Kowazan Mechanics

Despite having very few mechanics, Kowazan and Lycan Kowazan are difficult bosses in Throne and Liberty. A healer is key to saving the party when mechanics fail. Make sure everyone is aware of the following mechanics to avoid failed attempts at killing this boss:

Fury Attack

• Kowazan, randomly, casts AoE Poison Knives all around him in a large radius twice in a row that can't be dodged if you're in range. Players should be able to simply face tank the Knives and rely on a healer to recover any lost Health. After the second cast of Knives, the boss uses a melee range Fury Attack that can be Blocked by paying attention to the Purple Fury Attack indicator.

General Patterns

• Kowazan has Melee and Ranged basic attacks that are used depending on who holds aggro. If a Ranged player steals aggro, the boss swaps to Range attacks and then jumps on top of the target. Try to always keep aggro on a tank.
• After saying, "Are you the leader?" Kowazan spawns a Glowing Green Aura underneath a random player in the arena. The Green Light emits from the ground, and the boss throws multiple Knives in almost a 180-degree AoE cone that deals damage and stacks Poison on anyone hit.
• When Kowazan says, "Filthy...useless...! I'll take you all down in an instant!" he gathers Green Smoke towards him while sucking randomly selected players in. After the Vacuum Pull, Kowazan deals an AoE blast that marks and debuffs the selected players with a Knife and Green Aura above their heads. If you are marked, you have to run and touch the bodies of other players who are unmarked to spread the debuff. If you fail to spread the debuff you are then Lifted into the air and killed.

Lycan Kowazan Mechanics

Fury Attack

• The Fury Attack from Lycan Kowazan is fairly simple and entails a large AoE attack that covers the majority of the arena. Pay attention to the Purple Fury Attack indicator and Block at the right moment.

General Patterns

• The boss pushes players back in a large AoE and marks 6 random players in the arena with Blue Moon symbols. Players must match their Moon with another to form a Yellow Full Moon. A yellow AoE also appears at random where one of the Blue Moons was matched. Stand in this AoE to receive a damage buff.
• Lycan Kowazan sucks players in, and six to seven at random are marked with a Red Moon. Additionally, several other players are marked with Red Light. Players with a Red Moon above their heads must immediately run to the boss as fast as possible and hug it. If even one person with a Red Moon is late, Lycan Kowazan begins killing players who were marked with the Red Light at random.

Tips

• Players can wait for the mass stun in a conflict fight before going in.
