Kith'ix
Defeated long ago, Kith'ix was restrained deep in the Vaults of Ula'tek by Ula'tek herself. With her defeat, the C'Thraxxi has returned, intent on wiping out not just the Amani, but any who would oppose him.
Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Kith'ix calls upon his Voidswarm to fight alongside him as he assaults players with an array of powerful dark magic. Upon reaching 100 energy, Kith'ix attempts to smother his enemies with Suffocating Darkness. Lady Liadrin holds the darkness at bay while gathering power to banish it with Divine Radiance. At 25% health, Kith'ix stuns players with Stygian Howl and Liadrin rescues them with Last Light, beginning a race to slay Kith'ix before his Eightfold Eclipse snuffs out Liadrin's light.
