Strategy Guide

FIGHT OVERVIEW
  • This fight has 2 phases. Phase 2 starts at 20%. You win the fight at 3%.

  • You only have 1 hour per week to try this boss once he is engaged for the first time. Get everything ready before you pull it.

  • Carefully setup your defensive cooldowns. Collapsing Star deaths deal tons of raid damage and the boss hits the tank very hard.

Black Hole
Upon Star Death

Once you kill a Collapsing Star, it explodes and deals heavy shadow damage to the raid.


Make sure everyone is topped and organize defensive CDs. Try not to overlap this with Cosmic Smash

EVERYONE

RUN INTO BLACK HOLES

TO AVOID THE BIG BANG.

ONE PLAYER STAYS OUT.

Big Bang
8s Cast

An almost lethal AoE the boss casts.


One player (usually a tank/shadow priest/rogue) stays "outside" to soak, the others must enter before the end of the cast the "inner world" by walking in the black zone left by a Collapsing Star death.


Immunities do not work.

ASSIGNED PLAYERS

LIVING CONSTELLATIONS

INTO BLACK HOLES

The Living Constellation adds deal damage to random players every 5 seconds.


To kill them, kite them into a black hole. The constellation dies instantly but the black hole despawns as well.

Quantum Strike
Tank Mechanic

This is a constant heavy strike to your tank. Healer needs to top up tank at all time.

Phase Punch
Tank Mechanic

Tanks need to swap before or at 5 stacks max. Healer should pre-heal on offtank since the switch can be pretty violent.
