Discussion Question about agraios mechanic
Once the 3 players get the temporality debuffs and one goes to get the alignment, can the 2 debuffed players not getting the alignment jump through the rings they see as blue? Or can debuffed players just not jump through any ring at all?

When the buff named boss shows their attack, the player with the corresponding buff can see the one activated ring before they align. This is much faster than having the two other buffed players call out rings. For example, if Cyclical is the boss, the player with the Cyclical buff can look at the rings, find the true one (three in this example), and say all but three, then pick up the align. Once they align, they can no longer see the one activated ring, so it must be done before aligning.
Try this on your next run, it is super quick.

as someone who has cleared trio, you're absolutely correct
not sure why morons downvoted you, but that's probably because they haven't even cleared the encounter

Yeah, I told my teammates that and they didn't believe me lol. But buffed players absolutely can't jump through any rings? Kind of annoying there are 4 rings and 3 players available :/

Honestly having one player go through two rings should not be a problem. There are more than enough Minotaurs and if your plate players don’t just spawn kill the Minotaurs they tend to move closer to the rings making it even easier to grab the extra chronon and dunk

Someone also said that eager edging thru more than one might double deposit but I havn't tested it myself

What would you mean by align? When they go to dunk under the boss once they know which one is shooting?

Players with plate buffs cannot jump through the portals. They will die.

Having a Player with Temporality and a Chronon jump through one of the Rings will result in the Player dying, however, the Ring does successfully receive the Chronon despite the death. So in an environment where you’re tight for time or are speedrunning, you can sacrifice a rez in order to have another player activating the Rings.

Buffs. Debuffs negatively effect the player. Buffs make mechanics work.

If the other two go through rings they will die. They can only lose the debuff by being inside of the vex reflect bubble.
