General Information

On this page, we list all the abilities from the Imonar the Soulhunter encounter in Antorus, the Burning Throne. The idea is to give you a solid understanding of the encounter before you read the strategy.

If you are already familiar with the encounter, then you can skip to the strategy and tactics page or access any other page of the guide by using the table of contents on the right.

Imonar the Soulhunter is a three-phase encounter, featuring two intermissions to split the fight. Many of his abilities, as well as the fight area itself, are focused on environmental mechanics, crowd control, and area denial.

Shock Lance deals Physical damage to the current target and stacks a debuff that increases damage taken by 10% for 20 seconds. The target also shocks an additional nearby player with Electrify every 3 seconds for each stack. Electrify deals moderate Nature damage.

Sleep Canister targets random players, putting them to sleep for 20 seconds, rendering them unable to attack or use abilities. This effect can be dispelled, however it triggers an explosion of Slumber Gas within 10 yards when it is removed. Slumber Gas puts players to sleep for 8 seconds.

Pulse Grenades target random players periodically. Coming into contact with a Pulse Grenade causes it to explode, dealing heavy Nature damage and applying Shocked to players within 3 yards. Additionally, the players hit are knocked back. Shocked increases Nature damage taken by 50% for 20 seconds, per stack.

Infernal Rockets only target players who attempt to leave the platform area and stand on the bridge. Infernal Rockets deal moderate Fire damage and increase Fire damage taken by 25% for 30 seconds, per stack.

At 66% health, Imonar the Soulhunter leaps across the bridge to a secondary platform. Players must cross the bridge and interrupt his cast to trigger Phase Two, all the while avoiding the traps lain by the boss. All traps are triggered by physical contact.

Seared Skin inflicts moderate Fire damage every second to players attempting to stand on the flaming edges of the bridge. A debuff that increases all damage taken by 75% for 60 seconds is also applied with every tick.

Stasis Traps litter the bridge. Stepping on a Stasis Trap deals moderate Fire damage and stuns all players within 3 yards for 8 seconds.

Pulse Grenades are present throughout this intermission and function identically to Phase One.

Blastwires inflict moderate raid wide Fire damage when triggered.

Shrapnel Mines litter the bridge. Stepping on a mine triggers a Shrapnel Blast, hitting all players within 4 yards for moderate Physical damage, and applying a bleed that ticks every 2 seconds for 30 seconds.

Imonar the Soulhunter channels Conflagration throughout the phase. Flaming orbs travel slowly down the bridge in lines. Coming into contact with an orb inflicts moderate Fire damage and reduces movement speed by 50% for 8 seconds. Imonar takes 99% less damage while Conflagration is being channeled.

Conflagration can be interrupted, and doing so ends the intermission. Any flaming orbs that were already spawned will now also deal heavy Fire damage every 2 seconds, for 8 seconds, when coming into contact with a player.

Gathering Power ticks periodically throughout the intermission, inflicting Fire damage and increasing all damage done by 3% for 20 seconds, per stack. This effect grows in intensity until Conflagration is interrupted.

Phase Two begins with Imonar the Soulhunter at ~66% health and on a new platform.

Sever is cast on the current Tank, dealing heavy Physical damage and applying a bleed that deals Physical damage every 2 seconds for 18 seconds. This effect stacks.

Charged Blasts originate from Legion starfighters summoned by Imonar the Soulhunter. Players are marked with a red symbol above their head and a debuff. After 7 seconds, the Legion ship fires in a line, striking all targets for heavy Fire damage. This effect also applies a debuff that deals heavy Fire damage every 3 seconds for 18 seconds. Anyone struck is knocked away. The targeted players cannot evade this effect.

As in the intermission, Imonar the Soulhunter will lay Shrapnel Mines periodically. Coming into contact with a mine triggers a Shrapnel Blast, which deals Physical damage and applies a ticking bleed for 30 seconds.

Infernal Rockets are present in this phase and function in an identical fashion to Phase One.

At 33% health Imonar the Soulhunter will return to his starting platform, leaping back across the bridge and laying a fresh series of traps while channeling Conflagration. There are no ability changes from the first Intermission, so refer to that section for information.

Phase Three begins at ~33% health on the original platform.

Empowered Shock Lance deals Physical damage to the current target and stacks a debuff that increases damage taken by 10% forever. The target also shocks an additional nearby player with Empowered Electrify every 3 seconds for each stack. Empowered Electrify deals moderate Nature damage.

Empowered Pulse Grenades are periodically applied to several players for 46 seconds. Empowered Pulse Grenades knock away and deal Nature damage to players within 5 yards, every 2 seconds.

Any Shrapnel Mines triggered in this phase apply Empowered Shrapnel Blast, which inflicts heavy Fire damage and applies a ticking DoT to players within 3 yards. The DoT ticks for Fire damage every 2 seconds and lasts forever.

Infernal Rockets are present in this phase and function in an identical fashion to Phases One and Two.
