Misc Important Vorago Facts
⬥ BT refers to Bomb Tank, not Base Tank. Stands furthest away from Vorago to take blue bombs.
⬥ Base refers to Base tank, stands in melee distance of Vorago and holds aggression during most of the fight.
⬥ TL5 refers to the Top Lure 5. This is a trio+ role. They perform the climb in Phase 1, and take the 5th bleed when applicable during Phase 2 and Phase 4.
⬥ Commonly used abilities/spells unique to Vorago:

Face/Phase 0
⬥ Vorago deals 70% of your maximum life points upon entry into Phase 1.
• Defender passive abilities can activate on this, so equipping a defender (e.g. 
or 
) can be nice
⬥ Challenge takes 12s. A bar charges above Vorago's head to indicate when the fight will start.
Phase 1
For Both Players
⬥ Vorago's attack rotation
⬥ Three types of auto attack at random: Melee swipe, magic Blue Bomb, or both at the same time
• Blue Bombs are thrown at the furthest player from Vorago, deal AoE magic damage in a 7x7 area, and always hit
• Melee swipes deal AoE melee damage around Vorago and around the Base Tank. They can splash.
• Vorago does not melee swipe if the player with aggro is not in melee distance.
⬥ Red Bomb deals 2k damage, comes with a non-homing Blue Bomb, clears defensives and puts them on cooldown
• Thrown at the furthest player similar to Blue Bombs
• Non-homing Blue Bomb hits in a 7x7 area. Move 4 tiles away from where you were stood to avoid this damage.
⬥ The phase can only end when the BT has successfully jumped on Vorago to release the piece of the Maul of Omens.
• If Vorago's hp goes under about 13k before this, his HP will "reset" to 80k. Try to avoid this happening.
Base Tank
⬥ 
/ 
on the northwest crack around 6 seconds on the timer. Move two north during the phase to allow BT to .
• If comfortable with Target Cycle, you can use it to target vorago at 9 seconds on the timer.
⬥ Prioritise tagging Vorago ASAP in order to prevent misluring.
• If Trio, as you tag.
⬥ Don't let Vorago move too far west. Lure Vorago east out of 
/ 
if necessary.
⬥ Expect at least 1-2 blue bombs, plus additional bombs for lures that are too far east. Prayer flick and use defensives as necessary. 
provides a big heal.
⬥ Don't Vorago back until he is low hp (<50k)
⬥ Heal the BT on jump if possible and their HP is low (BT click box is at the jump spot during the entire animation)
⬥ Move two steps west away from jumper during jump
Rotation Suggestions
⬥ 
early for the affinity
⬥ Abilities with boosted hit chance should be prioritised (e.g. 
, 
, any 
)
⬥ Build adrenaline during the jumping animation using defensive basics (not resonance)
⬥ Dump adrenaline with 
/ / 
/ 
/ 
/ 
/ other threshes after the jump.
Bomb Tank
⬥ Climb speed is paramount to survival
• Less damage is taken on faster climbs.
• The simplest climb uses surge and bladed dive across the top path to reach the voke spot quickly.
⬥ Vorago from two north and two west of the jump spot.
• Vorago's position is tile perfect for the jump
⬥ Food cannot be eaten during climb animations, but bombs will continue to land and stack damage upon animation finish. Make sure to maintain high HP.
• Most of the kill's food consumption occurs here. Do not risk death trying to save food.
⬥ Jump at <50k HP. Make sure to be high/full HP.
• Bombs can sometimes continue to land during the jump animation.
⬥ Have at least one inventory space for the Maul of Omens piece to be able to jump.
Rotation Suggestions
⬥ If Vorago's HP is >150k after :
• Do a full 
/ partial + 
rotation
⬥ If Vorago's HP is <150k after :
• Dump / / / / / / other threshes
• Use before jumping, and dump some more upon landing
Phase End Notes
⬥ DO NOT ATTACK VORAGO IF HE REGENERATES 1 HP
• Occurs at 1:09 if Vorago is phasing during this time.
Phase 2
For Both Players
⬥ Vorago's attack rotation:
⬥ Phase 2 is largely time gated. Focus on mechanics.
• One gravity orb spawns every reflect. Two are needed to progress. Missing orbs will result in additional cycles.
⬥ Use defensives to avoid food usage.
⬥ Throw 
off cooldown with your highest level weapon (not with defender or shield)
⬥ Apply affinity debuffs if possible.
⬥ Avoid moving Vorago if possible.
⬥ Vorago's Bleeds break defensives
• Appears as 
on debuff bar
• First bleed of the phase has no animation; it occurs during Vorago's spawning animation.
⬥ Reflect (Link)
• DO NOT ATTACK ON REFLECT
• Vorago is immune to damage during this time
• Damage dealt to Vorago instead goes to someone on the team
⬥ Near the end of the phase, lower Vorago's HP to under 30k and tag the final orb when it spawns
⬥ Spam click Vorago during Bring Him Down (BHD), then deal damage to free the maul piece. 
can be used to finish the phase.
• BHD damage threshold is a collective 50k. Use + basics / + 
+ basics.
• If using Shatter, the timing is 6 GCDs → [wait 1 tick] →
• Shatter is not worth using with fewer than 4 shards on Vorago.
Base Tank
⬥ Stand three squares south of the L crack to lure Vorago into base spot
⬥ Clear the first two bleeds with and 
• Use between the first and second bleeds to ensure aggro for the second bleed
⬥ the blue bomb that comes with the third bleed
⬥ Vorago after the fifth bleed.
⬥ Build to 100% adrenaline
⬥ + + the BT on red bomb release.
Bomb Tank
⬥ Use after the second bleed.
