Chief Corewright Kasreth and Trash Mobs in the Area
Notable Trash Before Chief Corewright Kasreth
- Your tank should be mindful of Shadowguard Defender's
Null Sunder stackable debuff. - If you get the
Suppression Field debuff from Flux Engineer,
use your defensive and try to minimize the amount of movement you do, the more you move
the more damage you take. In addition, once you defeat Flux Engineer,
they will drop Mana Battery. Focus it at all costs before it finishes
its explosion cast. - Interrupt Nexus Adept's
Umbra Bolt. - Important: Use your defensives during Circuit Seer's
Arcing Mana channel, it leaves group-wide stackable debuff and deals
a ton of damage. In addition, you should sidestep their
Erratic Surge
ground skillshot ability. This NPC will surge any nearby devices and
make them explode with its
Circuit Sense aura, make sure to focus them
first.
Chief Corewright Kasreth Boss Guide
All Roles
- Never pass through an active
Leyline Array as it will become lethal
without defensives. - During
Corespark Detonation, outrange the initial impact and be mindful
of the remaining
Arcane Spill after-effect. - If you get targeted by the
Reflux Charge, make sure to destroy as many
Leyline Array as possible. - Interrupt
Arcane Zap. - Sidestep the
Flux Collapse ground puddles.
Tank
- Position the boss closer to the
Leyline Array if a melee has the
Reflux Charge so they can maintain high DPS uptime.
Healer
- After each
Corespark Detonation, the boss will apply
Sparkburn
on the entire party, so always plan your healing cooldowns appropriately.
Corewarden Nysarra and Trash Mobs in the Area
Notable Trash Before Corewarden Nysarra
- If you can self-dispel yourself from the Cursed Voidcaller's
Creeping Void debuff, do it! - Avoid the
Dusk Frights (ground fear-effect) coming from Grand Nullifier
and sidestep their
Void Ritual ground puddles. - Avoid the
Dark Beckoning lethal frontal coming from Duskfright Herald. - If Dreadflail fixates you with
Flailstorm, do your best to
out-range it. Be mindful of their
Void Lash frontal as it can kill you if
you are in the wrong spot in melee.
Corewarden Nysarra Boss Guide
All Roles
- Be mindful of your surroundings when
Eclipsing Step is on you. - When Corewarden Nysarra casts
Null Vanguard, focus the
Dreadflail and Grand Nullifier as quickly as you can before
the boss casts its
Lightscar Flare phase. - During
Lightscar Flare phase, use your defensive cooldowns and save
all of your offensive abilities to do maximum damage as the boss takes 300%
more damage.
Tank
- Use your major defensive cooldowns during
Umbral Lash, be mindful
as it applies a follow-up
Void Gash debuff.

Lightscar Flare, your party members will take continuous damage,

Radiant Swarm
Fixate on you. - Interrupt Lightwrought's
Holy Bolt.
Lothraxion Boss Guide
All Roles
- If you get targeted by
Brilliant Dispersion, use your defensive cooldowns
as the follow-up DoT hits hard. Once the cast is finished, the boss will create Fractured Image
which, upon contact, will deal damage and knock you back, so always be cautious. - During the
Divine Guile, to find the right copy of the boss,
look for the horns on top of his head. If he doesn't have them, interrupt the shade
to resume the fight. Failing to do so or interrupting the wrong shade will trigger
Core Exposure, which deals a ton of damage.
