Ground SlamThe Guard pounds the earth, creating a circular area-of-effect that damages all nearby players dealing Physical Damage.
Flora Spore SeedThrows a seed at a target location; on impact it deals Physical Damage and spawns a Dendroid Twig.
Seed SpawnAfter landing, the Flora Spore Seed transforms into a hostile Dendroid Twig add.
Timber TossThe Dendroid Guard uproots a massive tree, slamming it into the ground to send up a shockwave before hurling it at enemies, dealing moderate Physical Damage to all struck by the flying timber.
Tactics
  • Interrupt the Guard’s Ground Slam whenever possible to reduce burst damage and ease healing.
  • After a Slam, move out of the telegraphed area to avoid the incoming Flora Spore Seed.
  • Spread out as a group to minimize how many players the seed can hit.
  • Deal with the Dendroid Twig add quickly after it spawns to prevent stacking damage.
  • Tanks can face the Guard during Slam but should either interrupt or step away at the start of the animation to help the healer.
