Unique Cantrip Items from Kith'ix Boss Encounter in Patch 12.1.5 - Loot and Boss Abilities

Kith'ix Loot

The Unbinding of Kith'ix raid only has one boss, Kith'ix. This boss drops new Cantrip Armor pieces, Trinkets, and a new Hearthstone! On each difficulty, gear drops at 3/6 on the respective track, except for Mythic, which drops at Myth 9/6:

LFR: Item Level 285 (Veteran 3/6)
Normal: Item Level 298 (Champion 3/6)
Heroic: Item Level 311 (Hero 3/6)
Mythic: Item Level 344 (Myth 9/6)

Armor

There are 4 new pieces of Cantrip Armor. These armor pieces are all on Tier Slots, allowing them to be catalyzed into Tier Pieces with the cantrip effect. These cantrip effects have a benefit if you wear a Venomcursed gear piece, which is dropped by Ula'tek.

Phase 1: Kith'ix tries to overwhelm enemies using an array of adds and Darkness Magic, while Lady Liadrin tries to push back the darkness with her Light.
Phase 2: At 25% health, it's a race against time to finish off Kith'ix before he can finish casting Eightfold Eclipse.

Kith'ix

Defeated long ago, Kith'ix was restrained deep in the Vaults of Ula'tek by Ula'tek herself. With her defeat, the C'Thraxxi has returned, intent on wiping out not just the Amani, but any who would oppose him.

Overview

Kith'ix calls upon his Voidswarm to fight alongside him as he assaults players with an array of powerful dark magic.

Upon reaching 100 energy, Kith'ix attempts to smother his enemies with Suffocating Darkness. Lady Liadrin holds the darkness at bay while gathering power to banish it with Divine Radiance.

At 25% health, Kith'ix stuns players with Stygian Howl and Liadrin rescues them with Last Light, beginning a race to slay Kith'ix before his Eightfold Eclipse snuffs out Liadrin's light.
