Kel'Thuzad
Naxxramas · Frostwyrm Lair · Classic Era
Overview
A former sorcerer of the Kirin Tor of Dalaran, Kel'Thuzad became the Lich King's most powerful lieutenant. After his death at Arthas's hands, he returned as a lich and commands the Scourge from the necropolis of Naxxramas.
Strategy
During the first phase, he stays invulnerable and waves of servants pour out of the room's alcoves: kill them. He then comes down to fight: his Frostbolt hits hard and should be interrupted, his Frost Blast freezes and hurts several characters, and his Shadow Fissure kills anyone who stays on it. Detonate Mana makes a character's mana explode, and they move away right away. With Chains of Kel'Thuzad, he takes control of several characters. Around 45% health, guardians join the fight: tanks hold them.
