I also have my own website dedicated to both tanks and raid leaders whereI share my insight on the bosses with strategy and preparation advice whichI will update after my guild has completed progress. If you are interested in thisor want to discuss it on Discord, the links to them are below:

Strategy Guide: Quick TLDR Guide
2.1.
Phase 1
- Dodge Shattered Rock when a wall is broken.
- When any wall is broken, Shatter is applied to the raid.
- If you are targeted by Rushing Darkness, run towards a wall tobreak it.
- If you are not targeted by Rushing Darkness, do not stand betweenthe boss and those players.
- Move away from other players when you have Volcanic Heart.
- Tanks: Swap tanking after Calamitous Strike. The tanktargeted by Calamitous Strike should get knocked into a wall tobreak it.
- Move to a new area when Echoing Fissure is cast.
2.2.
Phase 2: 70%
- 3 adds will appear in the room, and the phase will end once all 3 adds have died.
- Heroic/Mythic: The adds have a shield that can only bebroken by players with Corruption. After the shield is broken, the entire raid can hit the add.
- Once you have killed an add, move to the next one.
- Tanks: Sunder Shadow will push you away from the bossand through walls. It will then hit a second time and break any walls betweenwhere you were and where you came from.
- Kill all 3 adds before you wipe from Umbral Annihilation.
2.3.
Phase 3: When all 3 adds have died
- Use Bloodlust here.
- Sunder Reality will destroy walls and create portals.
- Adds spawn from these portals. AoE them down.
- Stand in a portal to survive Ebon Destruction.

Strategy Guide: Full Guide
3.1.
Phase 1
The goal of this phase is to get Neltharion to 60% HP and not break morewalls than you need to.
- At the start of the phase, Neltharion will spawn walls with Twisted Earth.Ensure you are in the area with the boss.
- Breaking any wall segment will trigger Shattered Rock debris tofall in the room. Avoid these.
- When any wall segment is broken, Shatter will trigger, dealing damage to the player who broke the wall and a small amount to the entire raid.Try not to break more walls than you need to.
- Breaking a point of the wall where multiple connections will count as multiplewalls being broken. Avoid this if you can.
- Players targeted by Rushing Darkness will be knocked away.This knockback can destroy walls. Additionally, any players between the bossand this player will take damage and get silenced.
- Players with Volcanic Heart will have a circle placed aroundthem and explode. These players should be avoided to prevent additional unnecessarydamage. A simple rule to follow is that the location of the boss shouldalways be a safe spot.
- Tanks: Calamitous Strike will knock you away. Try toget knocked into a wall to break it. This is the tank swap.
- Shortly after Calamitous Strike Neltharion will cast Echoing Fissure.This will be your indicator to move to a new area.
Mythic changes:
- Breaking walls will make you take more damage from breaking walls for 3 seconds.Avoid breaking multiple at once.
3.2.
Phase 2: 70%
The goal of this phase is to kill all 3 spawned adds before you wipe fromincreasing amounts of raid damage.
- All walls will be destroyed, and new ones will appear. Move as a raid to the sideof the room with the boss.
- 3 adds will appear in the room, and the phase will end once all 3 adds have died.
- Move the boss near these adds to cleave them down. You want to maximize theamount of damage you are dealing to Neltharion to make Phase 3 shorter.
- When Neltharion reaches 35% HP, he will gain a 99% damage reduction shield. Thisshield persists until all 3 adds are dead.
- Tanks: Sunder Shadow will push you away from the bossand through walls. It will then hit a second time and break any walls betweenwhere you were and where you came from.
- Healers: Umbral Annihilation deals twice as muchdamage every cast. Commit cooldowns to later casts to help the raid survive.
Heroic changes:
- All 3 adds will have shields on them and cannot be damaged until the shieldhas been broken.
- Players with Corruption can damage the shield.
- Players with Corruption are hostile. Try not to kill them..
Mythic changes:
- Breaking walls will make you take more damage from breaking walls for 3 seconds.Avoid breaking multiple at once.
3.3.
Phase 3
The final phase of the encounter. Defeat Neltharion before you run out ofportals to stay safe from Ebon Destruction.
- This phase is where you will want to commit Bloodlust.
- Once again, all walls are destroyed and rebuilt.
- Neltharion will cast Sunder Reality and destroy a large amountof the walls. The walls will not respawn and convert into portals.
- These portals have two functions. First, they will spawn Twisted Aberrationadds. These adds melee to whoever their threat target is and are otherwise not toothreatening. Let the tank grab these and cleave them down.
- The second function of the portal is to provide a 99% damage reduction to Ebon Destruction.
- When Ebon Destruction is cast, move into a portal and survivethe cast. Any portal that was used will be consumed. It is important to make useof multiple portals to lower the amount of adds that spawn.
Heroic changes:
- The adds that spawn from the portals gain stacks of Unstable Mutation.This increases the damage they deal the longer they are alive.
Mythic changes:
- Portals are now personal. Every player needs to get their own portal tosurvive Ebon Destruction.
