Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Attaching herself to the Naglfar, Helya launches an all-out assault of the vessel from a distance. Defeating Helya's Tentacles wounds her, and after defeating several tentacles, Helya submerges and continues to barrage the Naglfar with her tentacles. After 15 sec, Helya rips the front of the Naglfar in half and combats players directly, periodically retreating to the waves for the remainder of the encounter. On this difficulty, Helya additionally casts Brackwater Barrage, assaulting the port or starboard side of the Naglfar.
