While the portals are open, L'ura channels [Naaru's Lament], inflicting Shadow damage to all party members. Additionally, L'ura is immune to damage due to [Darkened Shroud]. Killing the Greater Rift Warden gives Alleria Windrunner the opportunity to close the portal, and use the void energy she receives to cast [Dark Torrent].
  After opening two waves of portals, L'ura continues to to channel [Naaru's Lament], but also engages the party directly, gaining new abilities.

  • Damage Dealers –
    Make sure to spread to catch all bolts fired by each Greater Rift Warden's [Fragment of Despair].
    Prioritize eliminating the Greater Rift Wardens when they are present in order for Alleria to close the rifts.
    L'ura is vulnerable and takes additional damage while affected by [Backlash]. Use this time as an opportunity to deal the most damage to L'ura.
  • Healers –
    L'ura's [Naaru's Lament] causes party-wide damage, while [Void Blast] deals strong single-target damage to random party members.
    The longer L'ura can channel [Naaru's Lament], the more damage each of her other attacks can do.
  • Tanks –
    Greater Rift Warden's [Sorrow Shock] can cause a spike in damage taken, so be prepared for it.
