Loot

Valiona and Theralion make up the second boss encounter in the Bastion of Twilight. They are located in the Twilight Enclave part of the instance and considered a moderately difficult fight, particularly in comparison to the preceding fight, Halfus Wyrmbreaker. The world first heroic kill was by Paragon (25 person) on 2 January 2010.

Abilities

Valiona and Theralion share an HP pool as well as threat. They do not reset upon landing or taking off.

Valiona

Grounded

  • Spell fire twilightnova Blackout — Dispellable debuff placed on a player, absorbs 20,000 healing and when dispelled or expired causes 250,000 shadow damage split between all nearby players.
  • Spell fire twilightflamebreath Devouring Flames — Valiona faces a random player, casts for 3 seconds then engulfs half the room in flames that inflict 100000 Shadow damage to enemies in front of Valiona. Devouring Flames inflicts less damage to enemies the farther away they are from Valiona.

Flying

  • Spell fire twilightpyroblast Twilight Meteorite — Debuff placed on a random player, after 6 seconds inflicts 117000 to 123000 Shadow damage to enemies within 8 yards, splitting damage to nearby enemies.
  • Spell fire twilightflamebreath Deep Breath — Valiona takes a deep breath and begins to cast Twilight Flames which inflict 14625 to 15375 Shadow damage per second and send the target into the Twilight Realm!

Theralion

Grounded

  • Spell holy consumemagic Engulfing Magic — The Engulfing Magic mirrors all damage and healing you do, inflicting Shadow damage equal to the damage or healing you do to allies within 10 yards of you for 20 seconds!
  • Spell fire twilightflamebreath Fabulous Flames — Spits flames on the ground, the Fabulous Flames inflict 10725 to 11275 Shadow damage every 1 sec.


Flying

  • Spell fire twilightflamestrike Dazzling Destruction — Causes swirling ground effects to appear, five seconds after appearing 487500 to 512500 shadow damage to every player within the blast zone, and knocks them into the Twilight Zone.
  • Spell fire twilightflamestrike Twilight Blast — The Twilight Blast inflicts 19500 to 20500 Shadow damage to enemies within 8 yards of the target.

Strategy

When you enter the chamber, Valiona will be on the right and Theralion on the left. Valiona will start out fighting the raid while Theralion flies around, then they switch places periodically and repeat this process for the duration of the fight. Theralion's phase lasts somewhat longer than Valiona's.

Before each transition, the airborne dragon will cast an ability (Dazzling Destruction for Theralion, Deep Breath for Valiona) that transports those afflicted to the Twilight Realm, where Twilight Fiends can be found. Although both abilities can be avoided with relative ease, killing six Twilight Fiends is the objective of the achievement Achievement dungeon bastion-of-twilight valiona-theralion [Double Dragon].

The fight has a hard enrage timer of ten minutes.

Valiona

While Valiona is on the ground, positioning is a balancing act between spreading out for Theralion's Twilight Blasts but grouping up to minimize damage taken from Valion'as Blackout. When Valiona begins to cast Devouring Flames, the raid should run through her or otherwise ensure they are not in front of her in order to avoid the damage.

After two Blackouts, Theralion will cast Dazzling Destruction, which creates two large void zones that do damage and transport those that stand in them to the Twilight Realm. He will insta-kill anyone left standing here after about 10 seconds. He will then land and Valiona takes off. Another Blackout will come during Dazzling Destruction.

Theralion

During Theralion's phase, people need to group up to absorb the damage from Twilight Meteorite does while strafing to avoid Fabulous Flames and staying out of Deep Breath. Those affected by Engulfing Magic need to run away from the raid unless forced to stay due to being the target of a Twilight Meteorite, in which case they should stop damaging the boss to avoid wiping the raid.

There are different approaches to handling this phase, but usually people will mark someone to follow, or possibly split into groups (such as melee and ranged), so you can move together to avoid the fire while minimizing the damage from Twilight Meteorites. Alternatively the raid can spread out and whoever is affected by Twilight Meteorite can group up with some other raid members (1 on 10 man, 3-4 on 25 man) to share the damage. The second method means less movement and potential damage lost due to Engulfing Magic, but requires more coordination.

After two Engulfing Magics (about 120 seconds), Valiona will take a deep breath and fill one third of the room with flames. She will do this three times to different areas of the room, much like Felmyst in Sunwell Plateau, and the raid needs to move somewhere not affected by Deep Breath each time she begins to cast it. Once she is done, Valiona will land, Theralion will take off, and Phase 1 begins again.
