*'''Bloody Scratch''': Raid-wide physical damage. | |||
*'''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. | |||

*'''Elevate and Eviscerate''': The boss tethers a random player, targeting it for a physical attack ('''Impact''') that will stun, knock up the player and cause them to land where the arrow is pointing.

*'''Shockwave''': Telegraphed radial knockback dealing magical damage. Position to be knocked back safely or use knockback resist. The knockback is slightly less than half of the arena, and the boss always centers herself before the attack, so as long as you are near the boss and not between the boss and missing tile, you should be safe. | |||

*'''Leaping One-two Paw''': The boss uses the '''One-two Paw''' telegraphs but will also tether a point on the arena, indicating it will slide to that point and then resolve the half-room cleaves from its final position. Note that the boss will not turn or rotate, they will simply reposition with their current facing prior to the AoEs. | |||

“At Metem's invitation, you have entered the Ascension Arcadia Championship, a competition in which the greatest fighters of Alexandria face off in a bid to become grand champion. Yet your opponents wield feral souls to augment their strength, so you in turn must use the simulacra of past warriors to balance the scales. Your debut match is against Black Cat, a fellow rookie harnessing the power of Cath Palug, and if you are to seize victory against this feline foe, you shall need to be agile indeed...
— In-game description
AAC Light-heavyweight M1 is a level 100 raid introduced in patch 7.01 with Dawntrail.
Guide
Please note that players may fall off the arena to their deaths. Being hit with any avoidable AoEs will either inflict a stack of Vulnerability Up or Sustained Damage, along with possibly other effects.
The arena is a 4x4 grid of square tiles, which is important for some mechanics.
Claw in the Dark: Black Cat
- Bloody Scratch: Raid-wide physical damage.
- 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.
- Black Cat Crossing: The boss summons four glowing lines to its intercardinals or cardinals, followed by another four in the remaining areas. These indicate two sets of late telegraphed conal AoEs centered on them (despite the glowing indicators being lines rather than cones).
- Biscuit Maker: Telegraphed single-target physical tankbuster.
- Clawful: Stack marker AoE on a random player dealing magical damage.
- Mouser: The boss telegraphs nine sequential sets of two AoEs that each hit one tile of the arena. When a tile is hit, it will become damaged. If it is hit again, it will break and anyone who is on it will fall to their deaths. Some tiles will not be hit at all, while others will be hit once, and remaining will be hit twice and break. Two tiles will immediately regenerate afterwards. It appears that each quadrant of the arena will have at least 1 remaining tile in it after the attack, so players can focus on the intersection of the 4 tiles in a quadrant to try to identify which ones will be hit by 0, 1, or 2 attacks, and potentially when to dodge between them to avoid the attacks.
- Elevate and Eviscerate: The boss tethers a random player, targeting it for a physical attack (Impact) that will stun, knock up the player and cause them to land where the arrow is pointing. The player must position to be knocked onto a non-damaged tile, as landing on a damaged tile (indicated by the arrow and tile turning red) will cause it to break and them to fall off. Landing on a non-damaged tile will cause it to become damaged.
- This attack is used four times in a row, each time on a different target. Either all DPS or all supports will be targeted in sequence.
- Shockwave: Telegraphed radial knockback dealing magical damage. Position to be knocked back safely or use knockback resist. The knockback is slightly less than half of the arena, and the boss always centers herself before the attack, so as long as you are near the boss and not between the boss and missing tile, you should be safe.
- The arena will regenerate.
- Predaceous Pounce: The boss telegraphs several sequential line AoEs (paw tracks) and large circle AoEs that will briefly appear before the boss charges between them, executing the AoEs in the same order they appeared.
- Leaping One-two Paw: The boss uses the One-two Paw telegraphs but will also tether a point on the arena, indicating it will slide to that point and then resolve the half-room cleaves from its final position. Note that the boss will not turn or rotate, they will simply reposition with their current facing prior to the AoEs.
- Leaping Black Cat Crossing: Similar to Leaping One-two Paw but combines the movement with Black Cat Crossing instead.
- Grimalkin Gale - All players are targeted with a spread AoE marker. This commonly occurs during or after other mechanics, especially Predaceous Pounce, Leaping One-two Paw, and Leaping Black Cat Crossing.
- Mouser is used again, damaging or destroying several tiles.
- Copycat: The boss summons an untargetable clone of itself (Copy Cat).
- The clone will use Elevate and Eviscerate on a random player while the boss uses Overshadow, a stack line AoE on a random player dealing magical damage. Both attacks are used four times in a row. The knock-up from Elevate and Eviscerate will occur slightly before the line AoE goes off, and the target will be in the air when the line AoE goes off, so the player targeted for Elevate and Eviscerate can completely ignore where the line AoE stack is when positioning their arrow for knockback, as they will not be hit by it regardless.
- The opposite role will be targeted by the clones compared to the first usage of Mouser.
- After the arena regenerates, Copycat is used again, but the clone will now use Predaceous Pounce instead.
- Mechanics repeat until the boss is defeated.
