise, you are near the light circles pretty often this way. Always shoot Liadri, with pistol auto attacks if you can’t land grenades at the moment, but make sure you’re always attacking. I had to stop after 7 orbs so I didn’t kill her, you should not run out of time using this strategy.

Good luck! It’s definitely a rush, that’s for sure.
