Abilities & Strategy
Overview
A mutated Zul'jan unleashes his new power by Coalescing Venom within The Coiled Altar. He wields twin axes that Sever players and destroy Coalesced Venom. Upon Zul'jan's defeat, Malacrass joins the fray. Malacrass haunts players with Dreadmarch, creating Manifestations of Dread as it resolves.
