Review

The fourth battle of the IR is two Valkyries with a common HP pool: Fjola Lightbane and Eydis Darkbane. They stand at their portals in the center of the Colosseum arena. The entire battle is built around essence signs (light/dark): the desired sign gives +damage to the boss of the opposite color and absorbs damage of its own color. This is a test of the reactions of healers and switches of the entire raid. Before the battle - Anubarak.

General tips
  • The main rule: you beat the boss of the opposite color to your sign; under the funnel - take the cast COLOR sign to receive 0 damage.
  • Twin's Pact is a 20% HP heal: all damage dealers switch to the shielded Valkyrie, knock down the shield, then interrupt the cast.
  • Orbs (Energy Accumulation) catch up to 100 stacks with your color for +100% damage and DO NOT let bosses collect them - otherwise there will be a sharp jump in their damage and a wipe.

Abilities

Dark Essence
Other
Sign from the Dark Portal: absorbs dark damage, reduces damage to dark targets (Eidis) and increases damage to light targets (Fjola). With this sign they beat Fyola.
Action: Click on the dark portal to receive the sign. Damage according to Fjola - I'm familiar with this.
Light Essence
Other
Sign from the light portal: absorbs light damage, reduces damage to light targets (Fjola) and increases damage to dark targets (Eidis). Eydis is beaten with this sign.
Action: Click on the light portal. Damage according to Eydis - I’m familiar with this.
Energy storage
Raid damage
Clots of Light/Darkness fly around the arena. An orb of its color gives a stack of Energy Accumulation; at 100 stacks, “Mighty Light” is triggered (on dark targets, +100% damage, 15 sec) or “Mighty Darkness” (on light targets, +100% damage, 20 sec), plus + 20% mana. An orb of the wrong color strikes through Unleashed Light/Darkness (~7,800–8,200, 25 rev ~8,775–9,225).
Action: Soakers collect orbs of their color and intercept orbs flying into the raid and bosses. Spread by sides/quadrants.
Shield of Light
Raid damage
Valkyrie puts on a shield that absorbs 175,000 (25v: 700,000) damage and blocks interruptions for 15 sec. Cast right before the Twins' Pact. (An early RU guide by noob-club indicated ~300k at 25rpm - an outdated PTR value.)
Action: All DDs switch to the shielded Valkyrie (take the required sign from her portal) and knock down the shield as quickly as possible.
Twins' Treaty
Raid damage
A 15-second cast of healing for 20% of the twins' total HP. Comes immediately after the shield; interrupted only when the shield is knocked down.
Action: Knock down the shield → immediately interrupt the cast (Wind Shear, Silencing Shot, Pummel, etc.). Assign an interrupt queue.
The Power of Twins
Tank
While one Valkyrie casts Pact, the second receives +20% physical. damage and accuracy and fights with two weapons (acceleration for stacks of Val'kyr Quickness, spell=65949) for 15 sec - grows until the Treaty is interrupted.
Action: Tanks - cooldowns for survival for the duration of the Treaty; quickly knock down the shield to break the buff.
Light Funnel
Raid damage
8-sec cast, then channel: light damage ~5,850–6,150 (25r: ~8,775–9,225) per second 5 sec. Only hits targets with a DARK sign.
Action: Everyone takes a LIGHT sign (matching the color of the funnel) → 0 damage. After the pulse, return your sign.
Dark Funnel
Raid damage
8-sec cast, then dark damage channel ~5,850–6,150 (25rpm: ~9,263–9,737) per second for 5 sec. Only hits targets with a LIGHT sign.
Action: Everyone takes the DARK sign (matching the color of the funnel). After the pulse - back to your sign.
Light Wave
Raid damage
Fjola pulses 1,500 (25v: 2,500) light damage every 2 sec to targets with a dark sign. Constant background raid damage.
Action:Hilam keep the raid at the top; the damage is stable.
Dark Wave
Raid damage
Eidis pulses 1,500 (25v: 2,500) dark damage every 2 sec to targets with a light sign.
Action: Background AoE - heal the raid.
Thorn of the Twins
Tank
Hit the main target for 100% weapon damage, adds +20% damage received for 15 sec / up to 10 charges.
Action: Tanks should take into account the surge in incoming damage; Hilam - point healing on a tank.
Touch of Light / Touch of Darkness
Debuff HC
Hardmode. Valkyrie places a debuff on a random player of the opposite sign, dealing ~5,850–6,150 damage every 2 sec to him and those standing next to the same “wrong” sign - essentially a single-target funnel.
Action: The person receiving the debuff immediately clicks on a portal of the desired color (matching the color of the touch) to remove it. Stand close to the portals.
Unleashed Light
Raid damage
Triggers when a player touches an orb of the OPPOSITE color: ~7,800–8,200 (25r: ~8,775–9,225) damage to targets within 6 yards.
Action: Do not catch other people's orbs; do not bring them into the raid stack.

Positioning

Bosses are stacked close to each other at their portals in the center of the arena so that the raid can kill and can instantly switch signs. The raid stacks on bosses, except for the team of soakers. Many RU teams divide the raid into two mirror halves (each portal has its own tank + healer).

🛡 Tank
Two tanks, one per Valkyrie. Keep bosses at portals of the opposite sign, so that during a funnel/Treaty, the entire raid quickly flips the color without running around. A clear route to the desired portal without orbs.
✨ Healer
3–5 heals (RU practice - even 2 in 10 revs). The sign is not critical - take any one and switch along the funnels. Ready for spike healing from soakers and constant AoE from Bursts.
⚔DD
You hit the boss of the OPPOSITE color to your sign (dark sign → Fjola, light sign → Eidis). Under the funnel is a sign of the caste color; under the Treaty - switch and knock down the shield of the shielded Valkyrie.

Role Tips

🛡 Tips for the tank
  • Keep the Valkyries close and at portals of the opposite color - this speeds up the switching of the entire raid.
  • FollowBy the Power of the Twins on a non-casting Valkyrie during the Pact: press CD on support/survival until the shield is knocked down.
✨ Tips for healer
  • Burst of Light/Darkness — stable background, keep the raid in the top before each special cast.
  • React to soakers: catching orbs and rare alien orbs cause sharp drops in HP.
⚔ DD Tips
  • Target = boss of the opposite color to your sign; on the shield/Contract, switch all together and quickly break the shield (healing takes 15 seconds to cast, in fact less).
  • Under the funnel - always a sign of the COLOR of the funnel (0 damage), then back. Collect orbs of your color for Mighty Light/Darkness (+100% damage).
