•  Overview
Players battle the brewmaster Rook Stonetoe, the rogue He Softfoot, and the priest Sun Tenderheart, as the three Fallen Protectors assault the raid simultaneously. At 66% and 33% health remaining, each Protector performs Desperate Measures, manifesting spirits of fallen allies to bring new and powerful attacks to bear against the raid until those spirits are defeated. |
| | •  Damage Dealers - Each Protector channels  Bond of the Golden Lotus at 1% health remaining, and will recover unless all three are defeated at once. Defeat the dark manifestations summoned by each Protector's Desperate Measures to end that phase. During Rook's Desperate Measures, interrupt Embodied Gloom's  Corruption Shock. |
| | •  Healers - Dispel Sun Tenderheart's  Shadow Word: Bane quickly before it spreads. During Sun Tenderheart's Desperate Measures, her  Dark Meditation inflicts sustained damage to the entire raid. |
| | •  Tanks - If tanking Rook Stonetoe, position him carefully so that his  Vengeful Strikes do not damage the raid. If tanking He Softfoot, turn your back when he performs  Gouge to avoid being incapacitated. |
•  Bond of the Golden Lotus - Rook Stonetoe, He Softfoot, and Sun Tenderheart share a spiritual bond, linking their fates to each other. Upon reaching 1 health, each of them will begin to cast Bond of the Golden Lotus if any of the other Protectors are still in combat, restoring 20% of maximum health upon completion. Bringing all three Protectors to 1 health simultaneously will restore clarity to their clouded minds. |
