SS Antorus, the Burning Throne
The Antoran High Command (or the War Council) is a trio of eredar bosses in Antorus, the Burning Throne: Admiral Svirax, Chief Engineer Ishkar, General Erodus.
''Long ago, in the golden age of eredar civilization, a council was formed to oversee the defense of Argus and maintain peace. But after their dark bargain was struck with Sargeras, these master tacticians used their military expertise to help orchestrate a Burning Crusade that ravaged countless worlds.''
Now the full might of the Legion's army is theirs to command, and they wield this terrible power to annihilate all who oppose the Dark Titan's will.
The Antoran High Command's three commanders attack their enemies both face to face and from inside their command pods. Only one commander is out of their pod at any given time, and commanders still in their pods attack their enemies using the might of the Legion military. While a commander is attacking directly, their command pod is empty and can be commandeered. After a period attacking their enemies face to face, commanders will Assume Command and return to their pod. On Mythic difficulty, Screaming Shrikes will appear periodically and channel Extract Interloper in an to attempt to remove your allies from command pods they have commandeered. Additionally, the effects of Psychic Scarring last for the duration of combat.
- Group up under a Felshield to mitigate the effects of Fusillade.
- Interrupt Fanatical Pyromancers when they cast Pyroblast.
- Make maximum use of Legion command pods when one is vacated by the enemy.
- Group up under a Felshield to mitigate the effects of Fusillade.
- Focus additional healing on allies who enter a Command Pod as they suffer the effects of Psychic Assault.
- Quickly heal allies targeted by Chaos Pulse, and dispel the effects it leaves behind.
- Group up under a Felshield to mitigate the effects of Fusillade.
- Position active commanders facing away from allies so they do not get hit by Exploit Weakness.
- Avoid taking too many consecutive strikes from Exploit Weakness.
Each commander has powerful abilities they can only access while they inhabit their command pod.
- Admiral Svirax
- Chief Engineer Ishkar
- General Erodus
- Fanatical Pyromancer
- Felblade Shocktrooper
While out of their command pod, each commander fights their enemies more directly.
While a commander is out of their pod and attacking directly, players can commandeer the pod and use its powerful abilities. This causes the player to suffer a Psychic Assault, which will eventually overwhelm and kill the player for meddling with powers beyond their station.
