AbilityAdventure GuideNotes
Unstable MonstrosityGrowing Twilight instability causes arcs of Twilight energy to erupt from Ultraxion's hide. Every minute that Ultraxion remains in combat reduces the time between arcs by 1 second, to a maximum rate of one arc per second. In addition, the instability prevents Ultraxion from parrying attacks.
Twilight ShiftAt the beginning of the battle, Ultraxion pulls all enemies with him into the Twilight Realm where they can bear the full brunt of his powerful Twilight assaults. The Twilight Realm grants players the Heroic Will ability.
Heroic WillThe player's Heroic Will steels the caster's mind to resist the forces of Twilight. This pulls the caster out of the Twilight realm for up to 5 sec, but renders them unable to attack, cast spells, or move while concentrating.
Fading LightUltraxion sucks the light out of his current target and one random player, drawing them into Twilight over 5-10 seconds. Upon expiration, players in the Twilight Realm instantly die. Players in the normal realm forcibly enter the Twilight Realm, and are afflicted with Faded into Twilight. In 25 player Difficulty, Ultraxion sucks the light out of three random players. In 10 player Heroic Difficulty, Ultraxion sucks the light out of two random players. In 25 player Heroic Difficulty, Ultraxion sucks the light out of six random players. In Raid Finder Difficulty, Ultraxion only sucks the light out of his current target.
Faded into TwilightResidual Twilight effects cause all threat against Ultraxion to be reset. In addition, no threat will be generated for 10 sec.
Hour of TwilightThe Hour of Twilight falls upon Ultraxion's foes. Players within the normal realm forcibly enter the Twilight Realm. If Hour of Twilight does not hit a player, the Aspects take the full brunt of the attack. This disrupts the shield protecting the Aspects and heralds the end of all life on Azeroth. In 25 player Normal Difficulty, if Hour of Twilight hits less than three players, the Aspects take the full brunt of the attack. In 10 player Heroic Difficulty, if Hour of Twilight hits less than two players, the Aspects take the full brunt of the attack. In 25 player Heroic Difficulty, if Hour of Twilight hits less than five players, the Aspects take the full brunt of the attack. In Looking for Raid Difficulty, the Aspects can never take the full brunt of the attack.
Looming DarknessWhen struck by Hour of Twilight, powerful waves of Twilight energy course through the victim, rendering them more susceptible to the harmful effects of Hour of Twilight. Players instantly die if Hour of Twilight inflicts additional damage to them.
Twilight BurstIf every player stands outside the range of his powerful claws, Ultraxion expels a powerful burst of Twilight energy. This effect stacks.
Twilight EruptionAfter 6 minutes have passed, Ultraxion's instability reaches uncontainable levels and erupts outwards as a massive explosion that destroys all nearby foes and Ultraxion himself. If the shields surrounding the Aspects should fall at any point during the encounter, Ultraxion will immediately trigger Twilight Eruption.
Gift of LifeAlexstrasza creates a crystal of pure life energy. The crystal has one charge. Only one buff granted by Alexstrasza, Ysera, or Kalecgos can be present on a player at any time. In 25 player raids, Alexstrasza creates two crystals.
Essence of DreamsYsera creates a crystal of dream energy. The crystal has one charge. Only one buff granted by Alexstrasza, Ysera, or Kalecgos can be present on a player at any time. In 25 player raids, Ysera creates two crystals.
Source of MagicKalecgos creates a crystal of amplified arcane energy. The crystal has one charge. Only one buff granted by Alexstrasza, Ysera, or Kalecgos can be present on a player at any time. In 25 player raids, Kalecgos creates two crystals.
