How Often
|
Evasive Maneuver
|
Counter-Attack
|
Damage
|
| Claw Whack
|
Shen Gaoren raises both its arms and attacks the fort like a scythe vertically.
|
Only when close to the fort.
|
Do not get between its legs or in its center when it slowly raises its claws.
|
Attack the legs without having to be in the middle of it.
|
Nearly fatal to players. Damages the fort.
|
| Claw Hug
|
Shen Gaoren raises both its arms and attacks the fort in a "hugging" manner.
|
When near the fort.
|
Stay out of the front as it will do damage.
|
Attack from behind.
|
High, fort damage.
|
| Acid Volley
|
Shen Gaoren holds the ground with its pincers, aims and fires acid from its Lao-Shan Lung Skull.
|
When close to the fort, entering a new area, or near a ledge.
|
Just get far away around entrances. You can see he's about to do it when green light is emitting from its mouth.
|
After it fires, now is the time to place an Anti-Dragon Bomb on its skull by jumping from a ledge before it closes.
|
Very high. Damages the fort.
|
| Triple Acid Volley
|
Similar to the normal Acid Volley, except that the Gaoren takes a longer time to charge and will fire three acid balls at once instead of one. Lucky for beginner Gaoren-Repellers, this can only be done on high rank.
|
When entering a new area (High Rank) and sometimes, when near a ledge.
|
Run to a farther distance or predict where the balls will be fired then run between them.
|
If it performs it when entering an area, don't immediately place Large Barrel Bomb wait for it to finish firing, then place the bomb. If its doing it near a ledge, wait for it to finish firing, then jump on its back and place an Anti-Dragon Bomb.
|
Very high, Damages the fort.
|
| Leg Pound
|
Gaoren moves its four legs to move forward, or turn sideways, or to stand up.
|
Not an actual attack but can get hurt. It is a constant threat when he's walking.
|
Learn his step pattern and always be on the leg that just finished stepping. To avoid the quake effect, get the skill, Quake Resistance.
|
Focus on one leg and attack after the leg lands. Beware of the leg behind it if you're attacking the front legs.
|
Low
|
| Trample
|
Gaoren will pause where ever he is and begin stepping in place, in an attempt to harm players underneath him. He generally executes this move twice.
|
Moderate
|
Staying directly beneath him, at the very center is best, when avoiding this move.
|
The only place attackable now is the center, unless you're a Gunner, this is not a problem.
|
Medium.
|
| Claw Slam
|
Gaoren thrusts out his right arm first towards the general area in front of him, then his left.
|
Moderate, generally executed after Trample.
|
Standing directly beneath his torso or off to the sides is best when avoiding this move.
|
Get one of its legs from the sides and attack it.
|
High.
