| | + | A Rifle Mechanist build for sPvP which spams autoattacks until someone dies. |
| | | | |
| − | Almost every attack in this encounter applies {{tooltip|Poison}}, so you may find you need a lot of condition cleanse or extra healing to deal with it.

| − | Note that this encounter varies quite significantly in Challenge Mode, so there will be a lot of comments like the one below. Also, be aware that the timings are slightly different in CM, but the attack order remains the same.

| − | ''Challenge Mode Only:'' The normal mode version has no time limit, but with the CM on, each phase will have an ''Inevitability of Death'' bar that slowly increases throughout the encounter.

The AoEs last for three seconds and pulse a small amount of damage, {{tooltip|Torment}}, {{tooltip|Cripple}} and {{tooltip|Poison}}.
| + | * {{Skill|Force Signet}} - passive damage and a CC, a greedy option offering little to no sustain on an already squishy build. |

| − | Then, she will '''Jump''' towards and past the closest target, evading attacks as she moves - this can include minions and clones. This can be used to control her movement by getting the group to stack in the direction you wish her to move and will be useful later in the encounter and particularly in challenge mode. If this movement takes her too close to the edge of the arena(s), she will teleport back to the middle. She repeats this every ~30 seconds.
| |
| | | | |
| | + | ==Specializations== |
| | + | {{Specialization|Explosives|mid|top|bot}} |
| | + | '''Variants''' |
| | + | * {{Trait|Flashbang}} lowers your damage but offers more sustain/CC by adding a frequent source of {{Tooltip|Blind}} and {{Tooltip|Daze}} procs to the build. |

Unlike in normal mode, these can be targeted and killed, and it is quite beneficial to do so if possible, as they will not despawn and can be a serious hazard when trying to deal with other mechanics.

This attack is unavoidable and will create one of three random effects.

| | | | |
| − | ''Challenge Mode only:'' Each attack deals extreme damage that will instantly down any player hit by them.

The apparition is surrounded by a dangerous AoE similar to the krait, but only the fixated player is affected by the pull. This is by far the easiest hallucination to deal with as it moves slowly and only requires one player to kite it away, and if the fixated player is downed the apparition will immediately fixate on a new target.

The explosion AoEs can overlap so it’s important to avoid them, though the positioning of this can often force you away from the boss. A quaggan spawns every second, but each player can be targeted at most once every two seconds. In normal mode, this attack is “instanced” such that if it downs you, the attack will stop even though it continues for other players.

| |
| − | At 75% health, Ankka will become invincible and flee to a new area. The group should follow the path to the east, avoiding the AoEs that spawn to block you. Once the first player reaches the new arena, any remaining players that are far enough away will be teleported into it too. This means some groups may prefer to have a single player (ideally with movement skills) rush forward while everyone else remains behind.

These spites can be killed, but they also die when their defiance bars are broken, which should be much quicker. After 20 seconds, any remaining reanimated Spites are destroyed, buffing Ankka with one stack of {{tooltip|Power of the Void}} per spite for 60 seconds. Not only does this effect increase her damage and defense by 25%, but it also causes her attacks to apply {{tooltip|Debilitating Void}} to players, reducing their incoming healing by 50%.

They follow this up with a slam attack that launches/knocks nearby players back, before repeating the spin + pull attack once more, then dying. They spawn in a rough cross-shape, which leaves some safe space at the northern and southern ends of the arena, but it may be simpler to bring some extra {{tooltip|Stability}} and not worry about it.

