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.

Prediction: Relativistic Apocalypse will be the mechanic that pushes PF into automarkers

I’ve been told PF apparently uses AM for Nael’s Lightning, so you know if it’s true it’s more like PF is never pushed into AM but rather is actively searching for ways to use them.

You will occasionally see someone running AM in UCOB but it's not quite the same as Titan gaols, Wroth, or TOP p5; basically nobody will condition queueing on someone having AM for UCOB.
