“In the midst of your crowning ceremony, you are challenged by none other than the electrifying Wicked Thunder, sister of Yaana and former heavyweight fighter of fame. The Ascension Arcadia president has authorized a special exhibition match for this thunderous clash, and now the realm waits with bated breath, wondering who will emerge victorious: the unstoppable upstart, or the neoteric witch?
— In-game description
AAC Light-heavyweight M4 is a level 100 raid introduced in patch 7.01 with Dawntrail.
Phases & Abilities
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.
Neoteric Witch: Wicked Thunder
- Wrath of Zeus: Raid-wide magical damage.
- Sidewise Spark: The boss gathers lightning to one of her sides with spinning electrope cubes, indicating a half-room cleave.
- Shadows's Sabbath: The boss spawns a blue ring that will fall on a cardinal, summoning an untargetable clone of herself that will telegraph Sidewise Spark. In later usages of this attack, the boss will sequentially summon four clones while using another Sidewise Spark herself.
- Wicked Jolt: Line AoE magical tankbuster.
- The boss will jump to one wall and summon a large cannon that will be slightly tilted in one direction, indicating that the three columns in front of the cannon will be hit with a multi-hit magical AoE (Stampeding Thunder). Afterwards, it will use a late telegraphed AoE hitting the same three columns, which will destroy the ground and cause anyone hit to fall to their deaths.
- In the remaining intact column, the boss will use Threefold Blast, indicating three sequential half-room cleaves based on which side of her cannon receives a blue or orange marker. In later uses, she will telegraph four cleaves (Fourfold Blast) or five cleaves (Fivefold Blast). This may also be followed by baited circle AoE telegraphs on players, or spread markers on each player (Thunderstorm) inflicting
Lightning Resistance Down II, making overlap lethal. - Afterwards, the arena will be restored to its original state.
- Wicked Bolt: Five-hit stack AoE dealing magical damage.
- The boss will then equip a pair of electrope wings.
- Bewitching Flight: The boss jumps to one wall and telegraph five clusters of purple energy on her wings, leaving gaps in between. These indicate line AoEs with the gaps safe. The line AoEs will leave behind purple electricity lines which will sequentially expand then explode as a follow-up wide line AoE (Burst) through it. During this, baited circle AoEs will appear on random players' locations.
- Shadow's Sabbath: If the boss uses this action when she has wings, she will summon a winged clone of herself. The boss and the the clone will move to adjacent walls where each will use Betwitching Flight, causing a cross pattern of line AoEs.
- Witch Hunt: Spawns a series of fast-moving red circle AoE telegraphs that spiral inward or outwards.
- Soaring Soulpress: Stack marker on a random player, dealing physical damage.
- When the boss's health is sufficiently low, she will again summon a cannon and destroy all but one column of the arena. The boss will also receive
Directional Disregard, making her hitbox omnidirectional. - Wicked Hypercannon: A split damage persistent line AoE hitting the entirety of the remaining ground of the arena. Healing and mitigation are required. The boss will keep using this attack until she dies or the party wipes. In between each use, there will be baited circle AoEs on random players.
