umbradefensor Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 This probably sounds dumb but I don't completely understand what each color means in AOE circles. Obviously red is don't stand there you'll get hurt. Green is healing so jump in to get some heals. But what about purple? Or when crosses cover the ground, how do I know to stay inside the space or get out? White is another one that I've come across and knew because I was told ahead to get away from the group, which I did, but was the white color to indicate something unique? I've tried searching google and YouTube and there don't seem to be any guides just explaining how AOE works and positioning in PVE content.

SteveTheCynic Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 You left out a sort of orange-ish yellow colour, which is enemy attacks, like red, and there's also a light blue colour, which I've seen in the Guardian Droid boss in the Copero FP, and that's also like red. I'm not sure about purple and white, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeannaVoyager Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 The colors don't make much sense, but in general, stay out of them unless someone who knows the fight tells you to step into it (like with Operator in TfB). For example Steve mentioned orange being a no-no in Copero. However it's also marking a safe zone in Landing Party uprising in one boss fight. It also has a visible shield around it, but it's still a big orange circle I wouldn't normally aim to run into. My best guess is, the colors depend on who designed the fight.

LD_Little_Dragon Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 They're inconsistent too. Don't count on green always being your healer's aoe, there are several fights where green is damaging aoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yellow-orange was something I first saw in the boss fight in KotFE Chapter XVI. (If you know the chapter, you know the fight. If you don't know it, I won't spoil it by revealing who the boss was.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
