Hello guys. We continue with the guides of the new Ny'alotha gang, City of Awakening with the encounter against The Hive Mind in its normal and heroic modes.
Ny'alotha, City of Awakening
Enter the abode of nightmares in Ny'alotha, Waking City, a band deep in the void-pregnant heart of the Black Empire. Face unhinged heralds and inscrutable terrors, in the end, come face-to-face with N'Zoth himself in the ultimate battle for the survival of Azeroth.
The sleeping city of Ny'alotha has awakened. For the first time in millennia, N'Zoth takes his throne in the Black Empire. Their armies emerge from dark chambers to once again wreak havoc on Azeroth. With the world shaken by these invasions, a desperate plan is hatched: the champions of the Horde and the Alliance meet to face this ancient enemy in their own kingdom in a final battle that will decide the fate of the universe.
The Hive Mind
The generals Ka'zir y Tek'ris they face a conflict of wills and compete relentlessly for control of the aqir. Each time one of the two wrests control from the other, the hive changes its tactics and obeys each command with fervent loyalty.
Summary
Ka'zir y Tek'ris control and manipulate an aqir hive. Influence over the aqir alternates between Ka'zir y Tek'ris periodically, which changes the aqir that are invoked during the encounter.
On this occasion, we once again have the collaboration of Yuki and Zashy and its splendid video guide

Strategy
Normal Mode
This meeting is quite simple and is based on priorities.
During combat the Hive Mind he will always control one of the two gang leaders. Each tank must take care of one of them and they will not need to exchange it at any time during the combat.
With control over Tek'ris The two must be together or their damage taken will be reduced by 99% and all summoned units will gain 1% damage and speed per second.
With control over Ka'zir Both must be separated by at least 20 meters or their damage taken will be reduced by 99% and all summoned units will gain a health regeneration when they are below 20% health.
During the meeting Tek'ris will have two main abilities:
- Nullifying Explosion, which will do frontal damage and so we must be careful not to have it focused towards the band to be able to dodge it.
- Resonant void, which will mark the entire band with a detonation at 4 meters after a few seconds. We must separate ourselves from each other to minimize the damage.
With Ka'zir we will have to interrupt your Mind-stun Nova or it will reduce our haste by 50%. One tank and one DPS should be enough to control it.
We will also have to deal with Spawn Acid Aqir, which will invoke a series of aqires that will move in a straight line and which we will have to dodge. If these airs hit us we will receive damage, damage over time for 8 seconds and damage increased by 25%. Sometimes one of the drones will power up and detonate after 20 seconds. It is a priority to avoid them.
During combat we will also have a series of extra enemies that we will have to deal with:
- Drones aqir, which will be numerous and small and will set random players. We must kill them with area damage.
- Aqir darts, that they will be bigger and that they will use against the band a detonation called Psionic resonance. We can stun them and use crowd control against them.
With control of Tek'ris they will gain damage and with the control of Ka'zir they will regenerate at 20% health. They will always be a priority over the gang leaders.
Both bosses must die at the same time or they will heal for 30% maximum health after a few seconds.
Heroic mode
The first change that we will have in this modality and that we will suffer throughout the fight will be Devouring frenzy, which will make when the Hive Mind switch control between Tek'ris y Za'kir the raid takes a moderate amount of damage over 11 seconds and both will gain 15% stackable damage.
When the hive mind controls Tek'ris This will transform one of the drones into Aqir ravager, increasing its damage its life by 450%, and it must be tanked. It must be quickly taken by one of the tanks and it will be our priority. If necessary, the tank should use damage reductions since it hits a lot.
Drones will now leave a pool of poison under their feet after they die, dealing damage per second. We will have to be together to leave the puddles in one area and once we kill them we will move to a safe area.
It is convenient to use Heroism, Blood lust o Temporal distortion as soon as the combat begins.
