Adventure Guide

      • Ability heroicleap.png Sudsy — The sudsy nature of Yan-Zhu grants players the ability to jump extra high.

Strategy

Bloat must be dealt with cautiously when watching your boundaries regard of role. The Blackout Brew must be removed by moving around or back and forth. Take out the bubbles that surround the boss because it'll decrease damage dealt. The Yeasty Brew Alemental can either be killed asap or stand in line of healing. Don't let it go on the boss, it'll be a long boring fight. You get an ability called Sudsy they'll make you jump higher. Use it when he casts Wall of Suds, otherwise it'll do massive damage and stuns you. During the Carbonation phase, grab a Fizzy Bubble to fly up, otherwise, you're silenced.
