Vexie Fullthrottle

Overview: Vexie Fullthrottle, a master engineer and pilot, commands the Geargrinders, a group of mechanized minions. This encounter emphasizes mobility and quick reaction times.​YouTube

Mechanics:

• Overclocked Engines: Vexie periodically overcharges her mech suit, increasing her attack speed and damage. Players must apply slows and stuns to mitigate this effect.​

• Oil Slick: She deploys oil slicks on the ground, causing players to slip and take damage over time. Avoid standing in these areas to minimize damage.​

• Turbo Boost: At 50% health, Vexie activates Turbo Boost, increasing her movement speed and changing her attack patterns. Players must adjust positioning accordingly.​

Strategy:

• Assign players to handle Geargrinder adds promptly.​SkyCoach+2YouTube+2Blizzard Forums+2

Cauldron of Carnage

Overview: The Cauldron of Carnage is a massive, sentient forge fueled by volatile chemicals. This encounter requires precise movement and environmental awareness.​

Mechanics:

• Chemical Spill: The Cauldron releases waves of chemicals that inflict heavy damage. Players must navigate through safe zones to avoid these spills.​

• Ignition Sequence: Periodically, the Cauldron ignites the floor, causing eruption zones that deal lethal damage. Quick movement is essential to survive.​

• Pressure Build-Up: Over time, pressure within the Cauldron increases, leading to an unavoidable raid-wide explosion if not managed. Players must activate release valves located around the room to vent pressure safely.​

Strategy:

• Designate teams to handle release valves promptly to manage pressure levels.​

• Stay vigilant for Chemical Spills and Ignition Sequences, moving to safe zones as necessary.​

• Coordinate defensive cooldowns during high-damage phases.​

Rik Reverb

Mechanics:

• Explosive Charges: Stix plants charges around the arena that detonate after a short delay, dealing massive damage to anyone nearby. Players must keep an eye out for these charges and avoid them.​

• Shrapnel Blast: He periodically fires a cone of shrapnel in a random direction, inflicting heavy damage and applying a bleed effect. Positioning is crucial to minimize casualties.​

• Minefield: Stix deploys a field of hidden mines that trigger when stepped on, causing area-of-effect damage and knocking players back. Movement should be deliberate and cautious.​

• Detonation Sequence: At 30% health, Stix initiates a detonation sequence, increasing his attack speed and causing all remaining explosives to detonate in a chain reaction. Players must finish the fight quickly or face overwhelming damage.​

Strategy:

• Assign specific players to disarm or trigger explosives safely.​

• Use movement abilities to navigate the minefield effectively.​

• Coordinate cooldowns and burst damage during the Detonation Sequence to swiftly end the encounter.​

Mechanics:

• Mercenary Reinforcements: Lockenstock calls in mercenaries to assist him, each with unique abilities. These adds must be controlled and eliminated promptly.​

• Gadget Barrage: He deploys various gadgets that perform random functions, such as emitting damaging lasers, creating force fields, or releasing poisonous gas. Players must adapt quickly to these hazards.​

• Wealth of the Mogul: Lockenstock periodically showers the arena with gold coins, tempting players to collect them. However, each coin collected increases the player's weight, reducing movement speed.​

• Golden Shield: At 20% health, he activates a shield that absorbs damage and reflects a portion back to attackers. This shield must be broken through coordinated damage.​

Strategy:

• Prioritize killing mercenary adds to reduce incoming damage and chaos.​

• Assign players to handle specific gadgets based on their abilities.​

• Avoid collecting too many gold coins to maintain mobility.​

• Coordinate burst damage to break the Golden Shield efficiently.​

Overview: The One-Armed Bandit is a colossal, sentient slot machine brought to life by Gallywix's engineers. This encounter introduces elements of chance and requires players to manage random mechanics effectively.​

Mechanics:

• Spin the Reels: The Bandit periodically spins its reels, resulting in random effects based on the outcome, such as spawning adds, applying debuffs, or granting buffs.​

• Jackpot: If the reels align on a jackpot, the Bandit gains a significant damage increase for a short duration. Players must use defensive cooldowns to survive this phase.​

• Coin Shower: The Bandit releases a barrage of coins that deal damage upon impact. Players must dodge these coins to avoid unnecessary damage.​

• Malfunction: At 15% health, the Bandit malfunctions, causing its attacks to become erratic and unpredictable. This phase requires heightened awareness and adaptability.​

Strategy:

• Prepare for various outcomes from Spin the Reels and adapt strategies accordingly.​

• Use defensive cooldowns during the Jackpot phase to mitigate increased damage.​

• Maintain high mobility to avoid Coin Shower attacks.​

• Stay alert during the Malfunction phase and adjust positioning as needed.

• Use defensive cooldowns and burst damage during the Rage phase to finish the fight swiftly.​
