Partial group? No problem
Raids on Valor scale to the number of players: you can go in with a partial group — enemy health and damage will be reduced. Short on people? A 10-player raid can take up to 6 companion bots, a 25-player raid up to 17.
The Vault runs on the battle's clock
10 minutes before the Battle for Wintergrasp the Watchers turn to stone, and a minute before the battle everyone is thrown out of the Vault. The battle starts every three hours and lasts half an hour — plan your run in between.
How to Get There
Wintergrasp
The Vault is inside the fortress in the center of Wintergrasp. The entrance is the large doors in the fortress wall.
Choose the size
10 or 25 players — each size has its own loot.
Watchers
1. Archavon the Stone Watcher
T7- Rock Shards hit random players. Crushing Leap — he leaps at a player and hits everyone nearby.
- Stomp stuns, then Impale tosses the tank into the air — the second tank picks up the boss immediately.
2. Emalon the Storm Watcher
T8- Lightning Nova — run away from the boss; the damage up close is lethal.
- One of the four minions becomes Overcharged and explodes after ~20 seconds — kill it fast. Chain Lightning — spread out.
3. Koralon the Flame Watcher
T9- Meteor Fists — the damage is split among everyone near the target: melee stand together with the tank.
- Flaming Cinder leaves fire on the floor — move out. Burning Breath — hits the tank.
4. Toravon the Ice Watcher
T10- Whiteout — damage to everyone that grows with each cast. Frozen Orbs — kill them right away.
- Frostbite stacks a debuff on the tank — swap tanks.

Tips
Keep an eye on the battle
Check the Battle for Wintergrasp timer before going in so you don't turn to stone mid-fight.
Emalon — don't stack up
Lightning Nova and Chain Lightning punish crowding around the boss.
