Team Attacks

Combined Power
Spell details
Fire from Mist

When the Combined Power of the combatants reaches 30 power, the duo teams up to summon Living Bombs shrouded in jade mist. Each bomb will continually blast all players with explosions. The mist prevents targeting into and out of the zone.

Chi-Ji's Song
Spell details
Living Bomb
A Flash of Hostility

When the Combined Power of the combatants reaches 60 power, all players are ported to one side of the playspace while the combatants teleport away. Anathos creates a barrier and continually calls down Phoenix Strikes to pelt the area while Ma'ra creates a maze of Rings of Hostility to foil player's passage across the battlefield. The combatants continually channel their abilities until players break down the barrier and interrupt them. In Heroic Difficulty, only one of the barrier's weak points is attackable unless a player uses a Force Orb to make the other points attackable. In Mythic Difficulty, none of the barrier's weak points are attackable until players use a Force Orb to make each weak point attackable. Additionally, a Spirit of Niuzao will chase the players through the maze.
