What you must not do

  • Kill the copies first. Flamea cannot be hurt while they live
  • Bring mixed unit types. Only a type advantage damages a copy
  • Your Lava Shield is once per battle. Assign the carriers before the raid starts
  • Everyone stands on a shield carrier for Burning Skies
  • Leave no Magma Daemon alive. Each survivor is 5% of the boss
  • Shadowflame runs away from the group. Every jump hits 50% harder

The fight, phase by phase

6 phases
1

Burning Illusion: why your damage stops working

Every time Flamea loses 35% of its HP it changes phase and creates Illusory Legions out of 8 random Legions.

  • Copies carry the same Heroes, Artifacts, unit types and attributes as the originals
  • They take more damage, but only a Legion with a type advantage over them can hurt them at all
  • Flamea is Invulnerable for as long as a single copy is alive

So the copies are not a distraction, they are the damage phase. Every point you put into Flamea while they stand is thrown away.

Bring a spread of unit types. A raid stacked into one type will eventually face a copy that nothing present can touch, and the phase simply never ends.

Burning Illusion

Burning Illusion

Each time it loses 35% of its HP, Flamea changes phases and creates Illusory Legions out of 8 random Legions. Illusory Legions have the same Heroes, Artifacts, unit types, and attributes as the original Legions. They take more damage, but only Legions that have advantage over their unit type can deal damage to them. Flamea is Invulnerable while there are Illusory Legions in its Lair.

Lava Shield, and the reason it exists

On each phase change, 4 Lava Shields appear along the edge of the Lair.

  • Gathering one grants immunity to all damage for 30 seconds
  • Each Legion can only gather 1 Lava Shield per battle. Not per phase. Per battle

That limit is the trap. A Legion that grabs a shield in the first phase because it happened to be nearby has nothing left for any later Burning Skies. Shields are assigned, not scavenged.

Note on how the shield covers people. The skill text describes it as immunity for the Legion that gathers it. In practice raids report a visible circle around the carrier and everyone inside it surviving, which is also the only reading where four shields can protect a forty Legion raid. Play it that way: the four carriers spread out and everyone else picks a carrier and stands on them. If you have never run this fight, that formation is safe under either reading.

Lava Shield

Lava Shield

When changing phases, Flamea summons 4 Lava Shields along the edge of her Lair. When gathered, the Legion becomes immune to all damage for 30s. Each Legion can only gather 1 Lava Shield per battle.

Burning Skies

Burning Skies

After an extended charge-up, Flamea unleashes raging flames that instantly kill all Legions in its Lair. Legions using Lava Shield are immune to this damage.

3

Burning Skies

After an extended charge-up, Flamea instantly kills every Legion in its Lair.

Legions using a Lava Shield are immune. There is no other counter. No dodge, no range, no wall.

The charge-up is long on purpose. That is your window: call it, everyone gets under a shield, ride it out.

4

Hand of Flamea

Flamea summons Magma Daemons along the edge of the Lair. They cast Flaming Orb (2% of maximum Unit Count near the impact) for 60 seconds.

Every Daemon still alive when the timer ends disappears and restores 5% of Flamea's HP. Four survivors hands back 20% of the boss.

Clear them all before the window closes. This is where a raid loses a fight it was winning.

Hand of Flamea

Hand of Flamea

Flamea summons Magma Daemons along the edge of its lair that cast Flaming Orb for 60s. After this time, any undefeated Magma Daemons will disappear, each one restoring 5% of Flamea's HP.

Ongoing damage

  • Waves of Flame: a forward arc taking 4% of maximum Unit Count per second for 12 seconds, while Flamea slowly rotates in random directions. The safe side does not stay safe. Keep reading it
  • Shadowflame Fetter: marks a Legion for 20% of maximum Unit Count, then the flame transmits to another Legion in range, up to 10 times, gaining 50% damage on every jump. Marked Legions get clear of everyone. The tenth jump is many times the first
  • Rain of Fire: from the third phase onward, a fireball lands on a random Legion every 9 seconds for 15% of maximum Unit Count nearby
  • Magma Eruption: a charge-up, then 20% of maximum Unit Count to everything in melee range, and it repels what it hits
  • Tongues of Flame: when its target is too far away Flamea switches to ranged, 20% of maximum Unit Count around the impact. Keeping the tank close keeps this off the raid
  • Pyromancy and Firefall are forward arcs; Ignition hits everything around it
