Mechanics

Overview

SD-0 is one of the easiest world bosses in the game, but at lower levels can still be a challenge. It is recommended to bring the standard group composition of both a main-tank and an off-tank, and a fair amount of DPS and healers.

The enrage timer is 8 minutes, so if you're all around level 18 you'll need a large group of people to successfully kill SD-0.

This fight is a simple tank-and-spank, with very few mechanics.

All Roles

Proximity Laser will place a red target reticule on two of the people in your operations group and will damage anyone who is near to these two players. The closer the two who are targeted stand together, the more damage the surrounding players will take.

The laser changes color based on how close the two targeted players are to each other. Have the two people who are targeted run away from the rest of the ops group and away from each other to minimize damage taken.

Tanks

The stack-able Ionized Stream debuff SD-0 applies to the tank will increase damage taken by 5% per stack, so the off-tank should taunt SD-0 off the main-tank before the debuff reaches 5 stacks. Have the off-tank hold aggro until the debuff wears off before swapping back.

Healers

There is nothing to cleanse in this fight, so focus your heals on the tank with the most stacks of Ionized Stream and any DPS who are taking damage from Proximity Laser.
