Preparations

  • Play a Build You Trust: Bring a build with strong single-target damage and survivability. If unsure, check out our Boss Tier list for suggestions.

Boss Mechanics

Grigoire deals mostly Lightning and Physical damage. Like most Lair bosses, he has a Stagger Bar; once it’s filled, it turns blue and will stun the boss temporarily, giving you a free damage window.

During the fight in addition to his default attacks, Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint, has a few mechanics to look out for:

  • Summon Animation (Arena Shockwave): When you summon Grigoire, the ground lights up in squares of electricity, starting from the outer edge and moving inward. Stand in the center until the last second, then dodge out before he lands.

  • Mace Slam: Red electrified circles appear on the ground, move out quickly before they detonate.

  • Mace Swing: Swings send out lingering sparking projectiles. Stay mobile to avoid getting chipped down.

  • Summons – Knights: He will spawn a pack of Knights that try to box you in. Use AoE skills to clear them fast before they overwhelm you.

  • Pylons: He can also summon lightnings between the pylons that electrify nearby ground. Avoid crossing the pylon connections until they disappear.
