Strategies[]
Having fast movement is key. You will need to weave around the projectiles it shoots, and run away if it is chasing you to use disarming strike or culling strike, and to avoid the ground rupture.
Do not try to tank it. It will result in your death, especially when it is using culling strike, or activating wrath.
