Belo'ren Boss Guide: Normal & Heroic Raid, March on Quel'Danas

Belo'ren Fight Strategy

The Belo'ren fight in the March on Quel'danas presents a unique challenge centered around color coordination. Players affected by the Voidlight Convergence will be assigned either a Void (blue) or Light (gold) status, which is critical for navigating the fight's mechanics. If you are Blue-Yellow Colorblind, enabling the Tritanopia filter in the game settings might be necessary.

Key Mechanics

1. Color Assignment
   • Void players turn blue.
   • Light players turn gold.

   These assignments dictate how you interact with various fight elements. It's crucial to understand that mechanics matching your color are safe, while those of the opposite color can cause significant damage.

2. Guardian’s Edict
   • The boss targets tanks with a heavy cone attack charged with either Void or Light.
   • The tank with the corresponding color should manage this cone, ensuring it is directed away from other players.
3. Orbs and Soaks
   • Lines of Void and Light orbs cross the arena.
   • Touching a matching orb clears it with minor damage; incorrect touches result in high damage.
   • Coordinate with your team to clear paths by absorbing matching orbs.
4. Eternal Burns
   • Players affected take continuous damage and receive a healing absorb.
   • Healers need to prioritize curing these players to dispel the burn effect.

Adds and Interrupts

Void and Light Phoenix adds target players for soaking, with specific mechanics based on your color assignment:

• Soaking Attacks:
• Void players deal with blue adds.
• Light players handle yellow adds.

After soaking, be aware of puddles left behind and attempt to move them aside. Adds will cast Eruption, requiring an interrupt from a player of matching color.

1. Egg Phase
   • Upon adding death, they turn into eggs that must be destroyed within 15 seconds to prevent respawning.
   • Damage the eggs promptly to keep the fight under control.

Special Phases

• Death Drop AOE:
• When Belo'ren's health depletes, he performs a damaging AOE centered in the arena.
• Move to the edges to reduce damage intake.

• Big Egg Phase:
• Damage the egg that appears to resume fighting.
• Avoid pinwheel attacks by aligning with your color.

Heroic Specific Mechanics

In Heroic difficulty, additional quill attacks target players of opposing colors, adding a layer of complexity:

• Quill Soaking:
• Arrange for a player of the quill's color to stand between you and the attack for proper absorption.

These elements make coordinating colors essential to handle the Belo'ren encounter effectively and ensure a successful raid outcome.
