Stats / Weaknesses:

Face has no specific elemental weaknesses mentioned. Focus on mechanics.

Phases:

Initial Phase: Face uses 'Lines of Fire' and 'Temper's Flare'.
Mid Phase: Introduces 'Off My Lawn' and combines it with 'Lines of Fire'. 'Upside Down' may also occur, flipping the statues.
Late Phase: Continues with combined mechanics. 'Heart of Fire IV' (Tankbuster) is used throughout.

Strategy:

Lines of Fire: Pay attention to the statues and the AoE lines. Note the debuff color (blue/red) you receive. When the attack repeats from the other side, position yourself to receive the opposite debuff. Accumulating stacks of the same debuff deals heavy damage and can lead to a KO.
Temper's Flare: A party-wide attack. Heal through it and use shields to mitigate damage.
Upside Down: This mechanic flips all the Face statues. Be prepared to re-evaluate the statue colors and your positioning after this occurs, especially when it's combined with other mechanics.
Heart of Fire IV: A Tankbuster. Tanks should use defensive cooldowns to mitigate the heavy damage.
Off My Lawn: A knockback from the north or south, combined with player-targeted circle AoEs. Spread out to avoid stacking damage. Be mindful of the knockback direction, especially when it's combined with 'Lines of Fire', to ensure you don't get knocked into the wrong debuff AoE.
Tanking: Always have a defensive cooldown ready for 'Heart of Fire IV'. Avoid stacking mechanics and focus on managing debuffs.
Healing: Be prepared for consistent party-wide damage from 'Temper's Flare' and other AoEs. The Healer plays a crucial role; if the Healer dies, it can lead to a wipe unless the boss is near death.
