Lightblossom TrinityThe Lightbloom has suffered a terrible defeat, but like the rutaani it imbues, it changes. These Lightblossomed rutaani fanatically propagate their vicious and invasive garden.

Overview: The trio of Lightbloom rutaani work in tandem to sow and nurture a Lightblossom garden. Meittik creates [Fertile Loam] that is then planted by Lekshi's [Lightsower Dash]. Kezkitt rapidly germinates the flora with [Lightblossom Beam] until they burst in a [Lightbloom Overgrowth].

Ziekket

Born from the Lightbloom's epicenter, Ziekket was spawned and incubated by Light-infested rutaani to create an unstoppable engine of the Lightbloom's expansion.

Overview: Ziekket will periodically [Awaken the Lightbloom], sprouting Lightspawn Lashers from the earth and awakening any [Dormant] ones.

Lashers reawaken with Vicious Regrowth.

Lightspawn Lasher

Lightspore Shot: The lasher spews at a player, inflicting 58189 Holy damage.
Dormant: Upon reaching 1% remaining health, Lightspawn Lashers submerge themselves back into the ground, becoming unable to move and immune to player effects.

The orbs instead burst when touched by players, granting that player Lightbloom's Might. (Mythic+, Mythic)

This dungeon is bugged in follower dungeons for Healers/DPS because the NPC tank will pull the final boss too far away and it despawns. I recommend using group finder or waiting for the fix to get the decor item from this dungeon. Unable to complete in follower dungeon mode.
