Faction Champions Strategy for Trial of the Crusader in Wrath of the Lich King Classic
Meet the Champions
The
Faction Champions
encounter is a PvP-themed battle to death in the arena against NPCs of the opposite faction.
You will be matched against a group of 10 random enemies out of 14 possible options in 25-man, with 3 of them always being healers picked out of 4 choices. The group composition will shuffle weekly, therefore your strategy to approach this encounter will change based on the classes you're facing and which targets you choose to prioritize.
Each Champion has between 1.9M and 2.4M HP in normal difficulty and between 2.6M and 3.2M HP in heroic difficulty.
They use a limited array of spells amongst the most iconic PvP abilities of each specialization, such as
暗影步
,
利刃风暴
,
旋风
, and behave like a real PvP team, focusing down the low health clothies in your raid, CC'ing your healers or keeping each other alive.

Strategy
To defeat the
Faction Champions
, you will have to think with a PvP mindset. Target selection, crowd controls, peel and interrupts are the key to success here.
The Champions tend to prefer low-health targets as their priority and will all focus the same player. Thus, the raid must make an effort to keep them out of reach of your team, especially melee Champions that will have to be permanently slowed and rooted. They use a lot of their own crowd controls, often on your healers, which makes defensive dispels a priority of the encounter. The Champion healers' output will negate any attempt to take down your targets, so they must always be controlled or killed first if you can only shut them down for a limited time.
Any PvP dual-spec is welcomed since they usually include additional control, healing reductions or self-peel that will shine in this peculiar encounter. PvP gear, however, is useless since resilience doesn't reduce the damage done by the Champions, still considered NPCs.
Don't worry about your parses, this encounter doesn't count.
Just like in a PvP battle, crowd controls have a significantly reduced duration compared to the usual PvE setup and are subject to diminishing returns that are important to keep track of. Diminishing returns will force classes with different types of controls to coordinate and combine their efforts to keep an enemy permanently locked down.
It's hard, if not impossible, to recommend a one-fits-all strategy for this encounter due to the random nature of the ever-changing line-up you will fight every week. Instead, here are some general guidelines to help you build your own strategy based on your unique raid composition.
0. The Opener (Heroic)
In heroic difficulty, the
Faction Champions
all have a
PVP饰品
they will use to remove crowd controls every 2 minutes.
An efficient way of forcing all the Champions to use their
PVP饰品
at the start of the encounter, and subsequently keep track of all of them at once, is to engage the fight by sending in your
战士
first to CC the entire enemy group with
破胆怒吼
right off the bat, quickly followed by a Frost
死亡骑士
's
饥饿之寒
to lock them all up in place. Ideally protected with defensive cooldowns such as
盾墙
,
冰封之韧
,
痛苦压制
, etc. so they don't die instantly from the focused fire of the enemy team...
Alternatively, some groups like to isolate one champion with multiple
死亡之握
s to quickly burst it down out of range of the enemy healers.
1. Control the Healers
The first priority is to shut down the enemy healers, which healing output will entirely negate your efforts if not kept under permanent control. If your raid composition can reliably maintain the enemy healers under control, then they should be the last priority in the kill order. However, if you struggle to maintain a good chain of CC on 3 healers at a time, you might prefer to focus them down at the start.
The Discipline
牧师
and Restoration
萨满祭司
champions will require hard CC due to their many instant casts that can't be interrupted. The most effective and recommended strategy is to assign a
法师
and a
术士
(or
德鲁伊
) to operate as a duo to keep these two locked down by alternating their respective crowd control.
死亡骑士
s are amazing at hindering enemy melee Champions with their constant spam of
寒冰锁链
and
死亡之握
if they ever reach their target. We all know how it feels to be on the receiving end of these spells...
战士
s are the best counter to the enemy
战士
Champion because they can maintain them permanently slowed with
断筋
, match their
拦截
, and
缴械
the enemy's
利刃风暴
.
冰霜陷阱
,
纠缠根须
,
冰霜新星
,
雷霆风暴
... If you're a caster, you already know how to ruin the day of any melee Champion that would target you.
3. Target Priority
The
Faction Champions
aren't much different from us, players. They also fight about Tier lists and argue that their respective specialization should be in the S tier, but not all classes are created equal, even when they're controlled by AI. Some Champions have a terrifying damage output that most groups will try to shut down immediately, while others will find themselves targeted last but cope by repeating that they
will scale later
.
