Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Blood-Princess Thal'ena immediately uses Vampyr's Kiss to infect an enemy with Essence of the Blood Princess. When Essence of the Blood Princess wears off, the victim has a short amount of time to infect another target. If they cannot do so, they submit to Uncontrollable Frenzy. In Heroic difficulty, Blood-Princess Thal'ena uses Blood Call to summon a Congealed Blood from a blood pool. If the Congealed Blood reaches the princess, it does damage to the party and heals the boss. Those effected by Essence of the Blood Princess can instantly kill a Congealed Blood by running through it.
