Pandarian champion

Pandarian champions are special rare mobs found wandering the continent of Pandaria. Attackable by both Alliance and Horde players, champions provide a tougher challenge than most, and drop special loot. Defeating Pandarian champions is the objective of the achievements A Worthy Opponent, Could We Find More Like That? and Glorious!. There are 56 Pandarian champions in total.

Although not elites, champions have far more health than normal mobs. They also have a number of special abilities, and defeating them requires players to use more strategy than is usually required with other mobs. Champions' special attacks are extremely powerful, and can often defeat adventurers with just a few blows. With their massive health pools, defeating a champion usually takes some time, if the player can survive that long.

Tips
The difficulty of overcoming champions varies depending on the type and level of both the champion and the player. Some types of champion are far harder for certain classes to defeat, and many require the use of interrupts and evasive manoeuvres throughout the fight. Learn the abilities and behaviour of each type, and how best to use your abilities against them.

Trivia

 * Each champion comes with a unique say emote, prompted upon engaging the champion in combat. However, champions rarely use these emotes, and it is possible to defeat a given champion several times without seeing their signature emote. Nonetheless, these quotes serve to add some unique character to each champion.


 * While each type of champion has its own strengths and weaknesses, saurok champions for some reason generally possess fewer hit points than other kinds. The difference increases by level: the level 85 saurok Sarnak's health is equal to that of the other Jade Forest champions, while the level 91 saurok Moldo One-Eye has only 85% of the health of the other champions in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
