Onyxia
Onyxia's Lair · Classic Era
Overview
Daughter of Deathwing and sister of Nefarian, Onyxia is one of the most powerful black dragons. In the guise of a court lady, she manipulates the kingdom of Stormwind from within. She lurks in her cave in the Wyrmbog, atop a hoard gathered over the centuries.
Strategy
The fight has three phases. On the ground, the tank turns her against a wall, away from the raid: her Flame Breath and Cleave hit in front of her, her Wing Buffet knocks back the characters in front, and her Tail Sweep hits and knocks back those behind. The raid stays on her flanks. At 65% health, she takes off: she casts Fireball on areas of the raid, and swarms of whelps pour out of the egg caves, to be killed with area spells. When she announces a deep breath, she flies straight across the room and her Breath sets everything in her path on fire: get out of the way. At 40%, she lands, her threat is reset and her Bellowing Roar terrifies the raid while lava bursts from the ground: the tank quickly wins back her attention, and protect them against fear if possible.
