Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Players gain 5 Pride when hit by any ability from the Sha of Pride or its minions, though Norushen periodically protects several players at a time from this effect. The Sha of Pride's abilities trigger increasingly dangerous effects on players the more Pride they have. When the Sha of Pride reaches 30% health remaining, it destroys Norushen, who purifies the raid of their Pride with his final action. From that point, players must defeat the Sha before their Pride overwhelms them.
