== Behavior and Mechanics ==
=== Eyebeams ===
One of the Genie King main means of attack, these eyebeams has map-wide targeting coverage along with aimbot-level of tracking targeted players when they're within the boss' line-of-sight. The eyebeams are able to pierce through Reflect Beams but can be blocked by terrainand will also deal minor continuous knockback to any heroes being struck. Each eyebeam attack last for 5 seconds <br/>
There are 5 types of eyebeams, each inflicting a crippling debuff. Most of the time the Genie King will utilize two types of eyebeams at the same time (one from each eye) - if there's only one player both eyebeams will be focused on the direction of that player and if there's two players or more, the eyebeam will be fired in two different directions dependent on the location of both targeted players. Note that the different debuffs' crippling effects (excluding duration) are able to be stacked with each other and conventional elemental combo logic does not apply with these attacks.
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. But it will be even better if you utilize both types of characters - ranged for Genie King and melee for Wind Lords since that's where both types excel in tackling.
Using [[World Tree]] with World Tree Mcbufferson, [[Obelisk]] with Empowering Blasphemy or [[Flame Aura|Flame]]/[[Water Aura]] with Empowering Aura shard will also help increase damage done to the boss. And furthermore, the Genie King can also be affected by debuffs (which increases his damage taken) from;
* Sundering Blow shard.