Now that all the enemy
healers are permanently controlled
and enemy
melees are peeled away
from your squishy clothies, let's talk about doing some damage.
High priority targets
The
潜行者
is one of the deadliest champions due to its high burst damage and mobility, and a popular first target for most groups. It's essential to keep the
潜行者
slowed with
断筋
or
寒冰锁链
and
死亡之握
it back into the melee train when it tries to
暗影步
away to murder a clothie.
The
猎人
deals consistently high damage thanks to its range but it's one of the easiest to burst down due to its very limited mobility so it's an easy target to quickly take out of the fight. Plus the
冰霜陷阱
can greatly handicap your team if you have many melees.
The Enhancement
萨满祭司
has the highest burst potential of all the champions and will inevitably claim victims if left alone, but it also has no mobility skills whatsoever so it's easily kited around with slows and roots until it's time to take it down. Make sure to destroy any
战栗图腾
or
治疗之泉图腾
it summons immediately.
If you can't keep them controlled well enough, the Restoration
德鲁伊
and the Restoration
萨满祭司
should definitely be high-priority targets, if not the highest.
Medium priority targets
The
战士
does high melee damage and also applies
致死打击
, but most of its threat can be mitigated by permanent slow uptime. Watch out for the
利刃风暴
that can decimate players too close to each other and be reactive on the
缴械
/
拆卸
to stop the channel.
The
术士
will cast the occasional
恐惧
and DoTs that can all be dispelled, but its main threat is
地狱烈焰
which can quickly wipe a group of unsuspecting stacked players.
The
死亡骑士
is easily kited and most of its damage will come from
凋零缠绕
if it can't connect with its target. It's mainly an annoying enemy that will cast a lot of
冰寒之链
,
死亡之握
and
绞袭
.
The Retribution
圣骑士
is also easily kited although it can deal some serious damage with
命令审判
if it reaches its target. Watch out for
神圣风暴
if the
圣骑士
passes near you. Be quick to dispel the various
自由之手
or
保护之手
.
Low priority targets
Any remaining
healer
that was kept under control for all this time can be killed at this point to relieve the
法师
/
术士
/
德鲁伊
.
Most of the Shadow
牧师
's damage can be mitigated by dispels and both
精神鞭笞
and
心灵震爆
deal weak damage.
The
法师
's damage output is very low and it can be mostly ignored as long as you dispel any
变形术
.
The Balance
德鲁伊
does pityful damage and is no threat at all.
Recommended Raid Composition
Tanks: 0 Tank
— The Faction Champions reset aggro every few seconds and target random raid members which puts tanks out of a job.
Healers: 3-5
— Just like a real PvP situation, defensive dispels go a long way in mitigating the raid pressure.
DPS: 20-22
Faction Champions Tips for Trial of the Crusader in Wrath of the Lich King Classic
Tips for Tanks on Faction Champions
Although the Champions can be
嘲讽
ed for a brief moment
(only in normal difficulty)
, their threat table resets every few seconds making tanks mostly useless for this encounter.
Protection
战士
s are the exception because they can singlehandedly shut down an enemy healer or caster with their many interrupts and stuns.
Tips for Melee on Faction Champions
The Faction Champions encounter doesn't count for parses so there is no excuse for not prioritizing your assigned crowd controls and interrupts.
Stay alert around the enemy
战士
and Retribution
圣骑士
because they will use their AoE spells when surrounded.
Totems are always a priority if there are any
萨满祭司
Champion in the line-up. Pets however deal abysmal damage and will often bait healers into healing them instead of an actual Champion so they should be left alive.
Tips for Ranged on Faction Champions
The Faction Champions encounter doesn't count for parses so there is no excuse for not prioritizing your assigned crowd controls and interrupts.
Stay spread out the entire fight and be ready to kite melee Champions if you are targeted.
Coordinate with the raid to plan CC assignments, with backup players to control your assigned target in case you are busy kiting for your life.
Tips for Healers on Faction Champions
Stay spread out the entire fight and be ready to kite melee Champions if you are targeted.
Defensive and offensive dispels are as important, if not more, than raw healing in this encounter.
群体驱散
will be used often to remove
圣盾术
or
寒冰屏障
so be prepared.
Raid Composition
