In a grand finale to Amirdrassil, the exhausting progression against Fyrakk the Blazing took Echo 344 pulls, second only to Tindral Sageswift’s staggering 399, both a massive step up in difficulty from the first seven bosses of what almost looked like an easy tier. While the final boss was buffed well before its first pull, progression also saw two nerfs to the encounter, significantly nerfing Colossus health in Phase 2 and reducing Fyrakk’s total health by 4% as it began to look like the boss might just be unkillable.
Fyrakk also proved to be an epic back and forth over five days of progression, and one of the closest races we’ve seen in recent history. Picking up an early lead at 9.58% boss health remaining, Echo raided until exhaustion finally overtook them in the early morning hours of the 12th day of the race, waking to find Team Liquid once again in the lead with a 6.51% wipe, yet the Incarnate remained undefeated, and Echo regained the lead for a few hours after a 1.79% wipe before Liquid again pulled ahead with a scant 1.72% remaining. As their pull counts grew into the three hundreds, it looked like anyone’s game as both guilds were just one good pull away from victory, before Echo finally found the last bit of skillful execution needed to bring Fyrakk down once and for all.
