Round 3

Now Raikou finally focuses its efforts on Sleast, but the Gastrodon shrugs off the foe's blows with ease, behind the safety of the screens. Meanwhile, the team keeps pressing up the offense. However, suddenly the legendary beast shields itself in a lightning globe, and starts channeling a dangerous amount of electricity!

Megawhal: Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) > Drill Run (Raikou)

Tormeldon: Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) > Earth Power (Raikou)

Basically attack and do not look back. The next round can serve as a little breather if needed.

I don't remember if Raikou acts while Thunder Shield is up but no point in taking the chance when I can sub more or less for free

Round 4

Utilitand lets loose the charged globe of electricity, greatly damaging the foe's barrier. The raid mates do the rest, shattering it with ease. Then, Megawhal quickly disrupts Raikou's spell, allowing the rest of the squad to hit the legendary beast while it is still dazed. However, even if this assault took a chunk out of Raikou's health, it also seems like it made the beast even more furious!

Utilitand: Reflect (Megawhal | Sleast | Sludgestrike) > Heal Pulse (Sleast)

This round should be a bit of a breather round. Gallade does not need to do much other than renew Light Screen once it fades, and everything else on your team can take a Chill or something. Also yeah I hope you do not mind me giving Rhyperior the Lightning Ball since it can live four charges and it will mean that Colossoil can get away with not chilling for the rest of the raid. Maybe just maybe we can actually win this in seven rounds but your energy levels are a bit drained.

Round 5

The team takes a moment to recover forces and renew defenses. Even if Raikou's might is stronger than ever, Sleast manages to stand up to the beast, even thanks to Utilitand's heals. Then, the squad goes back to the offense, ready to finish off the powerful foe.

"You cannot handle the thunder might!"

Sleast: Mud-Slap (Raikou) > Earth Power (Raikou)
IF Raikou is untargetable when you act A1, THEN use Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) A1.

Megawhal: Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) > Drill Run (Raikou)
IF Raikou is untargetable when you act A2, THEN use Earth Power (Raikou) A2.

Tormeldon: Chill > Earth Power (Raikou)

Utilitand: Chill > Heal Pulse (Sleast)

Sadly Camerupt has to chill once to make it to the end so I guess now is the chance (all my other damage dealers can make it to the end... I could Ember but lol)... Gallade should keep Rhyperior healthy but otherwise, attack. Looks like Excadrill and Rhyperior might need one last chill to make it to the end however. Same with Gallade? Nido however is fine to the finish.

Raikou keeps blasting Sleast with all its might, but the Gastrodon shrugs off the blows like they were nothing. Meanwhile, his team mates lay the hurt on the foe, leaving it weakened enough for a final onslaught to take it out once for all.

"It is all up to what you want to do now. Personally? I guess I can finally not have to worry about this shocking place ever again soon..."

Sleast: Mud-Slap (Raikou) > Earth Power (Raikou)
IF Raikou is untargetable when you act A1, THEN use Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) A1.

Megawhal: Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) > Drill Run (Raikou)
IF Raikou is untargetable when you act A2, THEN use Earth Power (Raikou) A2.

Tormeldon: Eruption (Raikou) > Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph)
IF Raikou is untargetable when you act A1, THEN use Earth Power (Raikou) A1.

Utilitand: Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) > Earth Power (Raikou)

It is up to you now Flamestrike. If you seriously want to end the raid this round at the risk of a really low chance of being screwed over idk, throw the lightning ball at Raikou. If you want to play it safe in case we do not wrap it up this round, pass the ball to Fidgit. Either way, Heal Pulses are no longer necessary for the rest of the raid.

Flamestrike · Aug 26, 2014

"I've been waiting two years to finish off this beast. I can wait one more round."

Mindstrike: chill -> chill
Sludgestrike: Drill Run (Raikou) -> Earth Power (Raikou)
If Raikou is untargetable A1 use chill instead
Stonestrike: Pass Lightning Ball to Fidgit -> chill
If Raikou is untargetable A2 use chill instead
Drillstrike: chill -> chill
If Raikou is untargetable A2 use chill instead

Probably playing it safer than we actually need to, but this is my third time fighting Raikou and unless I'm helping someone else out I really don't want to make it a fourth.

Its_A_Random · Aug 27, 2014

Flamestrike has never beaten CoTHM and he has beaten the Ruby Guardian before. Flamestrike should also get reputation right?

Thanks for refereeing! ^_^

zarator · Aug 27, 2014

Its_A_Random yeah you're right about Flamestrike. I also updated his reputation standing.

Flamestrike · Aug 27, 2014

I should also get the Cliff of Thunder HM achievement, which I think is implied by IAR's post but hasn't been mentioned in the reffing. At any rate, thanks for being an awesome raid partner IAR (maybe I can make it up to you and help out with WFP HM next?) and thanks for reffing zara!

zarator · Aug 27, 2014

Flamestrike: Actually I checked and yes, you had only the Normal one.

Flamestrike · Aug 27, 2014

So I do get the achievement then? Sorry if I'm being dense but I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me lol

zarator · Aug 27, 2014

Flamestrike: You do get the achievement reward. 15 CCs unless I'm mistaken?

Flamestrike · Aug 27, 2014

Cool, thanks again and sorry for the confusion.
