|---|---|---|
| Paragon's Purpose | Whenever a Klaxxi Paragon is defeated all other active Klaxxi Paragons heal to full. | |
| Ready to Fight | Klaxxi Paragons with this aura on them will be the next to join the fight. Before the fight begins, three Klaxxi Paragons will have this aura. When the encounter begins all three of these Paragons join the encounter and one other Paragon will gain this aura to indicate that they will join the fight next. Everytime a new Klaxxi Paragon joins the fight, one of the inactive Klaxxi Paragons will gain this aura. | |
| Hewn | The attacks of Skeer the Bloodseeker leave the victim more susceptible to the meddling of Rik'kal the Dissector's attacks. | |
| Bloodletting | Skeer swings his weapon in a mighty arc, inflicting Physical damage to the target and causing blood creatures to spawn around the room. Each blood moves to a Paragon and will heal that Paragon based on the remaining health of the blood. In 10 Player Normal Difficulty 2 bloods are summoned. In 25 Player Normal Difficulty 3 bloods are summoned. In 10 Player Heroic Difficulty 3 bloods are summoned. In 25 Player Heroic Difficulty 4 bloods are summoned. In Raid Finder Difficulty 1 blood is summoned. In Flexible Difficulty 2-3 bloods are summoned. | |

| Genetic Alteration | Rik'kal's meddling with his victim's genetic makeup leaves them more susceptible to the attacks of Skeer the Bloodseeker. | |
| Injection | When the virus expires, several Parasites will burst from the victim and attack players at random. Injection will not hit tanks that are actively trying to mitigate damage. | |
| Mutate: Amber Scorpion | Rik'kal tosses a vial at a random player, causing them to mutate into an Amber Scorpion. Damage inflicted as an Amber Scorpion is based on the player's Attack Power, Ranged Attack Power, or Spell Power, whichever is largest. | |
| Claw | Amber Scorpions can lash out with one of their claws for 100% damage. | |
| Swipe | The Amber Scorpion sweeps both of its claws in front of it, inflicting 150% damage to all targets in the area. Targets currently under the effects of Sting suffer double damage. | |

| Rapid Fire | Hisek fires several volleys in rapid succession, with each successive volley moving slightly faster than the previous one. | |
| Aim | Hisek the Swarmkeeper selects a player at random and stuns them for 5 sec. If the target is too close they will be knocked back until they are 45 yards from Hisek. | |

In non-Heroic Difficulties, Ka'roz hurls three pieces of amber. In Heroic Difficulty Ka'roz hurls four pieces of amber and the pool of Caustic Amber persists for the duration of the encounter. | |
| Strong Legs | Players of the damage dealer role can acquire this Paragon Power. When activated the player leaps to one of the platforms Ka'roz used to Hurl Amber from. If there is no amber at the platform or when the player successfully throws the amber they will jump back down automatically.

| Encase in Amber | If Korven the Prime or any other active Paragon is below 50% health remaining Korven will Encase them in Amber for 10 sec.

| Catalytic Reaction: Blue | In 10 Player Difficulty, the maximum number of targets that can split the damage is limited to 2. In 25 Player Difficulty the maximum number of targets that can split the damage is limited to 3. | |
| Catalytic Reaction: Yellow | When this toxin reacts to a yellow catalyst it creates a cloud of Noxious Vapors for 30 sec. | |

| Devour Whole | Hungry Kunchongs will instantly kill any player who gets too close. The process energizes the Hungry Kunchong to full. | lethal |
