Ji-Kun

Description

Mogu flesh-shapers discarded their failed creations in an abyssal shaft beneath Lei Shen's keep. The reek of decay lured many scavengers to the refuse pit, including the great Ji-Kun. Ruthless and cunning, the monstrous bird devoured her rivals one-by-one until she held sole dominion over the shadowy tunnel.

Loot

Ji-Kun's Flock

Ji-Kun's young are located throughout the roost and progress through different stages of life. After a period of incubation Young Eggs of Ji-Kun will hatch into Hatchlings. When fed by Ji-Kun, the Hatchlings then mature into Fledglings. Both Fledgling Eggs and Mature Eggs will hatch into Juveniles.

Young Egg of Ji-Kun

Eggs in the lower nests located around Ji-Kun's roost will periodically hatch. Once the egg hatches, a Hatchling will emerge.

Mature Egg of Ji-Kun

Mature Eggs of Ji-Kun take longer to incubate and spawn a Juvenile when the incubation process is complete.

Nest Guardians

On Heroic difficulty, some of Ji-Kun's nest are defended by Nest Guardians, which will attack any players attempting to disturb their nest.

Infected Talons

Whenever Ji-Kun successfully strikes a player with a melee ability the victim suffers 0 Nature damage every 3 seconds for 10 sec. This effect stacks.

Feed Young

Ji-Kun spits up globs of food for her young. If a Hatchling has called out for food, Ji-Kun will aim this ability in their direction; otherwise the food will land at random locations around Ji-Kun's platform. When the food lands on the ground, it forms a Feed Pool. While a glob of food is traveling through the air, players with Flight can intercept it to prevent a Feed Pool from forming. Doing so afflicts the player with Slimed, but also grants Primal Nutriment.

Slimed

After intercepting Ji-Kun's food globules the player suffers 0 Nature damage every 5 seconds for 15 sec. This effect increases the damage of the next Slimed by 10% when it expires. The increased damage effect stacks.

Feed Pool

Feed Pools that form on the main platform will inflict 0 Nature damage to all players within them each second. If a player stands in a Feed Pool for 3 seconds they will absorb the Feed Pool and become Slimed.

Primal Nutriment

Successfully catching one of Ji-Kun's food globules mid-air increases the player's damage by 100% and healing by 30% for 30 sec. Primal Nutriment increases damage and healing by an additional 10% each time it is applied, up to a maximum of 200%.

Talon Rake

Ji-Kun uses her talons to pierce through the armor of her current target. Talon Rake inflicts 175% weapon damage as Physical damage and increases the damage received by the victim from future Talon Rakes by 50% for 1 min.

Quills

Ji-Kun sends her quills about the entire roost, inflicting 0 Physical damage to all players every 1 sec for 8 sec.

Down Draft

Ji-Kun flaps her wings violently, pushing all enemies on her platform outward. Down Draft persists for 8 sec.

Caw

Ji-Kun cries out at 1 random player, sending piercing sound waves at their location. When the waves reach their destination they inflict 0 Physical damage to all targets within 8 yards of the impact.

Caw

Ji-Kun cries out at 3 random players, sending piercing sound waves at their locations. When the waves reach their destination they inflict 0 Physical damage to all targets within 8 yards of the impact.

Daedalian Wings

When an egg or hatchling from the lower nests located around Ji-Kun's roost is slain it leaves behind a feather for players to loot. This feather grants the player Daedalian Wings. Daedalian Wings grants the player an extra action button that allows players to take flight for 10 sec. In Normal difficulty, feathers grant 4 charges of Daedalian Wings. Players can have up to 4 charges at any time.

Flight

Players who have the Daedalian Wings buff can take flight for 10 sec. In the Normal and Heroic versions of the Ji-Kun encounter, using Flight consumes one charge of Daedalian Wings.

Lesson of Icarus

After acquiring a feather, players must wait to acquire another. In Normal and Heroic difficulties, players cannot gain further charges of Daedalian Wings for 1 min.
