| − | Blink cannot be attacked at first and will run in straight lines through the wall portals, spraying a steam area-based magic attack around him, which can be extremely powerful. One pillar in the room may be raised by the party at any one time. Hiding behind this pillar or staying far enough away makes you safe from his steam. If Blink runs into a pillar his combat level is then displayed and he becomes attackable for a short time, using melee, magic, and ranged attacks against the party. While he is still running, it is recommended to have '''protect/deflect range '''on as it halves the damage of his steam attack. |

| + | At the beginning of the battle Blink cannot be harmed; he will appear at one wall portal and run across the room to the portal opposite it, spraying a steam-like area-based attack around him, which can hit for 500+ damage, and can't be recoiled through [[Vengeance]]. While he is still running, it is recommended to have '''protect/deflect range '''on as it halves the damage of his steam attack; hiding behind a raised pillar or staying far enough away from him will fully negate the damage. In order to stop Blink's rampage and start damaging him, the team needs to raise one of the tile/pillars directly in his path. Once Blink hits it and stops, he will become attackable. |

| + | Blocking Blink is the hardest part of this battle; only one pillar in the room can be raised by the party at any time, and there is only a short period of time to raise the pillar in. In order to get advance warning for the route Blink will take, players can check the minimap; before the boss makes his run across the room, his yellow dot marker will appear at one of the portals for a second. For efficient pillar raising, a team of 5 can spread out to the '''4 corners''' of the room, each person taking responsibility for raising '''the pillar of his or her corner + the 2 adjacent perimeter pillars'''. The last person can act as a backup if one person dies. Alternatively, a single player can stand in the center of the room, wait for blink to appear, and quickly run to raise a pillar in his path. This takes split-second timing, and guarentees that the player will take the full force of his steam attack, but it can be done by an experienced player. |
||
| − | A great way to predict which portal Blink will come out from, check the minimap for a yellow dot. It will stay at a spot for exactly one second, before he starts making a run for it. This helps locate where he will run to (unless he's coming from a corner), and have enough time to raise the selected pillar. |
||
| − | While he is available to fight after running into a pillar, he will once in a while shout out "H..Here it comes!" which gives you a couple seconds to let you block his attack that can hit through prayer. You can run behind one of the platforms in the room, raise the pillar, and hide from his view, lay a gatestone down and teleport shortly after the words disappear, or simply just teleport out of the room. When he shouts "Kapow!", you won't receive any damage. |
||
| − | + | Note that the clickable areas of the tiles are larger than the graphics of the tiles themselves, so players should try to use the minimap when moving around the room, to avoid accidentally raising a pillar. |
|
| + | |||
| − | Blink is considerably strong against magic attacks, so it's more advantageous to use a weapon that takes advantage of his weakness to stab. |
||
| + | Once Blink is stopped, he becomes rather weak. Most players choose to [[Soul Split]] this form, since his offensive powers are negligible. He attacks with mage, range, and melee, but is inaccurate and will rarely hit above 200. His only notable attack is a special attack, which he precedes by saying, "H..Here it comes!" When he says this, the players should immediately hide, either by raising a pillar and standing behind it, quickly dropping a personal gatestone and teleporting to it after his words disappear, or simply teleporting out of the room altogether. He will then shout "Kapow!", and release an unblockable, hard hitting magic attack on everyone not hiding. (Note that this hit can be recoiled, so tanking it with [[Vengeance]] is also an option.) |

Blink is a Dungeoneering boss monster that can be fought on the Warped floors of Daemonheim, beginning at floor 48 and requiring a Dungeoneering level of 95 to encounter and fight. He is a crazed human test subject, driven mad by his love for portal magic, which is prominent both in his behaviour and means of fighting.
Blink's room has a distinctive appearence; there are 16 portals, 4 on each wall, and strangely colored tiles on the ground in straight lines between them. A player can click on one of the colored tiles to cause it to rise, revealing a pillar.
At the beginning of the battle Blink cannot be harmed; he will appear at one wall portal and run across the room to the portal opposite it, spraying a steam-like area-based attack around him, which can hit for 500+ damage, and can't be recoiled through Vengeance. While he is still running, it is recommended to have protect/deflect range on as it halves the damage of his steam attack; hiding behind a raised pillar or staying far enough away from him will fully negate the damage. In order to stop Blink's rampage and start damaging him, the team needs to raise one of the tile/pillars directly in his path. Once Blink hits it and stops, he will become attackable.
Blocking Blink is the hardest part of this battle; only one pillar in the room can be raised by the party at any time, and there is only a short period of time to raise the pillar in. In order to get advance warning for the route Blink will take, players can check the minimap; before the boss makes his run across the room, his yellow dot marker will appear at one of the portals for a second. For efficient pillar raising, a team of 5 can spread out to the 4 corners of the room, each person taking responsibility for raising the pillar of his or her corner + the 2 adjacent perimeter pillars. The last person can act as a backup if one person dies. Alternatively, a single player can stand in the center of the room, wait for blink to appear, and quickly run to raise a pillar in his path. This takes split-second timing, and guarentees that the player will take the full force of his steam attack, but it can be done by an experienced player.
Note that the clickable areas of the tiles are larger than the graphics of the tiles themselves, so players should try to use the minimap when moving around the room, to avoid accidentally raising a pillar.
Once Blink is stopped, he becomes rather weak. Most players choose to Soul Split this form, since his offensive powers are negligible. He attacks with mage, range, and melee, but is inaccurate and will rarely hit above 200. His only notable attack is a special attack, which he precedes by saying, "H..Here it comes!" When he says this, the players should immediately hide, either by raising a pillar and standing behind it, quickly dropping a personal gatestone and teleporting to it after his words disappear, or simply teleporting out of the room altogether. He will then shout "Kapow!", and release an unblockable, hard hitting magic attack on everyone not hiding. (Note that this hit can be recoiled, so tanking it with Vengeance is also an option.)
Blink will remain in his vulnerable state for only a little while, and then teleport away and resume running around the room.
Blink has good ranged defense; despite being a mage, his defense makes the Hexhunter bow ineffective. However, melee works well. Sundering Strike can make this battle very fast, but familiars make it hard to raise the pillars in the room, so players should dismiss their bloodragers after using the scrolls.
