Nymue Raid Guide in Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope

• Areas of the pattern on the floor will be lit up. Crossing over these will apply Verdant Matrix.
• Tanks: Run away with Weaver's Burden, and taunt swap.
• Tanks - Heroic After Weaver's Burden, you will take 100% more Nature damage for 30 seconds.
• Heroic: Weaver's Burden will go on more players, and they will all create Barrier Blossom, which needs to be placed far away from the raid.
• Stand on Surging Growth pools to make them despawn faster and lower raid damage taken.
• Healers: Every Surging Growth pool will deal ticking damage to the raid.
• Avoid the slow moving Impending Loom lines. If you are hit, you will be stunned.

• When Nymue reaches 100% energy, the raid needs to split in two even groups and attack the Cycle Wardens.
• Nymue takes 99% less damage until the Cycle Wardens are defeated.
• Tanks: Make sure Cycle Wardens do not cross the Verdant Matrix lines as they will deal raid-wide damage with Verdant Rend.
• Avoid Lumbering Slam.
• Heroic: This spawns Surging Growth pools.
• After the two Cycle Wardens have been defeated, group up to be healed through the Continuum damage.
• Nymue will become active once more but with more Verdant Matrix patterns active and a faster ability cycle.

• If you are struggling to see mechanics on this encounter. Enabling the colourblind setting for "3. Tritanopia" may help.

• Before you begin the encounter, split your raid into two even groups (the same as you did for Volcoross) for the intermission. These teams will go either left or right for the Cycle Wardens.
• The room is a mechanic! Verdant Matrix lines are lit up on the floor. If you cross over any of these you will have a stacking debuff applied to you.
• This debuff stacks if you are standing on the line as well. Classes with blinks/teleports are great for soaking Surging Growth as they will take less damage from not having to cross any lines.
• Tanks: Nymue's auto attack Threaded Blast is a mix between physical and nature damage.
• Weaver's Burden will be applied to the tank and will detonate after 12 seconds. The tank should run away from the raid, detonate along the edge of the room and run back to the boss. Whilst you are running back, you will have Inflorescence applied to you, which makes you able to cross over the Verdant Matrix lines without taking damage and move 60% faster!

Video example of Weaver's Burden and moving away with it

• Weaver's Burden is the tank swap.
• Surging Growth pools will spawn around the boss and the encounter area. These will deal ticking damage to the raid, which increases for every pool that remains. Each pool will remain active for 1 minute but can be removed by standing on them. Multiple players standing on a single pool will make it disappear faster. Ranged DPS and Healers should be spread out to cover more of the encounter area without having to cross over the Verdant Matrix.

• Impending Loom are slow-moving stun lines that move from Nymue to the edge of the room. The areas they cover will get wider the further they travel, so be ready to avoid them.

Video example of avoiding Impending Loom lines

• Weaver's Burden is now applied to a few other players in addition to the tank.
• Weaver's Burden now applies Woven Resonance to the tank, making them take 100% more nature damage for 20 seconds.
• Weaver's Burden now creates Barrier Blossom where it explodes creating a pool which knocks back players who touch it. It is imperative that you place these as far away as possible so you do not have Surging Growth stuck underneath them.

• When Nymue reaches 100% energy, the intermission will begin. In this phase, Nymue will gain Life Ward from the two Cycle Wardens that have spawned, which reduce her damage taken by 99%. The raid should split onto each Cycle Warden and defeat them.
• The Cycle Wardens cannot cross over the Verdant Matrix, or else they will trigger Verdant Rend. If this triggers, it is likely a wipe. Tanks be very mindful of your movement of these!
• Radial Flourish spawns a pattern (similar to Larodar) around them of swirlies you need to avoid.
• Lumbering Slam is a frontal pointed at a random player. Stay close to the Cycle Warden to make avoiding this easy.

Video example of Lumbering Slam

• After both Cycle Wardens are defeated, the raid should move back to Nymue for Continuum. This deals a large amount of damage to the entire raid over 10 seconds and adds new Verdant Matrix lines to the room before returning back to the Main Phase.

• Lumbering Slam will now spawn Surging Growth's. Soak these quickly.

Currently, this tab will only contain information on what changes on Mythic. A more robust strategy will be added after the raid goes live.

• Ephemeral Flora are new pools to soak and are indicated by a red circle around them.
• After any pool is soaked, Reclamation will trigger exploding that area after a few seconds.
• In the intermission a third add spawns, this requires your raid to split into three. This add does not need to be tanked. But has a Line of Sight barrier, so players need to go inside the barrier to attack the add and heal players who are attacking the add. (Very similar to Kel'Thuzad in Sanctum of Domination)
• Players on this new add will need to avoid Waking Decimation lines.
• Verdant Rend is cast every 15 seconds if you kill one Cycle Warden before the other, adding a DPS balancing element to the intermission.
