Brief Event Overview & Strategy
For this event, we have to deal with Captain Tita, her troops and the various tactics they employ.
There are four troop formations. Troop formations consists of 10 warriors, 1 cleric and 1 wizard. Initially, one formation aggros us while the remainder are non-combative.
Captain Tita becomes active if one formation is killed entirely, or more than half of all the soldiers are killed, or after six minutes elapses from troop formation.
Once Tita is active, her soldiers break ranks and it's go time. She has various AEs including directional ones.
We must kill all the troops and Captain Tita to defeat the event.

When Mayor Livio flees and Captain Tita takes over:
- Soldiers are perma-rooted; attackable by melee, but not by range or spells.
- August Magio (wizards) and August Vitali (clerics) adds are immune to all damage, but continue using their aforementioned spells.
Note: Firiona Vie and allies are here to assist us (casting beneficial spells). However, troop adds can attack them.
Captain Tita
When Captain Tita activates, all remaining troops become un-rooted and aggro.
Be aware:
- Whenever a trooper dies, the mob's most hated target goes to the top of Titas hatelist.
- If Captain Tita is kited, she casts Tendon Cut (http://raidloot.com/Spells.aspx?id=48055) on her target.
- If Captain Tita is idle for 30 seconds, the event resets.
The following AEs are in play at various HP of Captain Tita
