 Graven Image I (+ 13 others) Mechanic

Lifts the statue in the background and tethers either all DPS or all supports, then casts Mystery Magic Blizzard and Fire.

The tethered players are knocked back away from north just before Mystery Magic Blizzard and Fire finishes casting. When Mystery Magic Blizzard and Fire finishes casting, Blizzard III Blowout and Flagrant Fire III Spread/Flagrant Fire III Stack resolve, though these can also be inverted (see Mystery Magic Blizzard and Fire for more information).

Afterwards, the statue fires a Wave Cannon at 2 random DPS and 2 random supports, inflicting Magic Vulnerability Up Magic Vulnerability Up on everyone hit and spawning towers underneath the targeted players. Soaking a tower deals heavy damage (Explosion) while failing to soak a tower inflicts Damage Down Damage Down on all players (Unmitigated Explosion).

 Mystery Magic Blizzard and Thunder (+ 2 others) Combination

Combines either Blizzard III Blowout and Thrumming Thunder III, or Blizzard III Blowout, and Flagrant Fire III Stack/Flagrant Fire III Spread.

During the cast, Kefka has two rings around him in the colour of the two elements used for the attack. Either one ring, no ring, or both rings may be decorated with question marks. This indicates that the mechanic is inverted. For the AoE mechanics (Blizzard III Blowout and Thrumming Thunder III) this means that the areas of the arena that do not have an AoE telegraph in them are unsafe and the AoE telegraphs are safe. For Flagrant Fire III Spread/Flagrant Fire III Stack, it means that the stack turns into a spread and vice-versa.

 Graven Image II (+ 13 others) Mechanic

The right side of the statue tethers to all supports and the left side to all DPS, or vice-versa.

After a Blizzard III Blowout, the left side of the statue hits all tethered players with Gravitas, a 2-player stack that inflicts Magic Vulnerability Up Magic Vulnerability Up and leaves behind a gravity well (puddle). After a short time, the right side of the statue now fires Vitrophyre at all tethered players. If any other player is hit by this, that player is knocked off the arena. If a gravity well is hit by it, it triggers Gravitational Explosion, wiping the party.

There is a brief interlude afterwards involving a Revolting Ruin III ×2 and Intemperate Will, after which all players are tethered again and the mechanic repeats.

After the second cycle of the mechanic, Double-trouble Trap Hit resolves and the gravity wells transform. After the gravity wells transform, they can be soaked (Gravitational Wave), which is likely related to the fight's puzzle mechanic but is currently still unknown.

 Tele-trouncing (+ 15 others) Mechanic

Inflicts Tele-Portent (North) Tele-Portent (North), Tele-Portent (East) Tele-Portent (East), Tele-Portent (South) Tele-Portent (South), or Tele-Portent (West) Tele-Portent (West) on all players.

All players are inflicted with two of these status effects. The second resolves three seconds after the first.

Exactly one player is inflicted with 2× Tele-Portent (North) Tele-Portent (North), one player with 2× Tele-Portent (South) Tele-Portent (South), etc. The other 4 players are inflicted with mixed Tele-Portent directions.

When any of these effects resolve, it places a sigil on the ground that teleports a player in the indicated direction if they step on it later.

Players are now tethered to either the left or right side of the statue. All players of the same role are tethered to the same side of the statue. The left side will inflict Confused Confused, the right side Sleep Sleep.

A few seconds after Double-trouble Trap Hit, tethers resolve. All tethered players are also targeted with a spread AoE at the same time, preventing stacking.
