Niuzao (tactics)
Last wiki revision 2023-04-25
Niuzao is a world boss in Timeless Isle.
''The trial of Niuzao is a test of bravery and fortitude. When Emperor Shaohao was overcome with fear, the Black Ox counseled him to face his fears directly. After a protacted battle with the Sha of Fear, the Emperor emerged victorious. To pass the trial of the Ox, warriors must be resolute in the face of overwhelming danger.''
Niuzao is generally considered the easiest of the four celestials, with the only truly deadly attack being the easily dodged Charge. Two tanks are required. The Black Ox will periodically use headbutt, knocking the current tank back quite a ways and wiping threat. The second tank should immediately pick up the boss and swap back when he headbutts again. The Oxen Fortitude debuff should not come into play unless the battle drags on. If it does, the healers should be ready for a harder time as the fight progresses due to the increase in health and damage. Niuzao's Massive Quake will deal a large amount of raid-wide damage. There is no way to avoid this and must be healed through. Niuzao will start off charge by running to the middle of the arena, casting for about 3 seconds, and then start rushing around the perimeter of the arena. Avoid the middle of the arena when Niuzao is casting, then stack in the middle. The boss will not hit the raid since he only moves about the perimeter during Charge.
