Hellfire Assault - Normal and Heroic Guide

Welcome to the guide to the combat against Hellfire Alsail, first encounter because it cannot be called Chief, of the new Hellfire Citadel raid. In order to enter the Citadel, we must first break down its doors, this is what this combat consists of.

Meeting lore

With the help of the Blackfuse Company, the Iron Horde have built devastating siege engines in the shadow of Hellfire Citadel, upgraded their tanks, and can now utilize fel energy, Siegemaster Mar'tak awaits Gul'dan's orders to begin the assault.

Hellfire Assault

Players attempt to direct the massive cannons in the Hellfire Citadel courtyard against the mighty armored door of the Citadel., while fending off Siegemaster Mar'tak and her Hellfire Reinforcements.

Throughout the meeting, waves of enemies attack players, periodically accompanied by huge Siege Vehicles to destroy the cannons. Destroying these Siege Vehicles allows players to seize Fel Fire Munitions, allowing them to continuously fire rounds of fire at the Armored Door.

Once the players break down the blast door, Siegemaster Mar'tak's forces take refuge in the Citadel.

Skills

Strategy

As the encounter begins, we will throw the Heroism to lower Mar'tak's life to 50% as soon as possible and thus, get rid of her and her abilities. While this happens one of the tanks will be in charge of keeping her separated from her minions to prevent them from being affected by Inspirational presence, an ability that will boost their damage dealt by 10%.

The band will be located at a distance and, those marked by Howling ax They will separate from the group, to prevent the ax from hitting too many players while going back and forth to their objective.

Mar'tak's third ability is Shock waveWe simply have to leave the marked area, but quickly, which does a lot of damage.

Once we lower Mar'tak's health to 50%, it will take refuge in the Citadel while, we will continue to face its reinforcements and siege engines.

We must be clear about the priority order of focus, since it will be what makes us overcome this meeting or not. This priority depends on the minions present since they will not all come out at the same time, in case of having several important objectives at the same time, we will divide the damage by assigning a priority to the casters and another to the melés.

Order of priorities

Siege Engine, it will be our absolute priority since we need its reserves of fel fire to fuel the cannons and also, if it lasts too long with life it will damage them. If we lose possession of the cannons we will not make it through the match. Remember that when the machine dies a player must collect the Fel Fire reserves and take them to the cannons so that they do not stop opening fire on the door of the Citadel.

Rabioso, this minion must be eliminated quickly so that the tanks do not suffer excessively, they must change it when they are affected by Onslaught. So it takes priority as long as there is no Siege Engine and the Trauma present have not changed to Terrrors. In case the mentioned targets match, the melés will continue with the Berserker while the casters will shift focus to the target at a distance.

Vile Bloodbound Thaumaturge, not a problem until his Metamorphosis, which happens at 40% health. We must be very careful so that several are not transformed at the same time or it will be wipe. Once the Trumaturga becomes a Terror, it becomes an absolute priority, since it will cast Vile Fire Salvage nonstop, deleting the gang if it doesn't get killed quickly. This is a good time to use Healing CDs.

Contracted Engineer, this minion is more annoying than dangerous, as his ability Repair can be interrupted and your ability Driving shock pulse, it is dispellable. So he will never be a priority, but he will pester us with his ability. BumSo we must be vigilant and stay away from the bombs before they explode.

Iron Deagolo, this minion has no abilities and will die with residual AoE damage.

Behavior and Placement

We must be clear about how to behave before the different abilities of Mar'tak and his minions and how to position ourselves with the appearance of the Siege Engines.

As long as Mar'tak is alive:

• Howling ax: Stay away from the marked ones to decrease the damage.
• Shock wave: Avoid the area marked for each Shock Wave.
• Inspirational presence: One of the tanks must separate Mar'tak from his minions so they are not affected by this ability.

Remember that 4 types of Machines will appear, all their abilities are avoidable at least in part if we place ourselves behind the machines and at a certain distance.

• Felfire Crusher, Punch out y Burn.
• Felfire Eructallamas, Spit flames.
• Felfire Artillery, Artillery blast.
• Felfire Demolisher, Siege Nova.

Let's not forget the 4 types of minions:

• Iron Deagolo, no skills.
• Huge rabid, Onslaught: Tanks must make the switch to avoid accumulating marks from this skill.
• Vile Bloodbound Thaumaturge, Vile Fire Salvage: Placing ourselves on the back of this minion will avoid a great deal of damage.
• Contracted Engineer, Repair: Interrupt this ability. Driving shock pulse: Dispeal this ability. Bum: Stay away from the bombs before they explode.

Throughout the encounter we will have to deal with the waves of minions and siege engines until finally breaking down the reinforced door of the Hellfire Citadel. Once we get it, we will be ready for the next encounter, Reaver of the Iron Horde.
