Adventure Guide[]
High Sage Viryx has dedicated her rule wholly to harnessing Apexis artifacts in service of Rukhmar's will. At last, thanks to the completion of the massive crystal superweapon that focuses the sun's energy to destroy their enemies, it is time for the arakkoa to claim their rightful place as rulers of Draenor.
Overview[]
High Sage Viryx calls down the powerful arakkoa focusing lens to scorch the ground beneath his foes, as Shield Constructs enter to protect their master.

Abilities[]
- Cast Down — High Sage Viryx summons a Solar Zealot to grab a player and throw them over the balcony.
- Lens Flare — The caster calls down a beam of intensely focused sunlight to follow a randomly chosen target. The beam will slowly trail the victim for a short while, causing the ground in its wake to burn all enemies for 15000 Fire damage every second.
- Solar Burst — Inflicts 46250 to 53750 Fire damage to an enemy.
- Shielding — The Arakkoa Shield Construct extends a shield over High Sage Viryx, preventing 99% damage from all sources.
Strategy[]
Cast Down is Viryx's most deadly ability, summoning an adherent to pick up a random party member and drop them off the edge of the balcony similar to the Lich King's Summoned Valkyr. Lens Flare will create a large patch of fire under one of the party members. Positioning is important because if the party stacks too close to the center of the arena, it will be much harder to dodge Lens Flare, but if they stack too far apart or close to the edge, it will be harder to save players from being dropped. Viryx should be tanked close to the entrance to keep a good distance between the cliff and the melee.
Viryx will also summon Shield Constructs which spawn at the entrance to the arena. They must be killed quickly and their shield ability interrupted. If the party is going for [Monomania], the constructs can be safely cc'd by anything that affects mechanical targets. A hunter's freezing trap is especially effective.
