Overview
The hideous Voiceless One is one of the most malefic servants of the Void Lords, and has infested the Elemental Flow with Void energies, seeking to ensure the corruption of the Final Titan. If the fiend is successful in polluting the Elemental Flow, nothing will save Azeroth from being consumed by the Void.

Clarion's Abilities
Clarion will have the following abilities in all phases of the encounter. She will gain additional abilities in certain phases.



Elemental Guardian
Each Elemental Font will have two Elemental Guardians present. Both Guardians will initially have 10% health and be afflicted with Polluted. When both are healed to 100%, they will purge the nearby Elemental Font of pollution, causing an Elemental Flare. Guardians cannot be reduced to less than 10% health.



Phase One - the Font of Earth
Clarion will use all of her abilities and summon Doomslither Voidhounds with her Hordes of the Silent ability.

Phase Two - the Font of Fire
Clarion will use all of her abilities and summon Doomslither Voidhounds, Voidmind Corruptors, and El'dretch Ravagers with her Hordes of the Silent ability.

Phase Three - the Font of Air
Clarion will use all of her abilities and summon Doomslither Voidhounds, Voidmind Corruptors, El'dretch Ravagers, and N'raqi Desecrators with her Hordes of the Silent ability.

Phase Four - the Font of Water
Clarion will use all of her abilities and summon Volatile Voidfiends with her Hordes of the Silent ability. She will also gain the following ability.



Phase Five - the Font of Spirit
Clarion will use all of her abilities and summon all varieties of creatures with her Hordes of the Silent ability. Volatile Voidfiends will fixate random targets instead of Elemental Guardians, although their Umbral Detonation can still damage Elemental Guardians. She will also gain the following ability.



Strategy
In Clarion's chamber are 5 Elemental Fonts, arranged in a circle - Earth, Fire, Air, Water, and Spirit. Elemental Fonts are protected by a pair of Elemental Guardians that correspond to the Font they guard. Upon entering the chamber, the Fonts of Spirit, Water, and Air are totally polluted, their guardians corrupted, and Clarion is currently polluting the Font of Fire. Upon engaging Clarion, she will fully pollute the Font of Fire and move to pollute the final font, the Font of Earth, reducing the health of the Elemental Guardians there to 10%. The encounter proper will begin at the Earth Font.

To protect the Earth Font from pollution, the two Elemental Guardians guarding it must be healed up to 100%. When both guardians reach 100%, they will begin to channel a spell on the Elemental Font. If they can complete the spell it will cause the Font to release an Elemental Flare, which will stun Clarion for a long time before forcing her to retreat to the polluted Fire Font, moving in a counter-clockwise motion. if Clarion successfully manages to cast Silence Falls and pollute the Font of Earth, all the heroes are immediately slain.

When Clarion retreats to any Polluted Font, the Corrupted Guardians there begin to throw off their pollution, transforming back into Elemental Guardians with 10% health. This provides the heroes with an opportunity to purify the guardians and restore another Font. If the heroes are successful in restoring the Font, it will again stun Clarion and force her to retreat.

If Clarion is ever successful in casting Silence Falls, she will immediately heal 20% of her max health, pollute the Elemental Font, and move back to the nearest uncorrupted Elemental Font. Once there, Clarion taints the Font with darkness and reduces the health of the two Elemental Guardians there to 10%, requiring the heroes to restore them once again.

Once Clarion is pushed back to the Spirit Font, she will be at 20% health and will unleash all of her abilities upon the heroes, as well as calling forth all varieties of her servants. If the heroes heal the two Elemental Guardians at the Font of Spirit, they can trigger an Elemental Flare that will purify the final font and stun Clarion for a lengthy amount of time, increasing the damage she takes. However, if Clarion is not slain before the stun ends, she will immediately cast Silence Falls, healing for 20% of her max health, polluting the Font of Spirit and pushing the heroes back to the Font of Water.