⬥ the third, the fourth (this is tick perfect), and stand still for the fifth. The Base Tank will and lure the boss away to clear the fifth bleed.
⬥ Use any number of defensives against the Blue Bombs.
⬥ Make sure to do enough damage to get Vorago's HP low before the second gravity orb spawns. Thresholds are sufficient, but a / can be used if necessary.
TL5 (if trio+)
⬥ Make sure to be in melee distance before voking to take a bleed
• 
can be used with dual-wield melee weapons to get into md.
• Players right click + use an item on Vorago to run into melee distance.
• Voking from outside of melee distance causes Vorago to move around, disrupting the phase.
⬥ Use after the fourth bleed.
⬥ Use to clear the 5th bleed when it is applied.
⬥ Step back out of melee distance after the Base vokes Vorago.
⬥ Tag red gravity orbs when they spawn.
Phase 3
can be used to reflect the damage taken from TS explosion back onto Vorago
⬥ Vitality For Both Players
⬥ Vorago's attack rotation
Suggested Rotations (Both Players)
⬥ Skip ultimates, use a thresh rotation
• Ultimates heavily disrupted by Reflect + 2 Teamsplits.
• Thresh rotations can be more reliable and easier to execute.
• Can focus more on positioning
• Don't forget to use
⬥ Use 
when possible.
⬥ If wanting to use ultimates, players can threshold/debuff Vorago after the first Teamsplit and build to / + by reflect start.
• If doing so, the second Teamsplit should be tanked to maximise time inside ultimate.
• Vitality potion 
can effectively reduce the damage taken by the teamsplit explosion.
⬥ Spam clicking Vorago + an ability inside the Teamsplit box will cause the ability to be cast as early as possible.
• Avoid using auto-attacks inside the Teamsplit as this can drag the player out.
Base Tank
⬥ and stand melee distance during reflect to reduce damage to the BT.
⬥ May take Blue Bombs due to Teamsplit box positions. Move in towards Vorago ASAP to avoid taking bombs.
Bomb Tank
⬥ May give Blue Bombs to the base or tank melee swipes due to Teamsplit box positions.
⬥ Phase can be very painful if the phase does not end by Red Bomb.
Phase 4
For Both Players
⬥ Vorago's attack rotation
⬥ Phase 4 is time gated. Focus on mechanics.
• 3 Waterfalls are required to progress the phase. Lower Vorago's HP to under 30k before the last Waterfall.
⬥ Waterfall
• Spawns in one of the four corners. Run behind it quickly, or take up to 10k damage.
• Some tiles look safe but are not. If unsure, run all the way into the corner.
• Clears active defensives and puts them on cooldown. Will also clear , so only use it once inside the waterfall.
⬥ Throw off cooldown.
⬥ Apply affinity debuffs if possible.
⬥ Clone skip
• Massive 33.6 time save if done both times
• See role sections below for each player's responsibilities
⬥ Teamsplit - same as Phase 3
⬥ No other unique mechanics. Handle the rest of the mechanics as done in previous phases.
Base Tank
⬥ Clone skip
• Base Tank walks Vorago to the wall
⬩ Turn run off, spam click Vorago + out of the Waterfall, , walk under Vorago, click near the wall in the direction that Vorago walks
• The BT may be out of bomb range, which means any potential bombs go to the Base Tank instead.
⬩ Eat to high HP in the Waterfall, prayer flick 
for Blue Bombs, and use / 
as needed.
⬥ After the skip, Vorago goes straight into Teamsplit special.
Bomb Tank
⬥ Clone skip
• BT surges to the wall opposite of Vorago
⬩ Move in when Vorago does the clone animation (fake melee swipe)
⬥ If Clone Skip fails, BT should use 
+ 
+ against the 7 Blue Bombs.
⬥ After the skip, Vorago goes straight into Teamsplit special.
• is optional this week. It can be used by the BT with + shortly after TS to mitigate food usage.
Phase 5
For Both Players
⬥ Vorago's attack rotation:
⬥ Ceilings Collapse week shares the same Phase 5 as Teamsplit
⬥ Reverse tug-of-war mechanic
• Team's damage to Vorago pushes Vorago
• Vorago's damage to the team causes push back
• and are the only defensives that should be used for push back mitigation
• Push Vorago all the way to the east, move melee distance, and click the Maul of Omens
• Teamsplit damage does not cause push back.
• Teamsplit cancels all active defensives. Players should not use until inside the appropriate team split box.
⬥ Base Tank hugs south wall, while BT hugs north wall. Players should only move away from their respective walls to clear Vorago's bleeds.
⬥ Bleeds
• Random - aggro cannot be controlled
• 3 bleeds
• Bleed damage contributes to push back. Prioritise clearing them over DPS.
• Bleeds are cleared by distance from the tile the bleed was received, not distance from Vorago in this phase.
• Move into the middle of the platform for bleeds to help with positioning to move out - Vorago does not throw blue bombs during bleeds.
• Freedom the first bleed, surge or bladed dive west for the second bleed. Stay far away until the third bleed animation. Surge east upon third bleed animation.
⬥ If the phase lasts longer than one TS, the Base Tank and BT swap roles after every set of Vorago's Bleeds.
• The player who is stood furthest out should build adrenaline to use for the first Blue after the teamsplit explodes.
⬩ If is owned, it should be used after the teamsplit forms to block the first Blue, assuming it is off cooldown. Cade would be used for the second Blue.
⬩ will be cleared by both Vorago's bleeds and the formation of the teamsplit. Using it at the wrong time makes it redundant.
Suggested Rotations (Base Tank)
⬥ Use / + in melee distance shortly after the TS spawns
• Tank the 8k TS damage. Extra time in / is important, and the HP can be recovered with 
.
• Rangers can → for good stall.
