Chrome King Gallywix Guide
Encounter Overview
Gallywix is a three-phase fight with a brief intermission between Phases 2 and 3. This encounter is extremely movement-intensive and is vastly different per difficulty.
Normal
Before the pull, the raid should split into two groups with at least one person designated to Bomb duty. The primary mechanic in Phase 1 is an alternating soak mechanic. The primary mechanics in Phase 2 and 3 are handling bombs plus group soaks.
LFR
The raid does not need to split, however, bomb duty is still required. Additionally, certain debuffs and mechanics are absent compared to Normal.
Phase 1
Normal
Setup
Split the raid into two groups and position on opposite sides of the boss.
Everyone stacks near the tank.
The boss doesn’t move, so positioning is easy.
Key Mechanics
Scatterblast Canisters
A large cone attack tracks the tank.
Applies a healing absorb and makes the next Scatterblast hit 100% harder.
Tanks must swap after each cast.
If the absorb isn’t healed, it explodes for extra damage (based on what’s left).
Big Bad Buncha Bombs
Two big bombs drop, marked by large circles.
Move out of the circles and reposition after they explode.
Smaller explosions follow — keep dodging while staying near the tank.
Sapper’s Satchel
One player gets marked with a brown ring.
Stay away from the group until it detonates to avoid splash damage.
Trick Shots
Gally obtains a stack of Trick Shots every 4 seconds. When he swaps targets or reaches 10 stacks, he dumps all stacks and applies a fire DOT that lasts 9 seconds. Fire DOT strength depends on Trick Shots stack
Gatling Cannon
Deals more damage the further away the tank is
Other Abilities
Venting Heat (Every Phase)
Deals raid damage over 4 seconds and applies a DOT. This DOT increases by 1 second each time it's used.
Blast Burns (Every Phase)
This DOT is applied by almost every type of avoidable explosion. It lasts 45 seconds and can stack
Role Specific Duties
Tanks
Taunt swap after each Scatterblast Canisters.
Stay close to the boss while holding aggro.
Healers
Scatterblast Canisters applies a healing absorb to everyone hit.

Normal
Setup

Overview
Gally alternates between 2 different locations - During Giga Coils he remains in the center of the room. After Giga Coils he moves to the edge between 2 of the coils.
Key Mechanics
During Giga Coils
Giga Coils
There are 4 Giga Coils spread around the arena and each Coil has 2 control panels which are located on the grates - 1 on the left, 1 on the right - These are highlighted with blue arrows when you have a bomb. Do not destroy both panels on the same Coil, rotate around to all 4 if needed!
Gally activates one of these and it deals pulsing damage until one control panel is destroyed.
Gally also summons a bunch of adds when he activates a Giga Coil.
Giga Blast
This is a large beam that does raid damage but also deadly damage to anyone that is hit.
If the person carrying the bomb is hit by this the bomb explodes dealing big raid damage.

Odds and Evens should alternate soaks in Phase 1 and Phase 2 - keep the same groups for ease.
This does not become a DPS race until Phase 3 - Focus strongly on the mechanics.
Make sure the primary bomb carrier has good defensives.
Make sure you're avoiding every avoidable attack, that stacking debuff will exhaust your healers.
LFR
The most important part of this fight is handling the bomb.
It's fine to stay stacked until Phase 3.
Make sure you're avoiding every avoidable attack, that stacking debuff will exhaust your healers.