Be mindful that as the arena is much smaller it is more likely that her jumps will eventually move her out of the arena and cause her to reset to the middle.

| − | | |
| − | Shortly after, she uses <span data-armory-embed="skills" data-armory-size="24" data-armory-inline-text="wiki" data-armory-ids="64514" title="Hallucinating Shot" style="display: inline-block; min-height: 24px; max-height: 24px; overflow: hidden; vertical-align: bottom;"></span>.

| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ~35s into the phase, she becomes invulnerable and repeats '''Necrotic Ritual'''. This is the same as in previous phases, except an additional [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Reanimated_Hatred Reanimated Hatred] will spawn next to Ankka and fixate on the most distant player. For 20 seconds, the Hatred will chase the fixated player, and if it reaches them will {{tooltip|Immobilize}} them and channel a damaging attack on the player until killed or broken. The fixated player should try to avoid the Hatred until the end of the Necrotic Ritual so that they are not caught off-stack.

| − | ===Challenge Mode===
| |
| − | Phase 3 is different enough from the normal mode version to warrant its own section.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | The major change in this phase is that as it starts you will see four white AoEs along each edge of the arena. Standing in these AoEs provides the [[File:Gift of True Sight.webp|25px|link=https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sanctuary_(Xunlai_Jade_Junkyard)|Sanctuary]] [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sanctuary_(Xunlai_Jade_Junkyard) Sanctuary] buff for 10 seconds. This buff protects you from a ticking damage effect called [[File:Devouring Void.webp|25px|link=https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Devouring_Void_(Xunlai_Jade_Junkyard)|Devouring Void]] [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Devouring_Void_(Xunlai_Jade_Junkyard) Devouring Void] that will slowly increase in damage each tick until you return to one of the Sanctuaries.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Being able to stay within these AoEs is essential to handling this phase. As such, the group should make use of positioning to bait Ankka to jump toward one of them so that she can be attacked from safety. Players should stack tightly with their backs to one of the AoEs and when she leaps towards them, reposition so they can stand in the sanctuary (hopefully this is now in melee range of Ankka). As the <span data-armory-embed="skills" data-armory-size="24" data-armory-inline-text="wiki" data-armory-ids="66824" title="Wall of Fear" style="display: inline-block; min-height: 24px; max-height: 24px; overflow: hidden; vertical-align: bottom;"></span> krait spawn at the southern end of the arena, it might be safest to try to pull Ankka to the northern Sanctuary, so that the group can see them coming.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Naturally, the need to return to these Sanctuaries regularly will make handling other mechanics more difficult. People should make sure to be in the white AoEs during <span data-armory-embed="skills" data-armory-size="24" data-armory-inline-text="wiki" data-armory-ids="67160" title="Death's Embrace" style="display: inline-block; min-height: 24px; max-height: 24px; overflow: hidden; vertical-align: bottom;"></span>, and it is very important that the <span data-armory-embed="skills" data-armory-size="24" data-armory-inline-text="wiki" data-armory-ids="66564" title="Death's Hand" style="display: inline-block; min-height: 24px; max-height: 24px; overflow: hidden; vertical-align: bottom;"></span> AoEs be dropped in the corners rather than on the Sanctuaries (fortunately this only occurs once in Phase 3).

| − | | |
| − | The final change occurs during '''Necrotic Ritual'''. In addition to all the usual mobs, one last one is added: a Reanimated Antipathy that resembles an Eye of Zhaitan. The Antipathy spawns at the western Sanctuary and if it is not killed within 10 seconds it will destroy the Sanctuary entirely, then teleport to the next one. The Antipathy moves in the order west → north → south → east and when it returns in the second phase it will start from where it left off (the Sanctuaries will not regain health between each '''Necrotic Ritual'''). It is not the end of the world if it destroys one Sanctuary in each phase, but very important that it is only one. The Spites always spawn in the same locations near the west, north and south Sanctuaries, so it might be worth sending more people to the one where the Antipathy will appear. Should you be left with only the south and east Sanctuaries, it is strongly recommended to bait Ankka towards the east one, as the <span data-armory-embed="skills" data-armory-size="24" data-armory-inline-text="wiki" data-armory-ids="66824" title="Wall of Fear" style="display: inline-block; min-height: 24px; max-height: 24px; overflow: hidden; vertical-align: bottom;"></span> krait make the south Sanctuary very dangerous.
