Abilities & Strategy

Overview

The champions of Azeroth assault the Jailer as he attempts to use the Machine of Origination to remake existence. The Jailer starts the battle by asserting control over the machine's Control Pylons using Relentless Domination. Once all Control Pylons have been brought under his control, the Jailer begins an Unholy Attunement in an attempt to activate the machine. The force of Shattering Blast can disrupt pylons and delay this attunement. When the Jailer connects a line of Control Pylons to the center of the machine, The Unmaking begins. The Machine of Origination begins to drain Azeroth of its lifeforce, while the Jailer assaults Azeroth with Desolation. Once Azeroth's life force reaches 10% the Jailer will execute Azeroth and unmake all of existence.
