How do mechanics work in this game?

[Excellus]

I've played a lot of mmos and I don't understand the mechanics in this game.

I'm trying to do the tower and I'm on the scorpion boss. The boss auto attacks me, stuns me for 6 seconds for 1000 damage, then pops up beside me for another 3000 damage. I'm stunned the entire time with no counter play as far as I can see.

He then goes and burrows into the ground and pops up and does 7k damage. I've tried dodging, I've tried holding Q to block. Nothing seems to mitigate the damage, and there seems to be absolutely no way to avoid the stuns.

If there's some telegraph it's not obvious at all. What am I missing?

Are you talking about the part where you must deliver the exploding baby scorpion to the right fluidized sand bed?

I think he does that after you failed that mech. Just follow the purple scorpion

^ what this last guy said. It's that kinda game ''did you watch the video yet'', and if you haven't they'll kick you from party.

the game is toxic AF but there are some super cool players too

Is this some kind of try-hard experience on a game mechanics that been out for more than a year ago?

So you either learn it from the party or come at least somewhat preferred... but choose to not, blame the group for getting kicked because of failing mechanics?
