The Flame Leviathan

Shortly after the last Iron Colossus dies, Flame Leviathan will come out.

Your motorcycles should drop tar in front of the door and your Demolishers should ignite it so he takes damage immediately (this also makes him activate immediately.)
Siege Engine Tactics

The fight is the Siege Engines kiting him, keeping in front of him with Steam Rush as necessary. If you get too close, he will hit you with Battering Ram, and its debuff stacks.

Every 30 seconds he will switch targets to another siege vehicle, mark them, and follow them around. If you do not have two siege vehicles active then he will pick a different unit.

Use Electroshock to interrupt Flame Jets. It helps reduce the damage done to the Choppers and Demolishers when they're in range. He will cast two jets in between every target switch, so you can use the pattern of "shock shock run" and substantially reduce both raid damage and the risk to yourself.
Chopper Tactics

Work with your Siege Engine drivers to establish a kiting path, and drop Tar in it. This slows him slightly, and also deals significant damage when ignited.

You can use Sonic Horn while Tar is on cooldown to deal additional damage.

You have very low health, so be careful to never get hit by Battering Ram and avoid excess Flame Jets damage.
Demolisher Tactics

Your passenger needs to use Reload Ammo to charge up Hurl Pyrite Barrel, which deals significant damage.

If you are destroying turrets, you will also want to get your passenger up onto Flame Leviathan and then be ready to pick them back up again later.

Interesting Side notes
--------------------------

After reading the strategy, I found out that Hard mode is when you don't send anyone on top of the flame leviathan, so that he never gets his gathering speed reset, in turn slamming into players faster, and doing more damage. If you do send people to the top of the flame leviathan, it needs to be a healer and dps ( 10 man). You need to kill the mobs, then get ready to hit the Overload Circuit when the Flame Leviathan is sitting on top of the tar that is lit of fire, thus doing damage to him through the full duration of the stun.

I will leave this page open to reply in, keep replies full of helpful information, if there are anything that is not related to the fight that post will be deleted.
