Version 1.24 - Shattered Seas Support 🌊Loadout Mastery is now live ⚔️
Face Commander Zhang of the Dragon's Claw faction in his elite warship introduced with season Y1S3 - Into the Dragon's Wake.
The Serpent's Wrath world event features a boss fight against Commander Zhang. A rank 13 elite warship in World Tier 1 and a rank 16 elite warship in World Tier 2 from the Dragon's Claw faction.
He is located in the Indian Ocean far southeast of Telok Penjarah in the Eastern Gate Sea Region.
The main reward for defeating him, is a Commander Zhang's Chest containing two cosmetic pieces.
Acting for the Emperor of the Middle Kingdom, Commander Zhang leads the Dragon's Claw fleet in hunting the Sky Goddess, Li Tian Ning. Once the right hand of Commander Zhang when they served together in the emperors fleet, she left her position in believing that the emperor gets consumed by corruption and darkness and founded her own faction the Phoenix's Talon to rescue her folk and prevent a deadly fate for the Indian Ocean.
This leaves Commander Zhang in a personal twist between obeying to the emperor and hunting a once close friend.
Resulting in a bitter war between these two factions threatening the region and Admiral Rahma's own rebellion, as such she enlists your aid while seeking an agreement with Li Tian Ning that could put an end to the chaos.
Intercept the Dragon's Claw's fleet efforts to buy Admiral Rahma time to seek a deal with Li Tian Ning.
His unique attacks and patterns can be summarized as follows: Commander Zhang will always try to face you head-on in order to unleash a prolonged volley with his fire bombards, combined with his fire and explosive mortar shots.
Be prepared to bring an fire-resistance build or high-damage build into the fight to either endure or finish it quickly.
His two to tree fire mortar shots are dealing mid damage and apply instantly the ablazed status effect to the player.
Tip
It can be helpful to sail in circles to avoid most of his slow flying bow shots.
At the Broadside he is shooting fire culverins.
Along the fight reinforcements are being called in. They consist of a battery ship and two fire ships. Both have a moderate amount of health and also deal a moderate amount of damage on close encounters due to using Sea Fire's.
An flooding build is highly recommended, because Commander Zhang has the following secondary dmg resistances:
| Resistance | % |
|---|---|
| 63 | |
| 14 | |
| 63 | |
| 41 | |
| 41 | |
| 41 |
A full overview of resistances can be found here: Boss Resistances
For all loadouts, I recommend using the Crouching Tiger. The boss remains stationary most of the time, and we want to attack from a distance while also weakening its strikes.
Because of his fire and explosive weapons I recommend the following Armor
Major Furniture
Offensive Furniture
Utility Furniture
