About the Author
This guide was written by Llarold! I’ve been tanking since Vanilla. During Mists of Pandaria, I saw an opportunity to begin writing guides, and I took it with the hopes of making myself a better tank and making the community into better tanks with me. I hope it’s working!
I am active in all of the tank class Discords but primarily contribute to theorycrafting discussions in
Peak of Serenity
and
Skyhold
(Monk and Warrior). I’m active on
Twitter
, where I mostly talk WoW (and basketball), and I’m half of the team responsible for the YouTube channel
WoW at Night
, which focuses primarily on tank guides and previews.
Kyrian Protection Warrior Covenant Abilities
Kyrian Warrior Class Ability:
晋升堡垒之矛
The Kyrian Class Ability for Warriors of all specializations is
晋升堡垒之矛
: a 60 second cooldown, big AoE damage & Rage generation skill that keeps enemies trapped within its radius. It’s a significant offensive cooldown, and an all-around great skill.
Kyrian is simple and effective, and Spear of Bastion is a strong offensive cooldown. When compared to the Night Fae Covenant ability:
上古余震
, it deals less damage per cast, but its Rage generation is more consistent and immediate, and the cooldown is shorter, and lines up better with other offensive cooldowns. It also deals its damage much more quickly, making it less likely to lose value due to movement. On top of that, it’s a good kiting tool with a totally unique root-esque utility, essentially a better version of
乌索尔旋风
.
Spear of Bastion only has two major downsides. The first is that it has to be ground-targeted, which requires an extra click. Fortunately, that can be circumvented with some very simple macros:
This will immediately cast Spear of Bastion at the location of your cursor:
/cast Spear of Bastion
This will immediately cast Spear of Bastion at your feet:
/cast Spear of Bastion
This will immediately cast Spear of Bastion at your cursor if you hold down shift, and it will cast Spear of Bastion at your feet if you do not hold down shift.
/cast Spear of Bastion; Spear of Bastion
You can use alt, shift, or ctrl as modifiers for macro conditionals.
The base 1-minute cooldown of
晋升堡垒之矛
does not align with any other cooldowns Protection Warriors have, but when using the Mikanikos soulbind, the average cooldown is closer to 40-50 seconds, depending on how many enemies are near you when you cast Spear of Bastion. As a result, it lines up much better with Avatar and Demoralizing Shout than
上古余震
's 75-second cooldown.
Essentially, Kyrian Warrior does everything Night Fae Warrior can do, but better.
Necrolord, on the other hand, is a stronger Protection Warrior Covenant choice than Kyrian when used correctly, but it requires a higher level of effort and planning. It also needs double Legendary and the 4-piece tier set bonus, whereas Kyrian will be just fine while you're still trying to acquire them.
Kyrian Conduit for
晋升堡垒之矛
穿刺之裁
adds a decent chunk of extra damage and Rage generation onto one of your biggest offensive cooldowns. It's really good for improving your burst damage, and easily your strongest Potency Conduit.
Protection Warrior Conduit Guide
Kyrian Signature Ability:
召唤执事者
召唤执事者
is very simple, and a very strong Signature Ability for tanks. Even when you aren't dealing with bleed effects, this is still a third health potion (along with Alchemy health potions and Healthstones), on a 3-minute cooldown. That's terrific. Additionally, your steward can also function as a helpful respec tome or vendor while out in the world!
If you have the level 2 Kyrian Transport system unlocked, your Steward can also summon an
极乐道标
, giving you access to your Transport Network from anywhere within Bastion once every 8 hours. At level 3, the Beacon becomes available to all party members!
Kyrian Exclusive Legendary for Protection Warriors
极乐伟力
adds 4 extra seconds onto
晋升堡垒之矛
and grants 25% extra Crit damage while standing in the area. This Legendary can be a fairly significant DPS increase, but it doesn't really provide any kind of defensive value. That's great for parsing in raids or dealing hilarious bursts of damage in M+. It's not good for defensive value. That's okay. The extra root time can be really good for pinning down adds that like to leap around in Mythic+ dungeons, which is very satisfying to watch, and helpful for keeping them off of your party.
It's also really nice for singling out and killing enemies in PvP! An 8-second, unbreakable pseudo-root is insane!
Legendary Interactions for Kyrian Protection Warriors
晋升堡垒之矛
doesn't directly interact with your Legendaries. That's okay, it's still good.

The value Mikanikos adds at the bottom of his tree with
溢流心能加速器
is unparalleled. He's simply the best.
源生重槌
and
灵魂光谱仪
are also both great powers that can really add a lot of value.
Kyrian Protection Warrior Covenant Rotation Changes
As usual, this page only highlights the specific use case of the class and signature abilities. For more detail on how to play the class across the range of potential situations, check out our other, more detailed guide pages:
Protection Warrior Rotation Guide
晋升堡垒之矛
Try to use
晋升堡垒之矛
on cooldown. Use your other offensive cooldowns (
天神下凡
,
挫志怒吼
with
震耳嗓音
) first if they are available. You can hold off casting
晋升堡垒之矛
to get cooldowns up if they will be available shortly, but don’t wait long. Basically, gaining an extra cast in a fight is worth using an unbuffed Spear, but if you can’t gain an extra cast, lining everything up is the better way to go.
