World of Warcraft: Mana-Forge Omega Nexus King Salhadaar Guide (Normal & Heroic)
The Nexus King Salhadaar fight consists of 3 phases and 2 intermission phases. In phase 1, tanks alternate aggro, and the cleansing ring is overlapped on the group to remove Oath stacks. In the intermission phase, the group splits up and moves through portals to platforms to kill adds. In the final phase, players spread out to the edges to summon Dark Stars, and Starkiller Swing missiles are aimed at the Dark Stars to destroy them.
1. ⚔️ Phase 1: Oath Stack Management and Key Mechanic Responses
- ✅ Divide the raid into two groups, placing a tank in each group.
- ✅ Tanks alternate between the Vanquish cone and Conquer ring combo.

- ✅ Behead creates claw lines on the targeted player, so move away from the group.
- ✅ Besiege fires dangerous void lasers, so avoid them.
- ✅ Heal the various raid damage and damage over time (DoT).

5. ✨ Heroic Difficulty Additions
- ✅ Dying in Phase 1 will cause your character to be mind-controlled.
- ✅ In Phase 2, the Dimension Breath received by the tank deals raid damage based on the amount of damage the tank took.
- ✅ In Phase 3, the Dark Stars orbit the platform, making it more difficult to avoid the spike rings and hit the Starkiller missiles.
