Bosses in this encounter
- Warchief Rend Blackhand
- Gyth
Overview
The son of Blackhand the Destroyer, Rend sees himself as the only rightful warchief of the Horde and rejects Thrall's authority. Allied with Nefarian, he commands the spire's orcs, trolls and ogres, and rides Gyth, a chromatic drake born from the black dragons' experiments.
Strategy
The fight takes place in the stadium. Several waves of whelps, dragonkin and orcs pour in through a gate before Gyth arrives with Rend on his back. Save your mana between waves. Gyth uses his Flame Breath, his Corrosive Acid Breath, which lowers armor, and his Freeze, which stuns the characters in front of him: the tank turns him away from the group, who stay on his sides. He also pushes his target away with Knock Away. When Gyth is weakened, Rend dismounts and joins the fight: his Whirlwind hits nearby characters, his Mortal Strike reduces the healing his target receives, and he grows stronger with Enrage. The tank keeps him away from the spellcasters, and melee characters stand behind him to avoid his Cleave.
