Mythic+

What Is Mythic+

Mythic+ is a dungeon mode with scaling difficulty. A level N Mythic Keystone starts a dungeon where monster health and damage are boosted to match the keystone level, affixes are active and a timer is running. Before the final boss there is a “kill gate”: the boss only becomes available once the group has killed the required number of enemies.

A successful run earns you a higher-level keystone, Mythic loot from the chest and rating on the seasonal leaderboard. The mode launched on Valor on July 11, 2026.

Time by Dungeon

Affixes

Affixes are monster buffs. How many are active depends on the keystone level, and the lineup changes every day. Today's affixes are shown by the Stormcaller, in the “Dungeon Finder → Mythic” window and in chat when you log in.

Igniting

Killing an enemy applies Shadowflame — 12% of maximum health over 3 seconds.

Quaking

Shockwaves erupt beneath players' feet, damaging nearby allies and interrupting spellcasting.

Necrotic

Melee attacks apply a stacking rot that deals damage over time and reduces healing received.

Spiteful

Shades rise from the corpses of non-boss enemies and pursue random players.

Grievous

Injured players take increasing damage over time until they are healed.

Overflowing

Overhealing is converted into a healing absorb.

Fortified

Non-boss enemies: +20% health and +30% damage.

Bolstering

When enemies die, they empower nearby allies: +15% health, +20% damage.

Sanguine

Slain enemies leave pools of blood that heal their allies and damage players.

Tyrannical

Bosses: +30% health; bosses and their minions deal up to +15% damage.

Raging

Bosses enrage at 30% health: +75% damage for the rest of the fight.

Skittish

Enemies pay far less attention to threat generated by tanks.

Entangling

Vines periodically appear that entangle and slow players.

Bursting

When enemies die, they apply “Burst”: after 4 seconds it deals 3500 Shadow damage per stack.

Rewards

End-of-run chest — 2 Mythic items. These are special versions of dungeon items with their own models, and their item level rises with the keystone. At keystones 22–25 they are on par with loot from the top raids.

• Monsters drop Emblems of Frost (keystones 1–14) and Mythic Orbs (keystones 15–25). What the orbs can be spent on is to be confirmed.
• A bag with a higher-level keystone — for a timer medal.
• Rating — for every successful run.

Rating and Leaderboard

Every successful run awards rating: the higher the keystone, the faster the time and the fewer the deaths, the more you get. Failing or abandoning a run costs you rating.

• Your rating and run history are in the “Dungeon Finder → Mythic” window.
• You can check other players' rating by inspecting them.
• Seasonal rewards for rating thresholds: 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000. What exactly they give is to be confirmed.
• There is a rating rewards vendor — his stock will keep growing.
