Strategy
- Everyone
- Beware of Niuzao's charge. Approximately every minute, Niuzao will cast Charge, which causes him to run around the arena in a predictable pattern, dealing very high damage to everyone within 30 yards of him. Stay somewhere safe instead of running after him.
- When you die, wait until you respawn and run back.
- Tanks
- Taunt when the other tank gets headbutted. Niuzao's Headbutt inflicts very high damage on the current tank, knocking them back and removing all threat. When this happens, you need to taunt the boss and tank it until the next Headbutt.
- Healers
- Players take increasing damage. Every minute, Niuzao stacks a debuff on players called Oxen Fortitude.
- Heal through Massive Quake. Every minute, Niuzao casts Massive Quake, which deals damage every second for 10 seconds. Simply heal through it, nothing else happens during that time.
- DPS
- Kill Niuzao.
- If you find yourself on top of the aggro table after Headbutt, do your best to survive until a tank picks up the boss.
