Overview

• Released August 1 as the duos-mode entry in the weekly Everdark Sovereign rotation, Augur returned as a co-op boss variant for two players.
• Players have broadly condemned the fight as monotonous and overly long, criticizing its lack of variety compared with other Everdark bosses.
• The encounter mandates use of the Storm Ruler weapon skill in its second phase, stripping away build diversity by sidelining most gear and abilities.
• Guardian Nightfarer mains have driven a meta shift by exploiting that class’s shield blocks and tank capabilities to withstand Augur’s high-damage attacks.
• Community-created guides emphasize distance play, energy-orb targeting and sleep-resistance loadouts to streamline the encounter and farm rewards efficiently.
