* '''Mind Blast:''' Melee AoE. Targets hit will be inflicted with [[Paralysis]] for 10 seconds.
* '''Civilization Buster:''' Line AoE from Archaeotania's position. Only used when Archaeotania is flying around the stage.
* '''Touchdown:''' Proximity AoE. Immediately follows with '''Blizzard Breath'''.
* '''Tidal Wave:''' 3 icicles drop in random spots followed by a long knockback from the geyser on a side of the stage, then the 3 icicles dash at 3 random players, then 3 small, slow-moving tornadoes spawn. Getting hit by a tornado knocks you back a short distance and applies [[Windburn]] for 14 seconds.
** Knockbacks can be nullified with skills like Arm's Length and Surecast.
* '''Megaflare:''' Stack AoEs on 2-3 random players.
* When Archaeotania drops below 60% HP it will teleport away and summon 3 '''Ancient Aevis''' adds. Keep an eye out for '''Civilization Buster'''s while killing them.
* '''Gigaflare:''' Enrage. When Archaeotania drops below 15% HP it spawns 3 '''Aether''' adds and tethers itself to them, making itself invulnerable until all 3 '''Aether''' adds are killed. Players have 120 seconds to kill these adds and Archaeotania.
