Anom

Anom is the thirteenth encounter in the Vryllon Citadel raid, serving as the third and final encounter of the Reality Compromised wing. After defeating the Universal Game and wrecking the machine behind the Reality Matrix, the adventurers are plunged into a realm beyond comprehension by an unknown entity made of the Paradox Equation itself.
Anom's fight involves a mechanic called Comprehension which functions as a measure to both withstand Anom's attacks as well as perceive him during the battle. The first phase involves fighting off several adds before bringing Anom out of his console before dealing with Anom himself for the next two phases. On Rising difficulty, Anom begins to destabilize and raiders are forced to collect Paradox Equation glyphs to stay alive.

==Abilities==
During the entire fight, Anom's battle is affected by Comprehension.
*Comprehension: An ability that stacks to 10. Players start off with 10 stacks (7 on Rising) and for each stack, they can deal 10% x stacks of their maximum damage to Anom as well as the adds. Specific attacks and mechanics lower Comprehension and some abilities can cause the Comprehension mechanic to gain stacks.
=== Phase I: The Paradox Machine ===
In this phase, Anom is unattackable and stuck inside a machine, while Proxies form to fight the raid. Anom however establishes sentience and still attacks the raid.
