 * Several Wind Lord adds/minions spawning at specific spots in the maps acting as conduits sustaining the Genie King's immunity. They are a variant of the [[Windshaper]] enemy with the unique difference of having a much faster tornado cast rate and being immune to defense damage & crowd control effects. There are 14 potential Wind Lord spawn locations but the number of Wind Lords spawned in each immunity phase will depend on how many players are present in the map - '''3''' Wind Lords with a single player, '''5''' Wind Lords with two players, '''7''' Wind Lords with three players and '''9''' Wind Lord with all four players. More info about this enemy can be found [[Windshaper#Wind Lord|in this article]].
-Defeating all of the spawned Wind Lords will end the immunity phase, allowing the Genie King to be damaged again. Once another quarter of HP has been taken away, the immunity phase starts gain. As there's only 3 health breakpoints in total, players will only have deal with this phase 3 times at most in each Genie King boss fight.

+* The Genie King's attack pattern against active heroes consists of spitting homing projectiles twice before firing aimbot-level precision eyebeams for a few seconds and then repeat. These attacks are elemental-based and will inflict crippling crowd-control or damage over time effects depending on the elemental type. Additionally, should any heroes end up getting too close to the boss, the Genie King will use his close combat attacks.

 There are 5 types of eyebeams, each inflicting a crippling debuff.

 If you're using a melee hero, having tenacity along with a tanky build (eg. using a Barbarian with Turtle Stance) will make your life much easier with the mitigation of the Genie King's and Wind Lords' CC effects but be prepared to still get knocked back by tongue sweeps a lot when directly attacking the boss.
