What is a11s triggers?

Here's information about A11S triggers in a Markdown format:

A11S (Annihilation) is the final fight of the Abyssos raid tier in Final Fantasy XIV. Like most high-end raid encounters, A11S features a complex series of mechanics and triggers that players need to understand and react to in order to succeed.

Key trigger categories include:

  • Phase Changes: Transitions between phases often involve specific mechanics that must be handled correctly to avoid wipes. Understanding the health percentage or scripted event that causes these changes is vital. See: Phase Changes

  • Stack Markers: Several attacks require players to stack together to split damage. Recognizing and quickly responding to these stack markers is crucial. Failing to stack can lead to fatal damage. See: Stack Markers

  • Spread Markers: Conversely, some attacks require players to spread out to avoid overlapping damage and debuffs. Reacting promptly to spread markers is also crucial for survival. See: Spread Markers

  • Tankbusters: High damage attacks targeted at the main tanks. Tanks need to use cooldowns appropriately, and healers need to be ready to provide sufficient healing. See: Tankbusters

  • Adds/Enemies: The appearance of new enemies (adds) during the fight is often a trigger for specific strategies, such as prioritizing their elimination or kiting them away from the group. Knowing when and where adds spawn is essential. See: Adds/Enemies

  • Arena Mechanics: Understanding how the arena itself changes during the fight (e.g., disappearing platforms, new hazards) is critical for positioning and survival. See: Arena%20Mechanics

  • Debuffs: Be aware of debuffs applied by the boss or adds, as these often require specific actions, such as cleansing, mitigation, or positioning adjustments. See: Debuffs

Effective communication and coordination are essential for successfully navigating these triggers in A11S.
