Triple ThreatThe Jailer
For untold millennia, the Jailer patiently unfolded his plan to reach the heart of the Sepulcher. Now poised upon the precipice of his final victory, the heroes of Azeroth must rally to prevent the Jailer from dominating all of reality.
Abilities & Strategy
Overview

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.
