Phases & Abilities:

  • Phase 1: Animal Transformation: Circe will frequently transform players into harmless animals (e.g., pigs, sheep). Transformed players cannot use abilities and must avoid damage. Other players must protect them until the transformation wears off.
  • Phase 2: Minion Summons: At various health thresholds, Circe will summon waves of mythical creatures (e.g., Minotaurs, Harpies). DPS should prioritize these adds to prevent them from overwhelming the group.
  • Phase 3: Gorgon's Gaze: Circe will occasionally channel 'Gorgon's Gaze', a frontal cone attack that can petrify players. Players must turn their backs to Circe when she casts this ability to avoid being stunned.
  • Phase 4: Power Siphon: Below 30% health, Circe will attempt to 'Power Siphon' a player, draining their power and dealing damage. This ability can often be interrupted by Controllers.

Strategy: Designate a Tank to hold Circe. DPS should quickly eliminate summoned adds. All players must be aware of 'Gorgon's Gaze' and turn away. Healers need to manage health during animal transformations. Controllers should interrupt 'Power Siphon'.

Rewards: Marks of Victory, Source Marks, and a chance for Themyscira-themed gear drops and rare styles.
