World of Warcraft reveals secret phase of new raid boss to give us the best moment in Race to World First

A new raid in the World of Warcraft saga, part of the Midnight Falls expansion, features a boss named L'ura, whose abilities have been adjusted by Blizzard to make the encounter more manageable. Notably, her Phase 1 attacks have been toned down, with her Heaven's Glaives ability now having shuriken-like projectiles that travel 20% slower and have improved visibility. A hidden fourth phase in the encounter surprised Team Liquid, who initially celebrated their progress after the third phase, only to realize the fight was ongoing. Team Liquid has faced L'ura 450 times, reducing her health in the fourth phase to 44%, while their closest competitor, Echo, has not surpassed 65% health in the same phase. Team Liquid currently leads the Race to World First after defeating another boss, Chimaerus the Undreamt God, in three attempts.
