Vaelthorn, the Ashbound
The Ashbound Throne · Wither Skeleton
Wither-skull volleys, heavy slams, and the meanest enrage on the ladder. If your damage isn't there by the final phase, the throne keeps its king.
The Fight
Four waves of adds, then the boss - fought across three HP phases (100% → 60% → 30%), its kit escalating as it drops.
