History of Unstable Light

Overview

Unstable Light is a timed debuff applied to a random damage player standing in a Pool of Reclaimed Light during King's Fall’s Golgoroth encounter. Before the timer expires, the affected Guardian should leave the group; the explosion harms nearby allies but can damage Golgoroth if it detonates beside him. The encounter’s debuff is Unstable Light, distinct from the unrelated Dreambane armor pickup Unstable Essence.
