- Resource Management: Efficient management of cooldowns, potions, and resources is pivotal in ensuring that the team can navigate through the most challenging segments of the dungeon, especially during high-tension boss fights and complex enemy engagements.
Strategy/Resource | Timing/Usage | Description |
Combat Resurrections | - Party begins with 1 charge at the beginning of the dungeon. - Additional charge every 10 minutes. - Maximum of 5 charges that can be stored. | Combat Resurrections are a shared resource across the entire party. Charges are expended when someone accepts a resurrection. |
Gear and Talent Locks | - Once the dungeon starts. | Gear swaps are not allowed except for Weapons in Dragonflight. Talents are also locked inside a Mythic+ dungeon. However, players can zone out of the dungeon to swap gear or talents before zoning back in. |
Party Composition | - One tank. - One healer. - Three DPS. | Proper execution is a bigger factor in the party's success than any particular composition. However, it's beneficial to have at least one source of AoE and Single Target stuns, Interrupts, Offensive dispels, and both AoE/cleave and single-target DPS. |
Challenger's Burden | - Whenever a player dies, 5 seconds is removed from the timer as a penalty. | Forces the party to consider whether a "death run" is strategically beneficial. If accidental deaths are too frequent, the party will run out its clock before completing the dungeon. |
Mythic Keystones | - Player may only possess one Mythic Keystone at a time.- Keystone expires on the weekly dungeon lockout. | Mythic Keystones are special items that allow a player to begin a Mythic+ dungeon. The tooltip for these Keystones lists important information about the dungeon, level, affixes, and remaining duration. |

These dungeons, teeming with formidable foes, complex mechanics, and stringent timers, become a crucible where your skills, strategies, and teamwork are put to the ultimate test.
- Precision in Execution: High-level keystones demand impeccable execution of strategies, where every interrupt, stun, and cooldown becomes pivotal. Ensuring that every mechanic is navigated with precision and every enemy engagement is optimized becomes crucial.

- Optimizing Pulls and Engagement: Efficiently navigating through enemy engagements, optimizing pulls, and ensuring that resource and cooldown management is meticulously planned becomes paramount. Every second counts, and ensuring that enemy engagements are both swift and resource-efficient is crucial.

- Navigating Through Affix Challenges: High-level keystones introduce additional affixes, each bringing forth unique challenges and strategic conundrums. Crafting strategies that not only navigate through these challenges but also leverage them to your advantage when possible becomes a key aspect of advanced Mythic+ runs.
Affix | Description | Advanced Navigation Strategy |
Fortified | Every non-boss enemy in the dungeon will have more health and damage. | - Avoid aggressive pulls. - Monitor the tank closely during large pulls. - Consider using crowd control for challenging groups. - Tanks should use cooldowns more liberally. |
Tyrannical | Bosses have increased health and damage. | - Prioritize dodging and interrupting boss mechanics. - Plan Bloodlust/Timewarp for challenging bosses. - Ensure healers are prepared for increased damage intake. |

Bolstering | When non-boss enemies die, they buff the health and damage of nearby allies. | - Focus on evenly distributing damage to ensure enemies die simultaneously. - Be cautious when pulling trash onto bosses, as bosses can be bolstered. |
Sanguine | When non-boss enemies die, they leave a pool on the ground that heals enemies and damages players. | - Avoid standing in sanguine pools. - Reposition enemies out of pools using abilities like Death Grip or Typhoon. - Be mindful of body pulling additional groups. |
Bursting | When slain, non-boss enemies explode, causing all players to suffer damage over time. | - Stagger enemy deaths to manage the bursting debuff. - Healers should be prepared to heal the group after large pulls. - Use defensive cooldowns if multiple stacks are applied. |
Necrotic | Enemy attacks apply a stacking debuff that reduces healing received. | - Tanks should be prepared to kite when stacks get too high. - Utilize stuns, snares, and knockbacks to manage stacks. - Clear stacks whenever possible. |
Grievous | Players who fall below 90% health suffer increasing damage over time until healed above it. | - Healers should prioritize players with higher stacks. - Players should utilize self-heals and defensive cooldowns to manage the debuff. |
Skittish | Enemies are more likely to target non-tank players. | - Tanks should coordinate target focus with DPS. - Use abilities like Misdirection or Tricks of the Trade to manage threat. - Tanks should incorporate taunt into their rotation to maintain threat. |
Quaking | All players periodically cause shockwaves that damage and interrupt nearby allies. | - Spread out to avoid overlapping shockwaves. - Casters should be wary of the interrupt and time their casts accordingly. - Be mindful of the affix even when out of combat. |
Volcanic | While in combat, enemies periodically summon volcanic plumes under distant players, which deal damage if not avoided. | - Prioritize moving out of volcanic plumes. - Be aware of your surroundings to avoid pulling additional enemies. - The frequency of volcanoes increases with more enemies, so be extra cautious during teeming weeks. |
Explosive | While in combat, enemies periodically summon Explosive Orbs that will detonate if not destroyed. | - Prioritize targeting and destroying Explosive Orbs. - Orbs are immune to AoE effects, so players must swap targets to destroy them. - The frequency of orb spawns increases with more enemies in combat. |
Reaping | All enemies leave behind a ghost that will periodically resurrect in waves. Every 20% of the dungeon's trash forces a wave of these ghosts to attack the group. | - Be prepared with crowd control and burst damage for ghost waves. - Monitor dungeon progress to anticipate reaping waves. - Utilize abilities like Treants or Earth Elemental to assist with tanking ghosts. - If possible, complete the dungeon before reaching 100% trash to avoid the final reaping wave. |
- Cooldown and Resource Synchronization: Ensuring that the team’s cooldowns, abilities, and resources are synchronized and utilized with maximal efficiency is pivotal. This not only ensures optimal damage, healing, and control but also enables the team to navigate through the most challenging segments of the dungeon effectively.
Cooldown/Resource | Strategy | Benefit |
