The Black Star is one of the Eldritch Horrors. It must be defeated before you can face The Searing Exarch.
Entry
Players must use the Polaric Invitation in their map device to fight The Black Star. The invitation drops after progressing through the Searing Exarch’s questline.
After finishing the The Searing Exarch quest, tradeable versions of the Polaric Invitation will drop by the boss in the 14th T14+ Map which is influenced by the Searing Exarch. This can be repeated every subsequent 28 maps.
The arena is called Polaric Void. Note that the quest invitation will open area level 79 and the repeatable and tradable version will open area level 83.
Skills
“Astral avalanche!” – a series of comets fall from the sky. Pillars on the red section will break when hit. Pillars on the blue section will shield the player from damage.
“Solar storm!” – a beam attack at the player. Pillars on the blue section will break when hit. Pillars on the red section will shield the player from damage.
“Simulacrum!”
“Deep space!”
“Star flare!”
“Replica!”
Strategy
When the Black Star uses Astral Avalanche, hide behind pillars on the blue section of the arena. (Pillars on the red section will break.) Ensure you are angled correctly away from the meteors. The meteors will always fall in the direction from the Black Star towards the center.
When the Black Star uses her Beam, hide behind pillars on the red section of the arena. (Pillars on the blue section will break.) The Black Star will strafe slightly while using this attack.
Be wary that being in the red section gives you a debuff that makes you more susceptible to fire damage, and being in the blue section makes you more susceptible to cold damage.
An alternate strategy is to gain stacks of the Annihilating Light debuff (red section) before Astral Avalanche and stacks of the Crushing Darkness debuff (blue section) before the Beam. Both of these debuffs will grant you less damage taken of the opposite element, allowing you to easily tank the damage if timed correctly.
