The Flamebrand

Unavoidable raid-wide hit, roughly 3,200 to 6,500, drawn on impact. No floor marker: the cast bar is the warning, and the only answer is healing through it.

Suppressed for the whole of a Fire Call.

Two phases. The name says which half comes first; the second is its opposite and starts the instant the first resolves.

• 6 seconds to get into formation each time.
• Spread hits about 4,000; the stack about 8,400, split between whoever is in it.
• Shares are never lost — always eight, however many are alive. With seven up, somebody carries two and is hit twice.

Five hits, one a second, about 8,400 each, on whoever is nearest when the 3-second cast ends — you can still trade places while it runs.

• Hits are never wasted — if the target dies partway through, the rest pass to a random living player.
• Chains off every Fire Call, and runs on its own at 4:00.

Eddga pins itself in the middle; four of its kin land around it and breathe every 15 seconds.

Kill all four before the fourth blast or it kills the raid outright — three breaths of room. The breath is a uniform line, not a cone: the dodge is the same wherever you stand. Each breath that clips you leaves you Scorched for a few seconds, and a second beam while Scorched kills outright — never stand where two lines cross.

The floor turns to ash and burns everyone standing on it every second — unavoidable, uncleansable, about 2,100 a tick.

Nowhere is clean at the start. Meteors scour the ash off a patch at a time and every patch struck stays clean, so the safe ground is where a meteor has already hit. The ash reaches every cell of the sealed room. A meteor kills whoever it lands on, and a few each wave fall on ground that is already clean — cleared ground is free of ash, not of meteors.

Two players a round get a 15-second countdown over their head — four across both rounds. At zero they detonate: everything near them dies, the carrier survives.

Each blast leaves a tower that needs two bodies inside it within 12 seconds; the pair take 60% of their max HP each. Carriers come out with Vulnerability Up for 20 seconds and take three times that, so the soaking falls to the other six. A tower nobody answers hits the whole raid for 75% of max HP — drop two and it is a wipe. Sort out roles before the fuse runs down.

Four kin land, one of them the Emberborn, which no weapon can touch until it is opened.

• The raid splits into three red bombs and one stack — exactly eight people once the stack has its four helpers.
• A red takes half an ordinary kin's health.
• The Emberborn stays sealed until the stack lands on top of it, then is an ordinary target.

Anything still standing at 5:30 wipes the raid.

The boss swings for triple and the last thirty seconds are a deadline: an Emberfall every 8 seconds and a Ravage every 12. Whatever is still alive at 6:00 is wiped — kill it before then.
