Hey good ones! How's life going for you? We hope well because today we bring you the official guide to GuíasWoW of Grong, boss of this new raid recently added in patch 8.1.0, the Battle of Dazar'alor. Without further ado, let's get to it!
Battle of Dazar'alor
The Battle of Dazar'alor is the second band that we will see in this expansion, Battle for Azeroth, where we will be able to continue the history of both factions and the battle that will take place in the main city of the Zandalari. Will the Alliance end the Horde once and for all or ... will it be the Horde who manages to defend the great city of gold from which its newest allies come?
The Alliance assaults the heart of the Zandalari Empire in Battle of Dazar'alor, a new raid that offers unique encounters for Horde and Alliance players, as well as the opportunity to participate in events from the opposing faction's point of view.
Since time immemorial, Dazar'alor has stood at the center of the vast and powerful Zandalari empire. Its guards have thwarted numerous attempts to kill King Rastakhan, and the structure has survived hardships both in recent times and in the past. However, as war nears the shores of Zuldazar, the Alliance embarks on a daring ploy to lay siege to the golden pyramid and break the Zandalari's link with the Horde.

Grong will be different depending on the faction we are, facing him alive as an Alliance or resurrected if we are Horde.
Horde: The mighty Grong, once willing to sacrifice everything to serve the Alliance, has been raised from the dead to face his former allies. His noble soul would loathe fighting for the Horde and his only hope is a clean death to end his suffering.
Alliance: Volunteering to become a powerful living weapon, the once-intelligent Grong was transformed into a gigantic, devastating hulk. But even though his mind has deteriorated, his strength is now greater than ever.
On this occasion, we will once again have the collaboration of Yuki y zashi. Here is the complete guide to Grong:
Without further ado, let's start with the boss's guide.

Strategy
Normal
This fight that we will develop against Grong will focus only on a constant objective. Although adds appear, we will not need to do damage in area since what we will need is to quickly eliminate the add that appears.
Grong is boosted at 70% and 40% maximum health respectively. When starting, you will have the buff Angry ape / Undead ape, which will change to Enraged ape / Necrotic ape when reaching 70% health and this, in turn, will change back to Enraged ape / Deadly ape upon reaching 40% of your maximum health.
Upon reaching 100 energy points, Grong will cast Huff / Death announced, pounding the ground every second for 4 seconds, dealing damage to the entire raid and leaving a debuff to all players called Shattered / Touched by death, a damaging damage over time and that will increase the damage we receive from the next attacks by 30%. It is a cumulative damage, so it will be unsustainable when reaching a certain number of marks. This can be avoided with a specific mechanic in the encounter, a mechanic that we must use if we do not want to end up whipping. To avoid this, we must use the Engoriler's Core / Necrotic core that will leave behind the Gorillars / Specter of death, adding an extra button on the screen of the player who has collected the orb. This ability that we will launch on Grong will inflict 5% of his maximum health and will allow us to use Huff / Death announced before it reaches 100 energy points, so we will be able to reset the accumulations of Shattered / Touched by death smoothly.

Bestial crush will be the basic mark that the tanks will obtain when being the objective of the boss, adding Crushed. The boss should be changed after each mark. After the crush, it follows Beast combo / Necrotic Combo, inflicting large amounts of damage. And finally, Rending bite, a damage in time. In this case, the tanks should attempt to taunt the boss so that on no occasion does Grong's target tank receive the same ability twice. However, they do not always follow the same order so the tanks will have to pay attention to the name of the faculties.
Grong will launch Resounding slam / Lethal Slam on one of the players who are to me, inflicting a huge amount of damage in addition to pushing them, so you should move when you see a large area on the ground.
Engoriler 3000 / Spectrum of death
This enemy will appear randomly on one of the sides of the encounter and should be focused on nothing more than its appearance since we will have to finish it quickly to collect the Engoriler's Core / Necrotic core and force the main mechanic.
Both the Engoriler 3000 such as Specter of death They do not need to be tanked since they go to his ball but we will have to interrupt his main abilities since they make Grong gain extra energy. Let's take a closer look at the faculties:
-Engoriler 3000 (HORDE)
- Megaatomic Seeker Missile it will be thrown on a random player every so often that, upon reaching it, it will leave on the impact area Megaatomic fire, a harmful area that we must avoid at all costs and, if possible, leave out of the band.
- Primatize it must be interrupted at all costs as it will grant Grong 10 energy points.
- Lightning detonation upon death, it will explode, dealing a large amount of damage, knocking back players within 10 meters, and granting Grong 50 energy points if in range.
- Engoriler's Core will leave him at his feet when the add dies, granting us the faculty Download Engoriler Core.
-Specter of death (ALLIANCE)
- Voodoo blast it will be thrown on a random player every so often that, upon reaching it, it will leave on the impact area Chill of death, a harmful area that we must avoid at all costs and, if possible, leave out of the band.
- Death empowerment it must be interrupted at all costs as it will grant Grong 10 energy points.
- Spirit dispersion upon death, it will explode, dealing a large amount of damage, knocking back players within 10 meters, and granting Grong 50 energy points if in range.
- Necrotic core will leave him at his feet when the add dies, granting us the faculty Download Necrotic Core.
Heroic
New mechanics and changes are added to some that we already knew:
- Bestial crush y Rending bite it channels faster.
- After the launch of Beast combo / Necrotic Combo, Grong immediately launches the faculty Bestial launch, dealing massive amounts of damage to the target tank and launching it at another player activating Bestial impact, dealing damage based on how far we are from the impact zone, as well as stun the thrown tank for a brief moment. The player to whom Grong has thrown the tank, will receive a debuff so he must move away from the band to not receive such amount of damage Bestial impact.
- Grong gets Fierce roar, inflicting large amounts of damage and applying Fear to any player who is not within 5 meters of another player.
