Introduction
This guide covers active strategies and rotations for the Rex Matriarchs. There are two main strategies:
- Hybrid killing multiple Matriarchs
• Higher KPH at the cost of significantly higher effort
• Only applies to Rathis/Orikalka/Pthentraken (Osseous has a separate arena)
- Camping a single Matriarch
• Simpler and uses only 1 combat style at the cost of lower KPH
Strategy 1: Hybrid killing multiple Matriarchs
Alternate between a pair of Matriarchs to minimise wasted time during respawns. It is suggested to follow the rotations listed for each boss in the below section Strategy 2: Camping a single Matriarch.
Top tips:
⬥ If killing Rathis, you can target Rathis from range while moving towards her, and use defensives to build 100% adrenaline for your opening
(example)
⬥ If killing Rathis/Pthentraken, ensure you travel at the edge of the arena to prevent aggression from Orikalka
Hybrid Presets
Perked hybrid armour such as
