All: The Mantikora spits a glob of poison onto a random player that drops a persistent green puddle on the ground. Move out to the arena edges to drop the poison safely away from the group stack.

Tank: Scaled Court Overchargers and War-Priests spawn continuously throughout the fight. The off-tank must taunt and pull them directly onto Ozara so they die to passive cleave damage.

All: With Hard Mode active, The Serpent gains increased health, poison ticking damage during Poison Phase is significantly heightened, and adds spawn with greater frequency. Tightly coordinate defensive cooldowns during every poison cycle.
