WoW Kokia Blazehoof Dragonflight Boss

Kokia Blazehoof – As Primalist forces assault the Ruby Life Pools from all sides, it falls to Kokia and her Blazebound lieutenants to capture precious eggs from overwhelmed defenders, all while spreading flame and havoc as they go.

Location: Ruby Life Pools.

Important Kokia Blazehoof Trash Tips and Tricks

This ring area requires you to clear all four Blazebound Destroyers marked on your minimap to continue. These are surrounded by multiple enemies:

  • Primalist Cinderweaver cast Cinderbolt at random targets. They also occasionally cast Flame Dance, causing them to radiate fire damage to random targets.
  • Scorchlings detonate when they die

Blazebound Destroyers themselves are slightly more annoying, but have a mechanic that can be used to forcefully lock down other enemies. Every ~10 seconds, they will make somebody as a Livinb Bomb. After 5 seconds, they detonate, and any enemy or player in a ~6yd radius around them is thrown ~15 yards up in the air.

When Blazebound Destroyers die, they explode. This is a ~4s cast, and is very easy to dodge.

On the front left and back right of the platform, there are two drakes; they are the hardest trash mobs of the area, and we strongly recommend pulling the Thunderhead on your own terms (if you go the back way, he will randomly fly into you as you engage the last Blazebound Destroyer).

Once all four Blazebound Destroyers are dead, Kokia Blazehoof becomes targetable.

Kokia Blazehoof Tips and Strategy

Abilities at a Glance

Ritual of Blazebinding

Every ~30 seconds, Kokia casts Ritual of Blazebinding. This causes a Blazebound Firestorm to spawn at the position of a player. This add is immobile, and spam-casts Roaring Blaze (interruptible) on the entire group. This deals damage to all players in the group irrespective of distance.

When they die, they detonate, covering the floor in fire in a ~25yd radius around them.

Position yourselves at all times so the adds spawn in the corners and kill them swiftly before dragging the boss elsewhere!

Molten Boulder

Kokia frequently targets her main threat target with Molten Boulder. This lobs a boulder in a straight line that leaves flame patches as it rolls.

All Roles

Kokia tests your ability to position ahead of time, all this in order to minimize space taken. And, as the fight goes on, inevitably, somebody will slip up and spawn a Blazebound Firestorm in the wrong place, or get rolled over by a tank boulder.

  • When Kokia is about to reach 100 energy, position yourself away from the path, away from where your tank will take the boss next, and preferably close to other fire puddles (but not in them). At 100 energy, Kokia starts casting Ritual of Blazebinding and snapshots a player’s location for it. This spawns an immobile Blazebound Firestorm there.
  • DPS down Blazebound Firestorms while interrupting Roaring Blaze. They are a priority target as they radiate Inferno, dealing very heavy damage to the entire team.
  • Do not be near to, or behind the tank! They are frequently targeted by Molten Boulder, which rolls up to 40 yards away, leaving flame patches in its path and dealing heavy damage and stunning anybody hit

Healer

  • Prepare cooldowns for every Ritual of Blazebinding – the spell itself deals heavy party-wide damage. In addition, Inferno deals heavy damage to all players as long as they are active, and any missed kicks on Roaring Blaze will exacerbate things even more. They spawn roughly every 30 seconds.
  • Do not be near the Blazebound Firestorms if you can avoid it – they explode when they die. This explosion is avoidable, but will force you to move at a time where you will have other, more pressing priorities.
  • Pay slightly more attention to the tank when Searing Blows is applied to them.

Tank

  • You have the entire ring to play with. Position yourself, the boss and your group smartly. There is no reason to play risky games in positioning – and it tends to lead to player deaths if you do.
  • Always position yourself so the boulders spawned by Molten Boulder roll outwards into the walls of the ring. The last thing you want is for your path to be blocked because you rolled a boulder down the path.
  • Rotate cooldowns for Searing Blows
  • Help your DPS with the Firestorms. This will also allow them to cleave, but remember that Molten Boulder will still happen!
