— In-game description
AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) is a level 100 raid introduced in patch 7.05 with Dawntrail. The raid is also known as M1S.
Phases & Abilities
Claw in the Dark: Black Cat
Please note that players may fall off the arena to their deaths. Being hit with any avoidable AoEs will either inflict a stack of -25% 
Damage Down or 
Sustained Damage, along with possibly other effects.
The arena is a 4x4 grid of square tiles, which is important for some mechanics.
Strategy
Each player should be assigned a clock position, with DPS on intercardinals and supports on cardinals, along with light parties. Pairs of players consisting of 1 DPS and 1 support, each with an assigned cardinal and intercardinal, should also be designated.
- Quadruple Crossing: The boss will hit the four closest players with conal AoEs that deal high physical damage and inflict
Slashing Resistance Down. This attack repeats, requiring the other four players to bait the AoEs and prevent lethal damage. Afterwards, four late telegraphed conal AoEs will hit the same locations as the first set of baited AoEs, then the second set, requiring the party to dodge.
- A common strategy is to have the four DPS bait the first set of AoEs in their assigned intercardinals inside the boss's hitbox while the supports stay outside the hitbox in their cardinals. Then switch with the four supports, who will bait the second set in the intercardinals while the DPS are out. Aftewards, players can easily dodge both sets of follow-up AoEs in the cardinals.
- Biscuit Maker: A heavy-hitting telegraphed physical tankbuster that inflicts Slashing Resistance Down. This attack repeats, requiring a tank swap during the cast or an invulnerability cooldown.
- Nine Lives: The boss's next attack will be stored in a clone she will summon later. This will be indicated with the
Nine Lives buff on the boss. - One-two Paw: The boss raises a glowing claw to its left or right, followed by the other side, indicating two sequential half-room cleaves. Players must remember which side was safe first for an upcoming mechanic, as the boss will store this attack (indicated by the
One-two Memory buff). - Soulshade: The boss summons two untargetable clones of herself and tethers to them, transmitting its One-two Paw pattern to each. The clones will be 135 degrees from each other, one on a cardinal and the other on an intercardinal. Each clone will have an orange ring denoting where it is facing.
- Both clones will use One-two Paw the same was as the boss did, leaving a slice of the arena safe, followed by a slice directly across. Players must initially be to the left or to the right of both clones to dodge the first cleaves, then move across to dodge the second.
- Immediately before the cleaves resolve, the boss will use Nine Lives again, storing an upcoming attack.
- Double Swipe or Quadruple Swipe: During the second set of cleaves, the boss will cast one of these attacks. Double Swipe is a shared damage AoE targeting both healers and should be taken in assigned light parties, while Quadruple Swipe is a shared damage AoE targeting all DPS or all supports and should be taken in assigned pairs.
- Players need to remember whether Double or Quadruple Swipe was used as the boss will store this attack for later (indicated by
Two-swipe Memory for Double Swipe or 
Four-swipe Memory for Quadruple Swipe. Note that the buff icons are misleading.)
- Soulshade: The boss will summon an untargetable clone of herself at the north, transferring its stored attack for later.
- Leaping Quadruple Crossing: The boss will tether a point to its east or west and then jump to it, using Quadruple Crossing from its new location, which can be resolve similarly as before.
- During the second set of follow-up cleaves, the stored Double Swipe or Quadruple Swipe will resolve, so players will either need to be in light parties or pairs.
- Bloody Scratch: Hard-hitting physical raidwide damage, requiring mitigation.
