Corla, Herald of Twilight
Evolution
Aura of Acceleration
Dark Command
- Evolved Twilight Zealot
Force Blast
Gravity Strike
Grievous Whirl
Shadow Strike
Corla, Herald of Twilight will start the fight with 3Twilight Zealots worshiping her. Corla will channel beams of energyinto these Twilight Zealots, giving them stacks of Evolution every second. Upon reaching 100 stacks of
Evolution, the Twilight Zealots will transform into anEvolved Twilight Zealot, gaining multiple deadly abilities. Toprevent this from happening, a player will need to be assigned to each beam to"interrupt" it, by standing between Corla, Herald of Twilightand the Twilight Zealot. This will instead cause the player to gainstacks of
Evolution, rather than the Twilight Zealot.If a player reaches 100 stacks of
Evolution, they will insteadtransform into a Twilight Drakonid, attacking their allies. Toprevent this, stand in the beam until you have around 80 stacks of
Evolution, then move out until your debuff resets.Corla, Herald of Twilight herself is rather weak, with her main threatbeing
Dark Command, as this can fear a target away from theirbeam and prevent them from soaking the stacks.

Karsh Steelbender
Quicksilver Armor
Superheated Quicksilver Armor
Heat Wave
Burning Metal
Cleave
Lava Spout
Karsh Steelbender starts the fight with Quicksilver Armor full stacked, reducing his damage taken by99%. The tank will need to drag him through the flowing lava in the middleof the room to damage his armor, giving him a stack of
Superheated Quicksilver Armor for every 2 seconds he is under thelava. While under the lava, Karsh Steelbender will cast
Heat Wave every second, dealing more for each stack of
Superheated Quicksilver Armor. Because of
Heat Waveand the
Burning Metal damage he will be dealing while debuffedwith
Quicksilver Armor, you will only want to briefly drag himthrough the lava to gain 1 or 2 stacks of
Superheated Quicksilver Armor. If you keep him under the lava fortoo longer players will start dying from his increasing damage output.

Beauty will Berserker Charge the target that isfarthest away, and often uses

- Shadow of Obsidius
Ascendant Lord Obsidius will be protected by threeShadow of Obsidius, which can be attacked but do not take damage.These Shadows will ignore threat and only attack the player that most recentlyattacked them, with each Shadow applying Crepuscular Veil to theirtarget when they get close. These should be handled by having a DPS class withhigh mobility or DoTs to attack the Shadow of Obsidius clones andkite them around the room, ideally using any slows available to the group toavoid taking damage.
Ascendant Lord Obsidius will swap places with one of theShadow of Obsidius at both 66% and 33% health, so besure the group is ready to change targets. He will also cast Thunderclap often, slowing nearby members movement speed. If theplayer who is kiting the Shadow of Obsidius clones gets slowed bythis, quickly dispel them to allow them to properly kite. Lastly, eitherdispel the
Twilight Corruption debuff or simply heal through it.
