To the untrained eye, Ma'ra Grimfang and Anathos Firecaller may seem like a mismatched pair. The truth, however, is that their coordination is second to none. Their combined assault is powerful enough to level the most formidable foes.

Tanks

King Rastakhan
For over two hundred years, King Rastakhan has ruled the Zandalari empire. Since the fall of Rezan, he has turned to a new patron--Bwonsamdi, the loa of death. The dark bargain he has made grants him the power to crush his enemies... but at what cost?

After the transfer, Bwonsamdi shifts to the death realm, pulling the closest half of the party with him.

Champion of the Light
Ra'wani and her troops are the first line of defense against the Alliance, sworn to lay down their lives for their city. Standing together, they empower and heal each other while fending off the incoming invaders.
Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Ra'wani empowers herself with various seals, and releases those seals to improve her allies whenever she reaches 100 Energy. Additionally, Ra'wani and her allies work to reduce the size of the battlefield for their enemies, using both Consecration and Wave of Light to do so. Crusader allies provide additional damage and crowd control for Ra'wani, while disciples heal wounded allies.

- Avoid facing the crusader allies when they cast Blinding Faith.
Tanks
- Don't let Sacred Blade stack too high.
- When tanking the adds, move them out of Consecration so they are not affected by its damage reduction.
- Keep the adds moving to avoid them being hit by Wave of Light.
Damage Dealers

- Avoid facing the crusader allies when they cast Blinding Faith.
- Avoid attacking the boss when they are affected by Seal of Reckoning.
