The Voidspire
Raid guide · Patch 12.0 · Normal / Heroic / Mythic
12.0
The Voidspire is Midnight Season 1's six-boss flagship raid — a shattered spire between the Twisting Nether and a fallen titan facility. Imperator Averzian teaches tic-tac-toe territory control; Vorasius splits the raid for wall-breaking intermissions; Salhadaar, the dragons, Lightblinded Vanguard, and Crown of the Cosmos escalate void corruption, split groups, and memory checks. Pre-assign soaks and path teams before pull 1.
- Clear outer platform trash in two pulls — Void-Touched Sentinels link within 8 yards.
- After Averzian: upper spiral (Vorasius, Vaelgor & Ezzorak) vs lower bridge (Salhadaar) — assign teams before pull.
- Nexus Convergence is a checkpoint — release and run back without re-clearing branches.
- Averzian: assign middle-first tic-tac-toe caller and Umbral Collapse soakers before pull.
- Save battle res for Lightblinded Vanguard if a tank dies during 100-energy overlap.
- Mythic Fractured Walkway: kill Void Stalkers before bridge gate opens.
Boss encounters
Mechanics tagged heroic/mythic only show on that difficulty.
Imperator Averzian
A tic-tac-toe fight: three Abyssal Voidshapers claim floor tiles. Three in a row triggers March of the Endless (wipe). Soak Umbral Collapse on Voidshapers to kill them. Two soaks per wave; one claim always goes through. Boss in claimed tiles gains 99% DR.

Full fight flow
Read left to right — each phase repeats until the boss dies or enrages.
- 1EveryoneTic-tac-toe
Kill Voidshapers with Umbral Collapse. Middle first.
Call middle tile first every Shadow's Advance wave. Ping which Voidshaper each Umbral Collapse will hit — two soaks back-to-back each wave, one claim always goes through. Stack in the soak ON the Voidshaper you want dead.
- 2TankClaim & portal
One tile claims per wave. Portal triggers intermission.
Tank kites Averzian away from all claimed tiles — Imperator's Glory gives 99% damage reduction in claimed territory. Swap at ~8 Blackening Wounds stacks. When portal opens, incoming tank taunts at intermission start — adds run to highest stacks.
- 3EveryoneIntermission
Kill adds, dodge Void Fall and Oblivion's Wrath lances.
Interrupt Pitch Bulwark on Voidbound Annihilators — required, not optional. Kill Annihilators first, then Voidmaws. Heroic: kill Voidmaws before 35% or they run to claimed tiles and heal. Tank all adds 10+ yards from boss.
- 4EveryoneRepeat
More portals = more mechanics each intermission.
Each intermission adds more portals and mechanics — Shadow Phalanx walls on intermissions 2, 4, 6 on Heroic+. Find gaps in the wall and run through; getting hit is lethal. Mythic: dispel Void Marked on Voidshapers to break Cosmic Shell before Umbral Collapse.
- 5DPSBurn
Kill boss before too many tiles claimed.
Three tiles in a row triggers March of the Endless — wipe. Burn the boss before too many tiles are claimed. Never let boss stand in claimed territory. Mythic: hard-swap to Voidshaper at high energy before Endwalker form.

New player checklist
- 1Learn the 9-tile grid before pull — middle tile is always first priority.
- 2When you get Umbral Collapse, soak it ON a Voidshaper to kill it and block that tile.
- 3Two Umbral Collapses per wave — call which tiles you're breaking before they land.
- 4Never stand between Averzian and the active tank during soaks.
- 5Tanks swap at ~8 Blackening Wounds stacks.
- 6Keep boss OUT of claimed tiles — Imperator's Glory gives 99% damage reduction.
- 7Intermission: interrupt Pitch Bulwark on Annihilators; kill Voidmaws before they reach claimed tiles at 35%.
!
This will wipe you
- Three claimed tiles in a row — March of the Endless wipes the raid.
- Boss standing in claimed territory — 99% DR makes progress impossible.
- Missing both Umbral Collapses on the same Voidshaper when you needed two kills.
- Voidmaws reaching claimed tiles at 35% on Heroic — they heal to full.
- Adds within 10 yards of boss during intermission — they get empowered.
- On Mythic: Voidshaper reaching 100 energy — Endwalker form spirals the pull.
Heroic notes
- Voidmaws at 35% run to nearest claimed tile and heal — kill fast.
- Adds must be 10 yards from boss or they empower.
- Shadow Phalanx on intermissions 2, 4, 6.
