Tips

Setup

Projectile and Missile users should bring Chemical and EMP unless you can debuff the type you bring.
Beam users should bring Energy.
EMP will only work on the shields of the mobs and not on the hull, this will mean that you will need to swap over to chem or energy when you are hitting hull.
Plasma Beams or Plasma Ammo will heal the bosses but can deal damage after Chimaera's Debuff.
As always with raids it is best to have PW flying the formations.
Good idea to bring TT/JS combo in each group so healing won't be interrupted from lack of energy.
Usually works best with 2 if not 3 groups. One group handles the boss and one or two groups killing the other enemies.
- NOTE: Lag in Aragoth Prime can be pretty bad when doing raid. Most find it easier to single group it. PRS raid can handle 2-3 group much easier.

Bosses

During the first four waves of enemies, either 1 or 2 groups of enemies will spawn per wave, each group can contain between zero and three CL66 Ah Kung Ghost Spectre Red Dragon (if they are not debuffed chem will heal them). These mobs have a very long attack range and deal very high damage. They will have 3-6 CL 53 Shadow Dragon guards with them.
When the hull of the Red Dragon Carrier, Chi Lung boss is at about one quarter or half have all the TEs move up to hack the Command Center.
- Red Dragon Perimeter (CL 62) turrets only drop L4 items so not worth killing unless you only want Chavez faction.
