I like to go in with juuuuust enough information to be dangerous. It's no secret I spoil stuff for myself in regards to mechanics and whatnot just because, as a tank, I think it's more important I not kill us all with placement and give us a chance at winning. That doesn't mean I know anything, though.
Last night doing Keeper, I knew about the OHKO mechanic. I knew how to avoid it. What I DIDN'T know what the actual-how-to-avoid-it way. So, we do the first step, my party does the second step, and I TAKE THE EXPLOSION ON THE FACE AND DIE.
Whoops.
Didn't make the mistake twice, but it made for a fun encounter. Similarly, I knew about the totems for the second WP boss but not specifically what they did. OOPS, 6K FIRESPIT, 4K FIRE.
I can't understand fights until they've killed me. I try to skip through the "Why did that kill me" ahead of time, though.
