Nx and Vx are twin assassins, deadly and synchronized. They earned their ascension together and now eliminate any threats to Queen Ansurek with ruthless efficiency.

Nx will use Shade Slashes while his brother conjures Ice Sickles. Upon reaching 100 energy, Nx and Vx exchange their power during Synergic Step. This will make them swap positions. Vx will then use Rime Dagger and Nx will step into the shadows with Shadow Shunpo.

•  Ice Sickles: Vx aims frosted daggers at several players, inflicting 15 Frost damage to all targets within the dagger's line of travel. The dagger remains embedded in the target, reducing movement speed by 50% and inflicts an additional 5 Frost damage every 1 sec for 12 sec.

The Coaglamation is a product of Izo's experiments, a monstrosity made from waste and sludge. Despite its grotesque appearance, it serves as an excellent material for further experimentation.

The Coaglamation is made out of Black Blood. When it takes damage, it will try to increase its mass by casting Viscous Darkness. This will summon Black Blood orbs, that can attach to any creature, applying Corrupted Coating.

Abilities:

•  Viscous Darkness: Slams the ground knocking players back and releasing orbs of congealed black blood from canisters throughout the arena that travel towards it. Orbs of black blood that reach The Coaglamation are absorbed, restoring 7% of its maximum health. WoW players that touch orbs of black blood absorb them but are afflicted with Corrupted Coating.
  •  Corrupted Coating: Players that come into contact with an orb of black blood are coated in a vile coating, absorbing 51063 healing.
• Slime Propagation: Hurls slime at players, reducing their movement speed by 30% for 8 sec. Upon expiration, Slime Propagation spreads to players within 6 yards. (Challenge)
• Void Surge: Excites the blood reservoirs, causing black blood to spill outward from them and form pools. Players standing in these pools suffer 7 Shadow damage every 1 sec and their movement speed is reduced by 35% while standing in the area.
•  Dark Pulse: Throbs violently, releasing dark energy that inflicts 86957 Shadow damage every 1 sec to all players.

Strategy:

• Tank: Avoid the shifting zones of Void Surge and prevent Black Blood orbs from reaching the Coaglamation.
• Damage Dealers: Deal with Dark Pulse and destroy Black Blood orbs before they heal the boss.
• Healer: Heal players affected by Corrupted Coating and mitigate the damage from Dark Pulse.

•  Splice: Injects experimental strands into all players, inflicting 24082 Shadow damage every 1.5 sec for 6 sec.
•  Tremor Slam: Uses her mastery of alchemical transformation to assume the form of a Nerubian Lord.
  She then slams the ground with all her might, inflicting 77063 Nature damage to all players and an additional 231188 Nature damage to players within 12 yards. (Normal, Heroic)
