Heroes!
Major updates are coming to Area-52!
Mythic levels 11-20 release with new and redesigned Champions this Sunday at 18:00 server time. Additionally, the official end to Arena Season 2 is near, Arena Season 2.5 will begin soon-after.
Let’s jump into the details:
Mythic Champions and Mythic+ Scaling
Mythic Dungeons and Mythic+ levels 1-10 are receiving scaling changes to lower the barrier to entry. This also serves as an opportunity to familiarize yourself with affixes before pushing into the higher key levels. Additionally, Mythic 11-20 brings a new danger inside of Mythic+ Dungeons: Mythic Champions.
Mythic Champions can be found in Mythic+ 13 and above, but not as you know them. Mythic Champions receive a full-facelift. Previously, a Mythic Champion was only recognizable via the wings on its back. Now, each dungeon inside of The Burning Crusade has a distinguishable Mythic Champion that is designed in-style of the dungeon.
Every dungeon will feature 3 Champions, but will require only 2 for completion. These Champions serve as Mini Bosses, and you'll need to take down two. It's worth noting that Mythic Champions only appear in Mythic 13 and above gain more abilities in higher Mythic+ levels.
Last but certainly not least, with the rework to Mythic Champions: the new Mythic Champions are no longer Aggressive nor linked to any patrol mobs. You get to decide the time and place and which of the two champions you want to take down in an instance and in return, they will be the ones to pummel you into the ground. Good Luck out there. You’ll need it!
