Urban Battleground Fractal
Relive The Searing as you play as the Flame Legion taking over a Ascalonian town
This is a very difficult place to be in the beginning, there is tons of AoE's and enemies constantly on you while you try to defeat the one and only Dulfy. Don't forget to take care of those pesky chickens.
Town Gate/Dulfy
You will spawn in a tent, and when you leave there will be a large scale fight going on with a ton of Veteran Ascalonian troops, as well as multiple Flame Legion allies
You will need to destroy the Gate that is protected by Siegemaster Dulfy, three Pots of Burning Oil, two Ballistae, and two Arrow Carts. I strongly suggest you focus down the burning oil, ballistae, and arrow carts prior to focusing on Dulfy due to the high amount of AoE damage, stuns and burning you'll experience otherwise - The arrow carts and ballistae will respawn over time
Once these are down you should be able to burn down Dulfy fairly quickly, break her bar anytime it is available, than focus the gate. Anyone who is down will revive within the gate after you destroy it and enter the city
City Streets
After defeating Dulfy and getting through the gate you will be in the City Streets area, this area is randomized so the path with not be the same each time, you will have to run through trying to get towards the middle courtyard, if you get blocked by a barricade try a different route. You may be forced to back track, there are some smaller groups of enemies but they shouldn't pose much of a threat. When you find the entrance to the courtyard you will need to break the gate to proceed.
Courtyard / Captain Ashym
Once you are through the gate and into the courtyard you will see a large group of enemies and arrow carts/ballistae again. The best way to manage this is to pull the enemies away from the carts, most groups will stack behind a destroyed statue or other immovable object, send out a ranged attack and let the enemies come to your line of sight. After clearing the room a Flame Shaman will approach the middle of the area and start to summon a large fireball, you will have to protect him.
Enemy waves will start spawn around the room starting with the East side. Defeat each wave and move along to the next gate for the next spawn. Once all are done the Shaman will send the fireball at the far locked gate and spawn Captain Ashym.
Captain Ashym - Ashym will have a few phases to go through which is just him changing weapons every 25%, he will have unremovable Protection on him the whole fight as well as Retaliation later on. He will summon adds that will give him might and attack players, kill the adds when possible.
Once Ashym falls you are done!
