How to Defeat the 7 Bosses in the BFD Raid in SoD?
In the BFD raid in the Season of Discovery, you will face seven bosses. Here you will find tips on what you need to pay attention to when fighting the bosses.
1. Baron Aquanis
- If you get the debuff Depth Charge, jump into the water and swim back as soon as the debuff expires.
- Dodge Bubble Beam by standing behind the boss.
- Avoid the thunderstorms by moving to another platform.
2. Ghamoo-Ra
- Avoid the small bubbles on the floor.
- Be careful of your HP when the shell is about to break. The entire raid receives massive damage here.
- Taunt swap as soon as the tank has two stacks of the debuff Crunch Armor.
3. Lady Sarevess
- The main tank focuses on Lady Sarevess, the off-tank pulls the elite mob away.
- All damage is directed at Lady Sarevess. The Elite despawns as soon as Lady Sarevess is killed.
- Avoid standing in frosty areas.
4. Gelihast
- The main tank pulls Gelihast into the center of the room.
- Dodge Shadow Crash by not standing in the purple zone.
- Taunt swap as soon as the tank has two stacks of the debuff Shadow Strike.
- Avoid the Shadow Murlocs. They appear when Gelihast only has 10% HP left.
5. Lorgus Jett
- Defeat the waves of enemies at the start of the fight. Always kill Elite mops immediately and interrupt the healing of the priestess.
- Lorgus Jett summons three totems in the same order. The second totem Corrupted Lightning Shield Totem is the most dangerous and must be destroyed immediately. The other two totems can be ignored.
6. Twilight Lord Kelris
- Dodge Shadow Crash by not standing in the purple zone.
- Interrupt Mind Blast and especially Shadowy Chains.
- If you have received the debuff Sleep, kill the priestesses as quickly as possible. Then click on the portal to come back.
7. Aku’mai
- Don’t stand in front of Aku'mai when he does his Corrosive Blast.
- Once the tank has 3 or 4 stacks of Corrosion, they will drag the boss to one of the Cleansing Pools and stand in it. This spawns adds that need to be killed.
- Taunt swap, if the main tank has 3-4 stacks of Shadow Seep, then the off-tank takes over.
