Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Kith'ix calls upon his Voidswarm to fight alongside him as he assaults players with an array of powerful dark magic. Upon reaching 100 energy, Kith'ix attempts to smother his enemies with Suffocating Darkness. Lady Liadrin holds the darkness at bay while gathering power to banish it with Divine Radiance. At 25% health, Kith'ix stuns players with Stygian Howl and Liadrin rescues them with Last Light, beginning a race to slay Kith'ix before his Eightfold Eclipse snuffs out Liadrin's light.
