VIGILANT GUARDIAN BOSS GUIDE

Vigilant Guardian is the first boss of the instance.

• Defeating Vigilant Guardian unlocks Dausegne, Skolex and Artificer Xy’mox.

Overview: The Vigilant Guardian will activate Sentries to attack players periodically while employing its own defense routines. Throughout the encounter the Vigilant Guardian will [Expose] its core, inflicting lethal damage to all players not shielded by an Automated Defense Matrix.
When Automa are defeated, their energy is automatically redistributed to the next largest [Powered Down] Automa. Automa restored to full power in this way reactivate.

Phase One: 

• Manage and kill the adds that spawn as soon as possible
• Stay away from Refracted Blasts explosion zone
• Kill the big adds and run to the shield during Expose Core
• Use the Orbs that drop from the big adds on the boss

Phase Two:

• Tanks need to face the boss away from the raid and swap when boss reaches 50 energy
• Players targeted with Matter Dissolution need to run out of the raid and dodge orbs on their way back.

Phase Three: 

• The boss starts overloading doing ramping AoE Damage to the entire raid
• Use bloodlust and try to nuke the boss down
• Healers need to use big defensive cooldowns during this phase

And that is all you need to know to take down Vigilant Guardian on Normal and Heroic Difficulty.
