Use yourCast as frequently as possible.
It can trap the Sea-Shamblers, deal extra damage, and give you more room to maneuver.
Phase Shift is another solid option, as it slows everything down, giving you more time to react.
Once the Sea-Shamblers are gone, it’s time to take on The Yargonaut one-on-one.
