Winter Mane

Winter Mane is the first boss of the heroic dungeon Cold Storage located in Zaiwei in the Silverfrost Mountains.

Boss Attacks/Mechanics
Winter Mane uses the following attacks:


 * punch with left hand


 * 180 degree frontal sweep attack with right hand (knockback)


 * 360 degree circle AOE; 3 hits; last hit knockback


 * throw ice at a player, if hit player gets frozen for 18s


 * pulls a player with iron chain


 * charge and roaring attack


 * jumps into the air and strikes on the ground


 * tread on the ground with left foot (AOE daze)


 * can counter frontal attack


 * put right hand on the ground to summon an automaton


 * 6000 damage and full-screen flash after automaton explode (can be iframed)


 * if HP < 1,000,000: generate ice pools on floor which explode after few seconds

Note: If the bosses froze a player and an automaton hits this frozen player, this player will receive a penetration buff which basically increases your DPS.

Note: It may help if a Blade Dancer or Destroyer carry the boss into a corner of the room, so that less automatons pass by and explode.

Getting hit by an automaton explode flashbang, the player is unable to move for 1-2 seconds and thus can't dodge other attacks like the main AOE which should be CC'ed or iframed. So it is a good idea to iframe the exploding automatons, as well.