Be sure to spend Rage before casting
晋升堡垒之矛
so that you don’t overcap and waste Rage.
召唤执事者
Use it when you need a health potion. There isn't much more to say about it. If there’s a Bleed or Curse effect that you can remove with it, go for it. Even in the worst-case scenario, it’s still a health potion.
That's it!
Kyrian Protection Warrior Talent Builds
Your talents do not change when using
晋升堡垒之矛
. Not at all.
Protection Warrior Talents
Kyrian Protection Warrior Gearing Differences
晋升堡垒之矛
doesn't have any kind of unusual interactions with gear. Gear exactly the same way you always do: Prioritize item level, sockets, Haste, and Versatility. Mastery and Crit are both still good, just a little less powerful and reliable than the other stats.
Kyrian Protection Warrior Soulbinds
Across all classes and specs, Kyrian have access to the same three soulbinds:
Pelagos
,
Kleia
and
Forgelite Prime Mikanikos
. These are the NPCs who accompany you in completing the Bastion storyline. As you gain Renown with the Kyrian, you gain deeper access to a tree of Soulbind Traits (always-on, game-wide bonuses) and Conduits (semi-customizable bonuses to specific abilities).
These tree progressively unlock based on completion steps (such as finishing the campaign) and your Renown level with the Kyrian Covenant.
Below, we have summarized the optimal route through each Soulbind tree and the best Conduits along the way. There is some flexibility at points, with some Soulbind traits offering two non-throughput, utility-oriented options, or some defensive Conduits being arguably better in some situations than others, and weaker in some situations than others.
Pelagos grants a few powerful traits:
战斗冥想
causes using
晋升堡垒之矛
to grant a major Mastery buff. You will periodically drop orbs while the buff is active, and picking them up will extend its duration. It can have pretty good uptime thanks to
晋升堡垒之矛
having a 1-minute cooldown that syncs up perfectly with its 1-minute internal cooldown. You can absolutely maximize the possible Mastery value of
战斗冥想
, and that’s terrific. It will boost your
晋升堡垒之矛
damage by quite a bit, too. It’s always good to layer all of your offensive cooldowns together with a big stat buff!
放下过去
grants a constant, passive 3% magic damage taken reduction buff. It’s boring, and not really a big deal. It's helpful, but nothing special.
强强联手
adds a simple bit of stat budget. It's nothing special, but free Mastery is good!
崭新决心
adds a large chunk of stat budget as a reward for facing a little sha-ling spawn. It can spawn directly behind you at times, so be quick and careful to avoid getting attacked in the back. It's very good!
This is a good all-around tree, but not the best. Mikanikos is the best.
Here is an ideal setup for this Soulbind Tree:
Kleia provides a couple of valuable bonuses:
骁勇打击
grants a major reactive emergency heal for you or your nearby allies.
晋升之瓶
makes your Kyrian Potion more effective at clearing annoying debuffs and bleeds. Unfortunately, this forces you away from an early Potency conduit, and is thus a bit of a disappointing option.
勇气外露
has the potential to grant a very large amount of stat budget in AoE situations, which is great! Good enough to justify taking Kleia's tree, though? No, not really.
执政官之矛
grants a nice chunk of Critical Strike chance at the start of pulls, or when adds spawn. It's not bad!
希望永存
adds a bit of extra defensive value, but its effect is fairly limited, and it forces you through a second Finesse Conduit, which is not great.
照亮道路
grants a good chunk of Critical Strike chance, eventually granting 5% to both you and an ally. It's good, but not quite as good as the competing end-tier traits from Pelagos and Mikanikos.
Here is an ideal setup for this Soulbind Tree:
Picking Forgelite Prime Mikanikos grants access to the following notable traits:
行动的召唤:布隆
adds a bunch of damage and a slightly-annoying AoE knockback!
掌炉大师的滤网
can potentially waste your health potion, but it can also help if your reactions aren't quick enough. Not a great trait.
源生重槌
grants Haste at the start of pulls and upon add spawns. It's not great in pure single target, but for Mythic+ and any raid fights with periodic add spawns, the extra stat budget is very, very strong.
灵魂光谱仪
adds a simple, stacking damage buff. It's decent.
反应式改造
is a very simple, small defensive shield. It's Mikanikos' best defensive trait. It's not very strong, but it can still be a really useful defensive bonus in progression raiding or Mythic+ pushing.
溢流心能加速器
is a major AoE DPS increase. The cooldown reduction is really, really good in all-out AoE, but not so much in small-pull situations. The DoT is free damage. It's great.
This tree is the best for maximizing your AoE DPS. Its defensive value is a bit less consistent than what Pelagos provides, but it's easily the strongest option for dealing damage, and extremely powerful in terms of overall value. The cooldown reduction at the bottom of the tree really helps alleviate one of Kyrian Warrior's biggest issues: cooldowns not lining up effectively.
Double Legendaries for Kyrian Protection Warrior
Patch 9.2 adds the option of using two legendaries at the same time, with the restriction that one of them is your Covenant legendary. This change empowers Kyrian Protection Warrior even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.
