How It Fights

| Sweep | Every 26s | One blow across up to 8 fighters, more in a larger raid | One swing ahead, the log says “The black water draws back from Ulcwen's flanks. It is about to come down!” | Hold a heal ready |
| Miasma | Every 50s | Poisons every fighter without Poison Immunity: 6 damage every 15s for 45s. It deals no damage of its own | Warned 5 seconds ahead | A Poison Antidote drunk beforehand; its immunity stacks, so one covers several |
