The Dread Cellar Trifecta


For U47, by @sacr3dbac0n/The Frying Pan

General Checklist

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


Preliminary

Optionals #1 and #2

Do checklists as shown.


Purgator (Optional #1)

Kill boss. DDs and healer ult.


Scorion Broodlord

Checklist

  • Tank needs an interrupt and Ele Sus for adds.
  • Resolving Vigor for DDs helps a ton.

Every 10% we get adds. First 10% is always a ranged pair (Flame Colosus and Mage) and the next 10% is a melee pair (Daedroth and 2H). That pattern repeats in sequence for the entire duration. Mage has a channel.

Ensure not to overpush multiple add waves at the same time. DDs should focus the ranged pair and then the melee pair should be stacked on Crystal and cleaved down.

Control the adds, take it slow, and it’s easy.

Make sure to spawn the Purgator at ~70%-60%. Use his synergy on the adds to deal massive damage.


Undertaker (Optional #2)

Save ults, kill boss.


Cyronin Artellian

Pull boss to the far left. The Storm Atros will come in. Drop ults and big burn on the boss.

Avoid walls as they come up; they will instantly kill you.

Dodge the red skulls in execute (everyone).


Magma Incarnate

Checklist:

  • Resolving Vigor on DDs helps here.

Start the pull w/ blue crystal (Undertaker) and bring Magma Incarnate to the back.

Push to the first portal while tank pulls Scamps – they are deadly if agroed on group. At 65% go in and kill the stone obelisk.

Come back and be ready to taunt and kill the Scorion w/o pushing to second portal. The crystals will soon be off cooldown, so spawn the orange crystal (Purgator) before leaving.

Incarnate Outburst will spawn (usually only once) between 65% and 35%, and during execute. Tank just stands and blocks underneath boss to prevent group from exploding.

When done with the second portal, just come back, drop ults, and execute the boss. Ignore the second Scorion, but taunt if it comes in.

Summary

  • Crystals – blue on pull, orange before second portal.
  • Scamps – tank pulls them in
  • Incarnate Outburst – tank stands under boss and blocks
  • Ults – on Scorion and in execute.
