Phase 1

Positioning is key in this phase. Al'Akir deals heavy AoE damage if your raid is stacked.


Players caught in tornadoes will be out of position, while the knockback will eliminate anyone too close to the edges.


Use the entire platform to spread out your raid in small evenly spaced groups.


While ensuring that no group is out of range of healing.

Lightning Strike
AoE Damage

This ability is the main reason the raid has to be spread out in this phase.


Every 10 seconds or so, Al'Akir targets a random player with a cone of lightning. It deals damage in 25yds and chains to other players around, dealing even more damage for each player affected.


If you manage this ability well, the damage taken by your raid will be significantly reduced.


Watch out for possible combos with other abilities. Tornadoes, knockback, ice patches will require you to adjust your placement.
