here are the phases with the ablities, for those lazy to check themselves
Halion has three phases, in which the raid must switch between the physical realm and the shadow realm.
Phase 1A few seconds after being engaged, Halion summons a wall of flame in a circle around him, closing off any players not in the stage.
Halion has a frontal cone breath attack. Like most dragon bosses, he has a tail swipe and cleave. He also summons fireballs, which fall from the sky and hit a large area with fire damage, leaving a patch of flame where it hit, as well as four flames going in four directions out of the fire patch. The location where the fireball will hit is indicated by a hellfire graphic. Any player under it must move out before the fireball hits. All players must move away from the flames that spread from the patch.
He also puts a debuff on random players called Mark of Combustion (not to be confuse with Mark of Consumption in phase 2) . When the debuff ends or when it is removed, a patch forms under the player's feet that deals damage to players in it and players will be pushed away from the patch. Players afflicted have to move to the edge of the stage then get the debuff removed, before running back to the raid. The size of the patch depends on how long it took to dispel it.
This phase ends when halion reaches 75%.
Phase 2Halion shifts to the shadow realm, and summons a portal which players can use to enter as well. In the shadow realm, Halion still has his breath. Mark of Consumption, not Combustion, does shadow damage instead of fire damage, and the Mark of Consumption acts like Mark of Combustion but is a pull instead of a knockback.
Also, two shadow orbs circle around the edges of the stage. Every once in a while, a death beam will come out of the two, connecting them and dealing enough damage to instantly kill any player in the beam. The players (including the tank) must rotate to avoid damage by the death beam.
This phase ends at 50%.
Phase 3Halion exists in both realms, and the raid must split into two; one fights him in the twilight realm, which should consist mostly of melee, and the other fights him in the physical realm, which should consist mostly of ranged. This is because it is easier for melee to navigate in the twilight realm without fireballs making them have to go to ranged, and ranged have an easier time navigating in the physical realm where there are no death beams which require them to stop DPS to keep moving and not get hit.
The other change is that during this phase, Halion recieves a buff called Corporeality. This is determined by a percentage shown at the top of the screen which begins at 50%. Depending on the value of this, Halion will take and deal more damage in one realm and deal and take less damage in the other. There are no damage differences to either realm whilst it remains at 50%.
Damaging Halion in the Physical realm will cause him to phase further into the Twilight realm, lowering his corporeality and works vise versa when damaged in the Twilight Realm. The changes to corporeality are signified by the warning: "Your (or your companion's) efforts have forced Halion further <into/out of> the <Twilight/Physical> realm!" If no damage is dealt in one realm, Halion will begin to rapidly regenerate health.
