Skolas, Kell of Kells - Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Defeat a Ghost Servitor to make Skolas vulnerable. Prioritize add control: kill Melee Captains, then Ranged Captains, Snipers, and other enemies. Damage Skolas until he reaches 65% health.
  2. Phase 2: The Tainted Essence debuff is introduced. One player receives it and dies after 30 seconds unless another player takes it. The player who takes the debuff gains a 30-second Immune buff. Establish a rotation order to pass the debuff. Rotate clockwise from the right platform to the left. Focus on add control and damaging Skolas. Transition to Phase 3 at 50% health.
  3. Phase 3: Dismantle mines become the primary objective, requiring players to venture to the middle. The Tainted Essence continues. Coordinate as a team to dismantle mines on left and right ledges quickly. A Defender or Bladedancer is recommended for the middle mine. Consider letting a Sunsinger with Tainted Essence grab difficult mines to utilize their revive. This objective repeats at 25% health. Continue passing the Tainted Essence and dealing heavy damage to Skolas.
Tips
  • Add control is the most crucial element throughout the entire fight to avoid being overwhelmed.
  • Establish a clear order for passing the Tainted Essence to ensure continuous coverage and avoid simultaneous immunity.
  • Coordinate movement as a team, especially during mine dismantling phases, to maximize efficiency and safety.
  • Utilize class abilities (Defender's bubble, Bladedancer's invisibility, Sunsinger's revive) strategically to overcome challenges.
  • Pay attention to the weekly rotating modifiers in Round 6, as they can significantly impact your strategy.
