How To Beat A World Boss

World Boss Ashava Fighting Multiple Players

World Bosses are incredibly powerful enemies that require a team of players to defeat. As with a normal boss fight, the boss has phases indicated by arrows on its health bar. It also has a stagger bar underneath the health for players to track. Each boss has its own associated mechanics and damage type. Best practices are to come wearing gear with resistances to the damage type of the boss, as well as chugging the relevant elixir.

If you are wondering why you haven't seen World Bosses spawning as you play, it may be because you haven't yet finished the campaign. New players will remain blissfully unaware when a world boss spawns, while players in the end-game will be notified of a World Boss and will see it on the map.
