General Checklist

Strats adjusted according to the typical setups we use everywhere. See pinned ⁠dd, ⁠tank, ⁠healer for details.

Avatar of Zeal (Optional #1)

Kill boss. All save ults.

Kinras Ironeye

Checklist

Establish Ice Avatar order to stun-lock boss

Use the bonus from Avatar of Zeal (Ice Avatar) to stun-lock the boss and increase DPS for the duration of the fight. Stun-locking the boss prevents the boss from doing too much damage while enraged and makes the Salamanders more vulnerable.

Use a rotation for this. Usually healer goes first to allow tank to stand on the geyser, then tank, and then both DDs.

As soon as you hear the previous player call out their Ice Avatar, you should already be going.

Captain Geminus

Try to use the Ice Avatar before or during the invuln phase to maybe skip, but it’s not crucial. Pretty hard to pull off and doesn’t really matter.

Use wisps to refill resources or ult if needed.

Pyroturge Encratis

This is simple, just damage the boss and push him to the lair. Again, you can keep him stun-locked, so use the same rotation, and he won’t jump.

If he does jump, be careful in the pit. If they gang up on you, the salamanders will kill you quickly.

Use the wisps to return resources or ult also.

Let tank go up first, there will be a Fire Behemoth that might clap the DDs or healer if loose.
