This page covers healer-focused strategies for the Spires of Ascension dungeon in Shadowlands. While it's tailored for healers, other roles may also find the information useful. If you have any suggestions or feedback, you can leave a comment below or tweet @PrestonDvorak.

This guide has been updated and maintained based on my own experiences as well as Dungeon Journal and combat log information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.

 Bosses

Below are guides for the bosses in Spires of Ascension, including their abilities, healer notes, and addon settings.

Kin-Tara

• When Kin-Tara or Azules is killed, the other Enrages, gaining increased damage dealt.
• On Mythic, avoid the Deep Connection beam between the two bosses.
• Kin'Tara
  • Don't stand in front of the boss to avoid Sweeping Strike.
  • Interrupt Dark Lance (dispel, magic) to prevent the light damage over time dealt to a random player.
  • While Kin-Tara is in the air, when targeted by Charged Spear, move away from other players to drop the resulting lightning patch.
    • If Enraged, Charged Spear is used even while Kin-Tara is on the ground.
• Azules
  • Avoid the impact path of Attenuated Barrage.
  • If Enraged:
    • Avoid the impact path of Maw-Touched Venom and the resulting pools.
    • Targets random players with Insidious Venom (dispel, magic), dealing light damage over time.

 Healing Notes

• If either boss is killed long before the other, be prepared for the increase in damage dealt to all players overall. Both due to the enrage effect but also the additional abilities.

 Debuffs to Track

• Minor: Dark Lance (dispel, magic), Insidious Venom (dispel, magic)

 Addons

• Useful addons will be added as they're available.

Ventunax

• Avoid Shadowhirls left behind when Ventunax moves, and the resulting Dark Bolts they emit.
• Targets random players with Dark Stride, dealing light damage over time and leaving behind a Shadowhirl. 
• Don't stand in front of the boss when he turns to cast Blinding Flash.
• During Reabsorb Anima, Shadowhirls emit additional Dark Bolts.

 Healing Notes

• The longer the encounter lasts the harder healing will get as Dark Bolts get harder to avoid.

 Debuffs to Track

• Minor: Dark Stride

 Addons

• Useful addons will be added as they're available.

Oryphrion

• Stay at least 5-yards away from the tank to avoid Charged Stomp (dispel, magic).
• Don't stand between the boss and the player targeted by Purifying Blast.
• When targeted by Empyreal Ordnance, move at least 10-yards away from other players and as far away from Oryphrion as possible to drop the resulting Anima Field.
• Upon reaching 0 Anima, Drained increases Oryphrion's damage taken and prevents the use of abilities.
  • Channels Recharge Anima, gaining Anima over time and turning all Anima Fields turn into Coalesced Anima
    
    • Coalesced Anima is pulled towards Oryphrion.
    • Players must intercept the Coalesced Anima, which triggers Anima Surge, dealing light damage to all players within 5-yards.
      • On Mythic, this also deals stacking damage over time.
    • Any Coalesced Anima that reaches Oryphrion triggers Overcharge Anima, granting 5 Anima and dealing light damage to all players.

 Healing Notes

• Use cooldowns as-needed during Recharge Anima while players are intercepting Coalesced Anima orbs.

 Debuffs to Track

• Minor: Anima Surge, Charged Stomp (dispel, magic)

 Addons

• Useful addons will be added as they're available.

Devos, Paragon of Doubt

Stage One  - Head On

• Avoid the locations of Abyssal Detonation.
• When affected by Lingering Doubt (dispel, magic), move away from other players to drop the resulting Concentrated Doubt pool.
• Avoid the path of Run Through when it's targeted at a player's location.

Intermission - Activating the Conduit

• Activate deals moderate damage to all players.
• Collect Fragment of Life and bring them to the Archon to restore its health.
  • Doing so also grants players Archon's Boon, increasing damage dealt.

Stage Two - To the Skies

• Run against the force of Slipstream and Backdraft to avoid falling off the platform.
• Pick up Raw Anima and return it to the Conduit to gain the Archon's Spear Extra Action Button.
  • Hitting Devos with the Archon's Spear deals heavy damage and forces her back to the ground.

• Use cooldowns during Activate.
