Strategy
Phase One
Sapphiron the Wychlord can only be confronted on Heroic Mode. When players attempt to enter the hallway leading to Kel'Thuzad's Chamber, it will freeze over with ice and the encounter will begin. The mysterious Malevolence will contact the party, and Sapphiron's scattered bones will rise into the air, sparkling with arcane energy. Malevolent Fiends, Malevolent Soulflayers, Malevolent Wraiths, and Ambient Malevolence adds will begin spawning and attacking any nearby targets.
As enemies fall, pieces of Sapphiron's skeleton are drawn up into the air, forming a vortex of bone around a whirling core of arcane energy. The vortex randomly casts Arcane Beams (see Phase 2 abilities) at a gradually increasing rate. After three minutes have passed, Phase Two begins.
Phase Two
Sapphiron the Wychlord will form completely as Phase Two begins. He remains stationary in the middle of the room and will unleash his various abilities. If no one is in melee contact with him for longer than 3 seconds, he will use Malevolent Lightning to rapidly destroy the party. Reducing Sapphiron the Wychlord's health to 30% will shatter his body, scattering Sapphiron's bones across the chamber and starting Phase Three.
Phase Three
When Sapphiron's health has been reduced to 30%, his bone body explodes, revealing the Wychlord's true form as a being of pure arcane energy. The Wychlord will use all of his Phase Three abilities to attack while conjuring Dragonbone Constructs to aid him. The encounter will end when the Wychlord's health is reduced to 0.
