| + | The Hamidon was once a zealous scientist named Hamidon Pasalima. Using hideous dark magic and his own genetic genius, he transformed himself into the god-like monster that would spawn the [[Devouring Earth]] and threaten the entire world. In a Q&A done by Razer, developer Black Scorpion implied that Hamidon had somehow been able to tap into the [[Incarnate|Well of The Furies]] and turned himself into an Incarnate, which could explain his appearance and massive power. |

| − | === Roles ===
| + | For more information, please see [[Hamidon Raid]]. |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Raid Leader ==== | + | == See Also == |
| | | | |
| − | Single person who coordinates the raid. This person has the responsibility of organizing the various teams, and coordinating the timing of certain actions within the raid.

| − | | + | * [[Hamidon Raid]] |
| − | ==== Targeter ====
| + | * [[Hamidon Origin Enhancements]] |
| − | | + | |
| − | In order to concentrate the fire from attackers, a single designated targeter is used. All attackers are instructed to attack only through the targeter.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== PA Drop Team ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The PA (Phantom Army) Drop team is made up of Illusion Controllers who hover over Hamidon and drop PAs down into him. The purpose of this is to have the PAs grab as much agro as possible, removing it from the rest of the attacking players.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Agro Team ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A single Tank or regen Scrapper, and two to three healers. Their objective is to grab the agro from the Hamidon core and keep it off of the rest of the attackers.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Phases ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Mito Phase ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This phase is to clear out all the Mitochondria that are defending Hamidon. One by one, at the direction of the Targeter, the Mitos are defeated.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Hold Phase ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Hamidon has defenses that can summon large numbers of additional Mitochondria to defend himself. The only way that has been discovered to avoid this is to ensure that Hamidon is securely Held continuously once his health goes under 50%. The Hold phase is the phase where the heroes spam their Holds in order to get Hamidon Held.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Attack Phase ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Traditionally the third phase, once Hamidon is Held, is to have the remaining heroes begin to attack him in order to defeat him. Currently, some servers are using attack-less variants, including simply Holding Hamidon to defeat (known as the Death Cuddle on some servers), or something in the middle, with -Regen and -Resist debufs and max range attacks. Whichever variant is used, the idea is to bring Hamidon down to zero health while keeping him completely Held.
