General Checklist

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

Resolving Vigor

Preliminary

Can be done three DD/no healer.

Do checklists as needed.

Jailer Melitus

Don’t stack and watch out for AoEs if three DD.

Hedge Maze Guardian

Drop ults and skip mechanic if three DD. Make sure to swap to your boss setup before starting the prev. pull otherwise, it keeps you in combat.

Mylenne Moon-Caller

Again, kill boss.

Archivist Ernarde

Same as before. It’s ok to drop ults.

Vykosa the Ascendant

Checklist

Resolving Vigor and/or spec back to healer.

This boss is easier with a healer IMO for some reasons:
1.) Can easily cast Time Freeze multiple times if needed.
2.) Enables a ton of mitigation and allows room for error.
3.) No issues with resource sustain.
4.) Allows recovery if Rune skip is failed.

Either way, the strategy doesn’t change. Target Wolves first, then Werewolves, so start and kill Wolves immediately. Then you can push the first two waves (90% and 85%) of Werewolves out. At 85%, group must go entrance and stack/Time Freeze + burn Werewolves. Tank stays.

Shock Wardens appear at 50% so kill those too.

After that its always Wolves > Werewolves waves 2x all the way until 35%. As you approach 40%, get ready to kill Wolves one last time. Remember to kill the one on the wall first (not taunted), then the Wolf on tank.

When Vykosa gets to 35%, do an ult check. If good, go for execute – drop ults and kill the boss at 33%.

If runes are skipped, congrats. If not, attempt recovery. Hide inside the safe symbol indicated by the mage in center while killing Shock Wardens. Wolves go off the chains and it may be FUBAR, but if not, try to execute.
