Phase Transition

in

It's a floor wax! It's a dessert topping! No, it's a Phase Transition! Common to virtually all boss encounters, this is a condition where the boss switches from one form of attack (or one vulnerability) to another. Some bosses have a distinct set of phases which occur in a set order, while others will oscillate from one phase to another and back again.

This is what occurs when players break the Add-Powered Bubble.

Examples

  • Too numerous to list.
  • Black Temple
    • Illidan Stormrage, one of the most complex fights in the game, has no less than five phases.
