Overview[]
The Blight is the first of the three Frozen Wastes bosses.
Boss Skills: Phase One[]
The Blight stays in the center, invulnerable while the 4 plagues: Atrophy, Obscurity, Decrepitude, and Stagnance fight in his stead.
| Skill | Description | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Cloak of Corruption | All skeletons gain extreme thorns. The Blight mob in the center as well as the Plagues glow while this is in effect. | Avoid hitting the plagues at this time. Be careful with damage over time skills and in particular, skills that can damage more than one enemy at a time. |
| Tendril of Corruption | Seeking projectile that relentlessly pursues a random player, other players cannot take the tendril. On impact, the player taunts all the plagues. | Run away from the projectile if you know you are the target. It deals a decent amount of damage but the real threat is having all living plagues chase after you. |
| Pandemic | Increases the damage dealt by skills, and skeletons move much faster. | |
| Symbiosis | Blight shoots out a projectile to each Plague, dealing damage to players caught by the attack. The skeletons then shoot at players with the same projectile, the Plagues shoot in a consistent order as follows:
Atrophy > Obscurity > Decrepitude > Stagnance Plagues can be staggered individually. |
Run in a circle around the arena as the shots fire in a straight line. |
| Dissonance | The Blight pulls all nearby players into the center, dealing damage to all players caught by the attack. | Avoid walking near the center of the arena during phase one. |
| Exertion | Each skeleton spouts a pool of particles under them. Depending on the color, they inflict debuffs as follows:
Red: Wither Green: Slowness Black: Blindness Grey: Mining Fatigue |
Boss Skills: Phase Two[]
After killing all 4 plagues, The Blight transforms.
| Skill | Description | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Exodus | Particles rain down from the ceiling, causing debuff pools to fill the floor. If the Blight walks over them, it regenerates health, these are the same rings as Exertion from the first phase. Can be staggered. | Move along the stairs near the walls as the exodus rings don't rain onto them. |
| Scorched Earth | Repeated AoE that strikes the same part of the arena several times. | Wait a few seconds before moving sideways as the attack strikes the area you were in at the time it takes effect rather than where you were on cast. This is also important to avoid getting hit by Blossom of Defilement's 3rd or 4th wave in the scenario where Scorched Earth is used after it. |
| Blossom of Defilement | The Blight shoots out waves of particles in 8 directions 4 times, damaging players hit by the blasts. Can be staggered. | Memorize the spots in the arena that are never hit by the waves. These are generally a few blocks away from the 4 corners of the arena. |
| Chain Reaction | The blight shoots splitting particles that cover the area, applying negative debuffs and dealing minor damage. | The skill usually misses so long as you are moving. |
| Death Sentence | A black mark appears over the aggroed player. After a few seconds, it fires a projectile dealing high piercing damage that slowly travels in the direction of the player. The black mark teleports every time the projectile fires to be above the players head. | Keep moving and try not to run into a corner. You may have to tank a Blossom of Defilement hit if Death Sentence is used before it. |
