Sylvanas Windrunner

Your character vs. Sylvanas WindrunnerCalculate DPS

Official Overview (Blizzard)

Azeroth's champions battle Sylvanas at the pinnacle of the Sanctum of Domination, across the vastness between the Maw and the Eternal City, and within the Arbiter's chamber. Players first encounter Sylvanas atop Torghast. Upon reaching 83% health, she rips apart chunks of the tower itself. As the Jailer envelops Oribos in the Maw, players pursue him with the aid of Thrall, Jaina Proudmoore, and Bolvar Fordragon, forging new paths and defeating Mawforged commanders while Sylvanas harrows from all sides in Banshee Form. Within the Crucible, the Banished One executes his grand plan. Our allies confront the dominated Anduin Wrynn while Sylvanas engages players directly.
