Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Vakan and Gholna take turns gaining energy to see who can kill the most players. Vakan hurls Enveloping Darkness at random player destinations that summons a Blistering Cyclone. Gholna creates Lava Geysers at random player destinations that erupt and continually inflict Fire damage to several players. At full energy, Vakan unleashes Scorching Eclipse while Gholna casts Incineration. When one is defeated, the other declares victory reducing their spells recast time and increasing the rate they gain energy.

Where to Find Vakan
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
When he's defeated after Gholna, he says something like this: "I see... Shadowlands Arena... fight forever...." I find this odd, and since the beginning of DF this is the 1st time i heard this.
Killed them, and half the raid couldn't loot it, nor did it come in the mail..
That is every comment on this page.
