Balakar Khan (tactics)

Balakar Khan is the final boss of the Nokhud Offensive, accessible after all other bosses have been defeated.

''Balakar Khan is the ruthless leader of Clan Nokhud. His stormcasters have captured the great eagle spirit Ohn'ahra, and he wants to seize the Windmother's power. Hatred unites his clan against all "outsiders." As the relentless offensive continues, someone must stand up to this tyrant.''

The mighty Balakar Khan assaults players with deadly martial abilities like Iron Spear and Upheaval.

Upon reaching 60% health Balakar Khan calls on his clan's Stormcasters to aid him while he finishes the ritual, claiming the spirit's power for himself.

Once all the Stormcasters are defeated, Balakar rejoins the fight, now infused with the power of the storm.

• In the alpha, Balakar's Adventure Guide entry read somewhat differently: "Balakar Khan is the ruthless and mighty leader of the Nokhud clan. With the great eagle spirit Ohn’ahra captured by his stormcasters, he plans to grant himself the power of the wind. Hatred unites his clan against all "outsiders," as he calls for a return to the brutal and barbaric practices of the past. The relentless Nokhud offensive continues. Someone must stand up to its tyrannical commander."
