City of Ash II

Heavy attack

All: The melee Xivilai's heavy attack kills a non-tank outright and applies a large knockback. Block it, in any role. Most groups kill the melee one first.

Flame Atronachs

Tank: Flame Atronachs spawn throughout the fight. Hold them on the boss.

Dps: Control the Atronachs. They have low health, but they swarm and destabilise the fight if ignored.

Burst

All: A wide spreading ground effect with a strong knockback. DPS and healers move out immediately; the tank can block or roll and reposition afterward.

Daedric healer and archer

Dps: A teleporting Daedric healer and an archer support the trio. Interrupt and kill the healer quickly, and stand in the gaps between the archer's fire volleys.

Fire pools

All: Flame circles linger on the ground. They are bright and easy to see; step out without running around.

Summon Adds

Tank: She summons two Daedra from the centre that go straight for the DPS and healers. Taunt them quickly and hold them close.

Dps: Kill the summoned Daedra within roughly 20 seconds, or she resummons them and heals herself heavily. The longer they live, the more she recovers.

Stomp

Tank: A frontal shockwave with knockback and heavy fire damage. Block it and keep him facing away. Never let DPS or healers stand in front.

Breath

All: A large fire cone in front of him. The tank can block it; anyone else caught in it will most likely die. Stay behind or to the side.

Ground Pound

All: He strikes the ground, placing circles beneath players. Light side-to-side movement clears them; do not sprint.

Dremora waves (75% / 50% / 25%)

Tank: At each threshold he summons a Dremora wave. Hold them close for area damage.

Dps: Kill each Dremora wave before pushing the next threshold; overlapping spawns wipe groups.

Heavy attack

All: A large telegraphed cone heavy attack. The tank blocks it and never turns him toward the group. If targeted, roll straight back or block; it tracks side to side.

Fire Splashes

All: Meteor projectiles rain small fire circles on the group. Step out of them, but do not over-spread.

Lock-On Fire Shot

All: A fireball locked onto one player that cannot be outrun. Block to reduce it; healers restore the target afterward.

Slam and Flame Wall

All: At the start he slams the ground, knocking players back and sending flame waves across the arena. Move side to side to avoid the wall.

Air Atronachs (65% / 35%)

Tank: At 65% and 35% health he flies off to summon an Air Atronach, a spinning-effect add. Taunt the boss and the Atronachs and hold them at the back of the room; by the second summon all three are active at once. The Atronachs have a large shield and low threat, so simply keep them taunted.

Heavy attack

All: Both bosses have heavy melee attacks. The tank holds them facing away; a non-tank who takes aggro must block or risk being killed outright.

Charged Attack

All: A frontal lightning charge. Dodge it or interrupt the wind-up.

Lightning Burst

All: They crouch and channel a shock burst. Interrupt to stop it entirely, otherwise move out of range.

Storm Atronachs

Tank: Storm Atronachs spawn and pulse a lightning effect. Control them.

Dps: Interrupt the Atronachs. Prioritise killing them if your damage is low; otherwise focus one boss down first.

Heavy attack

Tank: A powerful melee attack with a large knockback, often into the lava. Block it; it should only ever hit the tank.

Fireball

All: He targets a random player with a fireball. Move or dodge, or it launches you backward into the lava.

Fossilize

All: He petrifies a random player. Dodge-roll it if you react in time, otherwise Break Free immediately.

Flame Wheel

All: Flame spokes radiate outward in a wheel pattern. Stand in the gaps between the lines until it fades.

Smash Platform

All: He drives his sword into the centre of the current platform and it crumbles. Move to the next platform before it collapses.

Atronachs and shield

Tank: On landing a new platform he raises his sword and spawns Flame Atronachs. Keep them controlled.

Dps: Clear the Atronachs quickly with area damage. While he channels he gains a small shield and repeatedly casts fireballs. Break the shield with steady damage to end the cycle.

Platforms (Hard Mode)

All: Five platforms over lava, each destroyed in sequence. If all are gone the run is very hard to survive, though not always an instant loss. Hard Mode starts with only three. Manage taunts, dodge into the gaps, and move early on Smash Platform.
