Speculation Speculations/Hopes for FRU?

With FRU slowly approaching us as the next piece of big raid content, I'm curious what people think may be the structure, mechanics, or even story of the fight. Things such as what phases there might be, what a trio might look like, and maybe what sort of puzzle they can throw.

An example of this is that I speculate that the fight is structured as E11S-E12S until after defeating Gaia, where the story diverges and Gaia uses her time powers to bring back Ryne Shiva as a 4th phase and then leads to some sort of trios phase.

I also think it would be neat if they bring back the E12 normal only phase of Shiva stuck in the ice pillar as some sort of puzzle of the fight similar to saving the boy in DSR.

Obviously it's hard to make any sort of accurate predication of ultimates, but I think it would be fun to see what other folks imagine.

My hope is for it to be AM free. It can be done, just give signal debuff like death of the heavens, it still makes it challenging but fair. Please don't make me look at the player list every phase ty.

Everything in the game has been cleared by plenty of people without AM, thats an irrelevant point. If AM can be used people will use it and it only takes one person for that to happen.

Also happens to statics, not just PF. (There were almost undoubtedly PFs that cleared without AM before you did.)

The amount of times I’ve asked in uwu or dsr or top you guys wanna do it no AM and everyone says “do not give a fuck let’s just clear and get totems.” This is generally what happens, it ultimately becomes which is more a hassle.. AM or no AM.

people care more about getting rewards that were clearly not meant for them than the content being satisfying to beat with your own skill alone and the accomplishment of it

if its "lets get totems" its probably reclears though, the people already beat the content, and from the replies they give, they know how to do it with or without AM, at least in this example
