	3) Disintegration Ray: Probably Anti-Matter's most annoying attack is his Disintegration Ray which targets one player at a time. A warning will appear above the players head that he has been targeted for disintegration. The character will suffer 3 (or 4) hits of increasing damage and if the victim dies (even due to normal combat damage), Anti-Matter will heal from the event. This can be as much as 20% of Hit Points from one single target and is the main reason for this phase to be the most tedious. Thus, if you are targeted with the Disintegration Ray, move quickly out of Antimatter's line of sight and well away from combat. Do not try to survive through it even if you can, it's not worth the risk to have the AV heal to this amount. Players who survive the disintegration will be drained of endurance.		3) Disintegration Ray: Probably Anti-Matter's most annoying attack is his Disintegration Ray which targets one player at a time.

	Three times, at 75%, 50% and 25% of his health, Anti-Matter will freeze time and retreat to small bunkers around the Truck Depot. During this event, he will rapidly regenerate health. The event will temporarily immobilize everyone in the league. Use this time to tab and target one of several clusters of terminals around one of the three nearby bunkers. There are 3 (or 4?) terminals around the bunkers (each side, so be sure to clear both sides) which need to be destroyed. Do so as rapidly as possible to stop the regeneration process. Don't be disheartened if the first time he fully heals, it's likely that insufficient damage has been inflicted to stop this.

	~~The first phase begins, after~~ players have spawned on the map, either ~~by moving towards~~ Reactor Hope or automatically after 5 minutes. A cut-scene with Anti-Matter will play unless every participant has already done this trial before. The first goal of this phase is to defeat 30 WarWorks that spawn around the Reactor. When the required number is met, all WarWorks will despawn for a few seconds before the second part of this phase begins. ~~Around~~ the base of Reactor Hope~~, small boxes of electronics are scattered, that~~ start to glow shortly after the WarWorks despawn. ~~Along with the glowing boxes~~, new groups of WarWorks spawn again. Clicking one of the glowing boxes will bestow the player with a temporary power "Power Cell".

This temporary power is needed to fully charge 10 terminals on Reactor Hope in order to re-establish the magnetic containment and prevent the Reactor from blowing up.

	The 10 terminals are located on the small walkways pointing towards the reactors core on all 3 levels of Reactor Hope, and all are guarded by small groups of ~~Warworks~~. ~~Before~~ a terminal can be charged~~, these WarWorks have to be defeated as~~ they prevent players from using ~~their temporary powers~~. Each terminal needs 3 charges to be fully recharged~~, with a~~ small message ~~appearing~~ over the terminal when a power is used, showing it's current recharge level (33%, 66% or full). Power Cells and WarWorks at the base of the Reactor respawn roughly every 2 minutes.

Power Cells and WarWorks at the base of the Reactor respawn roughly every 2 minutes.

	After 3 minutes, Anti-Matter will make his appearance and fly around the area, attacking players. Additionally, every 30 second, the whole map is hit with an Anti-Matter Pulse for large amounts of damage. The time of the next Pulse is shown in the HUD. The only safe location from the Pulse is the in-map hospital, so before leaving the hospital it is good to look out for the Pulse timer. If Anti-Matter is damaged by players, the Pulse will grow in strength.		After 3 minutes, Anti-Matter will make his appearance and fly around the area, attacking players.

-Anti-Matter will re-appear fully healed (if players did damage him in the previous phases) at the truck depot. His arsenal of attacks is devastating and he is surely no walk-over. Anti-Matter will entangle each player in the map with one of two possible powers, either Alpha Entanglement or Beta Entanglement. Players of opposite entanglements close to each other will continue to damage themselves. Also this powers stack so the more players of the opposite entanglement are close to you, the more damage you will receive. Additionally, Anti-Matter will command his space station to fire an Obliteration Beam onto the battlefield. Before the beam hits the ground, a huge green circle will appear and players are advised to leave this circle as fast as possible. Characters who stay in the circle will be held and afterwards crushed by the beam itself. Players who left the area of the beam in time should pay attention to not run into its field again, as they can still be damaged after the hold phase ended. Last but not least is Anti-Matters most annoying attack, a Disintegration Ray, targeting one player at a time. A warning will appear above the players head that he has been targeted for disintegration. The character will suffer 3 (or 4) hits of increasing damage and should the victim die for any reason, Anti-Matter will heal off the disintegrated matter. This can be as much as 20% of Hit Points from one single target and is the main reason for this phase to be the most tedious. Players who survive the disintegration will be drained of endurance.
+Anti-Matter will re-appear fully healed (if players did damage him in the previous phases) at the truck depot. His arsenal of attacks is devastating and he is surely no walk-over. Anti-Matter will have the following powers:
-Once at 75%, 50% and 25% of hitpoints, Anti-Matter will freeze time and retreat to small bunkers around the Truck Depot, and start healing rapidly. During this time, 4 small consoles will appear at the base of the bunker Anti-Matter heals at. The moment he starts healing, the freeze will break and players can rush to the bunker for destroying the consoles. When all consoles are destroyed, Anti-Matter's healing will be interrupted and he will fight again.
+) Entanglement:  Each player will be randomly assigned with either Alpha or Beta Entanglement. Players of opposite entanglements close to each other (Alpha near Beta, Beta near Alpha) will to damage each other. This effect stacks so more players of the opposite entanglement inflict more damage.  However, this phase of the trial is so fast paced that it is impossible to take the time to really pay attention to this, and any decent incarnate league should have enough healing that this effect is negligible.  However, if it is troublesome, simply have Alpha move to the north of wherever Antimatter is and Beta move south.
