Ragnaros Raid Guide

Updated: February 2025

Note: Check the second tab on the builds for the Eclipse version which is much more powerful if you have it available at a decent level! Make sure you play the combo in the right order each time: Jaina > Eclipse > Execute.

STRATEGY

• Wave goodbye to Majordomo as you melt him with a couple of spells. He's really soft so will fall to 2-3 spells.
• Banshee is incredible on this encounter to deal with the Core Hounds and especially the Molten Giant.
• Chip away at Ragnaros during Phase 1 with Execute and Blizzard (or Deep Breath) (after playing Jaina for the +3 spell levels) while defending your base. Don't let the Flamewakers get too close or their ranged attack will reach your base.
• When you push Ragnaros into Phase 2, play defensively and use Execute to take down the four mini-boss units that spawn.
• Once you have the four mini-boss units down, continue to rain spells down on Ragnaros until he is just about to enter Phase 3 then STOP! Kick back, relax and just defend your base until the timer reaches 0 and you enter Overtime.
• As soon as you enter Overtime, push Ragnaros into Phase 3 and start nuking the boss down to 0. You can use some spells to defend and you'll probably need 1x Execute Combo on the mini-boss that spawns in front of your base.
• Remember to use your Defias Bandits (Pick Lock Talent) to capture the chest in front of your base throughout the fight.
• Remember to use your Dark Iron Miner to capture the gold nodes at the top of the map.
• Watch out if you accidentally push both sides of the map at once. Whenever Ragnaros re-captures one of his Towers, he will send a wave of fire down the opposite side of the map, destroying everything it touches.
