Chapter 1764: Sapphiron

Of course, he wouldn’t slack off like the hare in the race against the tortoise . After all, he had other things to deal with as well, such as Strongholds and competitions . If he wasn’t in the Instance Dungeon team, then it usually wouldn’t operate .

Most other clubs still could keep it going, since their commanders only had the role of commanding .

While Sapphiron was alive, it was a loyal servant of Malygos the Blue Aspect .

During the battle of the Frozen Throne, Arthas met with a pitiful-looking Blue Dragon in Northrend . Sapphiron was only a normal adult Dragon when it was fighting for Malygos . However, upon being ambushed by Arthas and Anub’arak, Sapphiron was ultimately killed after being defeated . Then Arthas, using the power of the fallen, revived Sapphiron into a Frostwyrm . Sapphiron the Frostwyrm became a fang for the Scourge .

Sapphiron then became Kel’Thuzad’s mount, stationed in the depths of Naxxramas .

“There are only two more Bosses left . These are the last two of the 60s . ”

Azure Sea Breeze’s tone was first filled with excitement, then slowly turned sad .

In this moment, he suddenly had the aura of a smart, young lad .

“Let’s go!”

Unfortunately, his aura was ruined the moment Lu Li kicked him from behind .

Sapphiron didn’t have anything to say . After all, it was a pile of bones . The only thing it could express was its desire to kill all the living in front of it, no matter Dark Elf or Tauren .

It was a pile of bones, so there was no shape of a Frostwyrm yet . All the bones were laid across the large hall, and they began reassembling themselves .

Azure Sea Breeze rushed forward and immediately died .

Everyone else was in the safe zone . After seeing the tragedy that unfolded before their eyes, they just froze .

After Sapphiron exited its battle mode and turned into a pile of bones again, Lu Li then instructed someone to revive Azure Sea Breeze, and then interviewed him .

Azure Sea Breeze angrily stared at Lu Li . Why was it always him who tested out the Boss? What was even worse was that Lu Li didn’t even arrange for a Healer to heal him .

He had no chance of survival at all .

Lu Li had no plans of him returning alive .

“Believe me that I can make things worse for you,” Lu Li sighed and looked at him pitifully .

“Whatever,” Azure Sea Breeze muttered, already on the verge of tears . “Its normal attack damage is extremely high and it also has a Freeze effect to it . It decreased my movement speed, and increased damage dealt . I couldn’t even deal with three hits . I feel like it would be better if a Thief went and tested the Boss out instead . ”

“You are right . Since that’s the case, then we’ll just start for real this time,” Lu Li responded .

“Man, screw you,” Azure Sea Breeze cursed . He could only brace himself and rush forward again .

Besides the normal attack, there was also the aura damage of 600 every 2 seconds which lasted until the end of the battle . An Ice Resistance stat of 300+ would be able to decrease the damage to 200 .

As a dragon, a frontal attack of 120 degrees and a tail smash was expected .

One of its ultimate skills was Blizzard, which it would cast in two waves onto the ground . After being hit with the Blizzard, there was the effect of decreased movement speed . Two seconds later, it would deal 3700-4000 damage to players . Blizzard was the same type as Ouro’s skill, where they needed to predict the Boss’ movements to be able to avoid it .

There was also a curse every 30 seconds for seven random targets . The players hit with the curse would be dealt 2000 damage every two seconds, and it would heal the Boss for 4000 HP .

In the first 35 seconds of the battle, the Dragon would soar in the air and spit out 5 Frostbolts after 10 seconds at random targets . Players hit by the Frostbolt would receive around 3000 Ice damage and be Frozen . Moreover, they were unable to be healed .

It was different to how Lu Li imagined it to be . They had already lost a lot of players in this phase .

He remembered that the frozen players wouldn’t receive the aura damage anymore . However, in the present reality, the aura damage still remained .

There was also the 3000 damage from being in the range of 10 metres from the frozen players . This was unable to be resisted . In the end, the Dragon would spit out a large ice ball, dealing 60,000 damage to the whole area . After this, the Dragon would land on the ground .

No one could tank 60,000 damage . Fortunately, all the frozen players were grouped together, so they could just hide behind them to avoid the damage .

The interval between the Dragon landing and flying again was 70 seconds .

This Boss didn’t have phases to it . The whole fight consisted of the Boss cycling through its skills . The order of the skills would be figured out quite quickly . The issue was how to solve this problem .

There were quite a bit of Ice Resistance items from before . Even Lu Li managed to string together four or five pieces, some of which were Dark Gold and Epic . Now, they definitely needed it . It was necessary for them to lose out on DPS for them to have a chance at surviving in Sapphiron’s frozen world .

Shamans and Paladins could increase the team’s resistance, so Lu Li arranged for two Shamans and a

few Paladins to join them .

As for what potions to use, this was straightforward . At the moment, they just needed to get the equipment and potions right . They were spending hundreds of thousands of dollars each day on

So shameless!

The Boss’ curse was difficult to deal with . They needed to make sure that they had enough players to dispel the curses . Fortunately, the alliance with the three clubs provided enough support for this .

They still needed to determine positioning . It wasn’t too difficult, since they just needed to figure out where to stand to survive and where to stand while battling .

They needed to reposition themselves a lot during the battle . After the Dragon soared into the air, they had to spread out and avoid the Frostbolts . However, they also had to keep close together so that they could shelter themselves behind the frozen players in time for the ice ball attack .

Making a beeline for the frozen players was a must . No matter where they were, they needed to immediately rush behind a frozen player .

Mages were the only exception .

Mages knew Ice Block and also could teleport . No matter where the frozen players were, the Mages would be able to teleport behind them and avoid the damage .

However, less mobile classes needed to realise the positions of the frozen players immediately . If they were too far away when the ice ball struck, then they would be destined for death .

Because there was also the issue of the Dragon soaring and landing on the ground, aggro also had to be considered . The team also wiped multiple times because of this . It took them a few days to figure out how to avoid being wiped because of aggro .

All in all, Sapphiron was a Boss that required the players to be prepared before the battle . 300 Ice Resistance was a minimum requirement . Healing was also important, so players had to make sure to avoid receiving unnecessary damage and prepare sufficient healing items for emergencies .

While they were nearing the end of Sapphiron, the results for the Shadow Cup Quarterfinals were also revealed .
