Abilities & Strategy

What the in-game dungeon journal describes for this encounter. Every ability links to its spell page.

Abilities & Strategy

Theralion

When the encounter begins, Theralion immediately takes to the air, while Valiona engages the attackers on the ground. The twin dragons share a single health pool, and each alternates between being airborne and fighting on the ground.

Grounded Abilities

Theralion uses the following abilities while on the ground.

Engulfing Magic

Theralion twists the magical energies within an enemy spellcaster, increasing their damage and healing done by 100% for 20 sec. However, each time the affected player deals damage or healing, Engulfing Magic triggers a twilight explosion. The blast causes damage equal to the amount of damage or healing dealt to all players. In a 25 player raid, Theralion twists the magical energies of three enemy spellcasters.

Fabulous Flames

Theralion launches a burst of twilight energy at the location of a random enemy. Fabulous Flames leave a circular patch of twilight fire on the ground for 45 sec., inflicting Shadow damage every 1 sec. to all players in a radius.

Twilight Shift

Theralion periodically applies Twilight Shift to his current target. This effect stacks. When Theralion applies a fifth stack to the same target, he casts Shifting Reality on the target.

Airborne Abilities

Theralion uses the following abilities while in the air.

Twilight Blast

While hovering overhead, Theralion continually launches bolts of twilight flame at the locations of random players. When a Twilight Blast impacts the ground, it explodes and inflicts Shadow damage to all players of the impact location.

Dazzling Destruction

As he prepares to land, Theralion mesmerizes his foes with swirling patterns of energy on the ground. Theralion then strikes each of these locations with massive blasts of twilight power, inflicting Shadow damage to players and sending anyone caught in the blast into the Twilight Realm. If a player is already in the Twilight Realm when struck by Dazzling Destruction, that player dies.

Valiona

When the encounter begins, Theralion immediately takes to the air, while Valiona engages the attackers on the ground. The twin dragons share a single health pool, and each alternate between being airborne and fighting on the ground.

Grounded Abilities

Valiona uses the following abilities while on the ground.

Blackout

Valiona surrounds a random player in a shroud of Twilight energy, absorbing the next points of healing on the target. When Blackout expires or a player dispels the effect, the dark energy explodes in a massive torrent. The explosion inflicts Shadow damage divided amongst all players.

Devouring Flames

Valiona unleashes a prolonged breath of Twilight flame in the direction of a random player. Devouring Flames inflicts up to Shadow damage every 1 sec. for 5 sec. The damage diminishes on targets within the breath the farther away from Valiona they are located.

Twilight Shift

Valiona periodically applies Twilight Shift to her current target. This effect stacks. When Valiona applies a fifth stack to the same target, she casts Shifting Reality on the target.

Airborne Abilities

Valiona uses the following abilities while in the air.

Twilight Meteorite

Valiona sets her sights upon a random player and prepares to unleash a powerful Twilight Meteorite on them. When the meteorite lands on the player, it inflicts Shadow damage divided amongst players of the impact point.

Deep Breath

As she prepares to land, Valiona takes a deep breath and strafes from one end of the chamber to the other, engulfing a third of the room in Twilight Flames. Contact with this dark flame inflicts Shadow damage, and draws the player into the Twilight Realm. If the player is already in the Twilight Realm when struck by Deep Breath, that player dies.

Twilight Realm

Being struck by Theralion's Dazzling Destruction or Valiona's Deep Breath pulls players into the Twilight Realm. In this alternate plane of existence, spheres of volatile twilight energy float around and detonate if touched. Collapsing portals appear randomly throughout the area, and players may use a portal to return to the material plane. Each portal disappates after a time. In Heroic Difficulty Shifting Reality also pulls players into the Twilight Realm.

Twilight Sentry

On Heroic Difficulty the Twilight Realm is populated by the mysterious Twilight Sentries. Visible only as shimmers of twilight to those in the material plane, Twilight Sentries strike out indiscriminately, firing Rift Blasts at players both inside and outside the Twilight Realm.

Rift Blast

Twilight Sentries continually fire Rift Blasts at random players, inflicting Shadow damage every 3 sec.

Twilight Zone

Players trapped in the Twilight Realm suffer Shadow damage every 2 sec. The effect stacks, and the damage inflicted increases by 5% with each additional application.

Unstable Twilight

Coming into contact with one of the floating orbs of twilight energy within the Twilight Realm causes it to violently explode. Unstable Twilight inflicts Shadow damage to all players, but only affects players inside the Twilight Realm.

Adventure Guide Entry

The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Theralion and Valiona encounter in The Bastion of Twilight.

Magically aged to adulthood, Valiona and Theralion were to be paragons among a new clutch of twilight dragons, leading their brood in scouring Azeroth of life. Instead, they waste their incredible powers constantly bickering and fighting each other.
