Onyxia
Onyxia's Lair · Wrath of the Lich King
Overview
Daughter of Deathwing and sister of Nefarian, Onyxia is one of the most powerful black dragons. Brought back to life and stronger than ever, she once again guards her hoard in her cave in the Wyrmbog.
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 players in front, and her Tail Sweep hits and knocks back those behind. The raid stays on her flanks. At 65% health, she takes off and casts Fireball on areas of the raid. Swarms of whelps pour out of the egg caves, to be killed with area spells, and dragonspawn guards join the fight: a tank must pick them up, away from the raid. When she takes a deep breath, her Breath sweeps across the room in a straight line: get out of the way. At 40%, she lands, and her Bellowing Roar terrifies the raid while lava bursts from the ground: protect the tank against fear if possible and avoid the lava cracks.
