Raids Guide

Serpentshrine Cavern Guide

Updated 29 Apr 2026 Forum discussion

Serpentshrine Cavern is where TBC raiding stops being “early raid prep” and starts becoming real 25-player coordination. SSC has six bosses, multiple resistance and control checks, add waves, positioning mechanics, tank swaps, fishing requirements, and one of the most famous end bosses in the expansion: Lady Vashj.

This guide is built as a practical raid-readiness and strategy guide: access, attunement, roster setup, consumables, role prep, boss order, boss-by-boss strategies, common wipe causes, and how to use EpicForge Raid Planner and Raid Check before zoning in.

Quick Navigation

Important: SSC is not a raid you brute-force with “good enough” assignments. Hydross needs resistance planning, Lurker needs positioning, Leo needs demon control, Karathress needs add assignments, Morogrim needs murloc control, and Vashj needs the whole raid awake.

1. Serpentshrine Cavern Overview

Serpentshrine Cavern, usually called SSC, is a 25-player raid inside Coilfang Reservoir in Zangarmarsh. It is one of the major Tier 5 raids in TBC and ends with Lady Vashj.

Basic raid details:

  • Raid size: 25 players
  • Location: Coilfang Reservoir, Zangarmarsh
  • Boss count: 6
  • Final boss: Lady Vashj
  • Tier loot: Tier 5 Gloves, Legs, and Helm tokens
  • Common progression pairing: Tempest Keep / The Eye

Boss list:

Why SSC matters:

  • It is a major Tier 5 raid.
  • It tests raid organisation across multiple fight styles.
  • It includes resistance tanking, add waves, beam/positioning-style mechanics, interrupts, kill priorities, and long fight execution.
  • Lady Vashj is one of the most coordination-heavy fights in early TBC raiding.
  • It is a strong checkpoint for whether your raid is ready for deeper progression.

SSC is not one mechanic repeated six times. Every boss asks a different question of your raid.

2. Access, Location, and Attunement

SSC is located inside Coilfang Reservoir in Zangarmarsh. Swim down into the central reservoir pipe area and enter the raid portal.

Access checklist:

  • Be level 70 and raid-ready.
  • Travel to Coilfang Reservoir in Zangarmarsh.
  • Confirm your raid is set as a 25-player raid.
  • Check your server/phase rules for whether SSC attunement is required for entry.
  • Even if entry attunement is removed on your ruleset, the attunement chain may still matter for completion, titles, or progression goals.

Historical SSC attunement path:

  1. Enter The Slave Pens on Heroic difficulty.
  2. Find Arthorn Windsong after the first boss area.
  3. Accept The Cudgel of Kar'desh.
  4. Kill Gruul the Dragonkiller in Gruul’s Lair for the Earthen Signet.
  5. Kill Nightbane in Karazhan for the Blazing Signet.
  6. Return to Skar’this in Heroic Slave Pens and complete the quest.

Practical raid-night access check:

  • Confirm nobody is locked out.
  • Confirm summon team is ready outside Coilfang Reservoir.
  • Confirm at least one player can summon Lurker by fishing.
  • Confirm your Hydross resistance tanks are actually geared before zone-in.

Do not discover on raid night that your Hydross tanks do not have resistance gear or your raid cannot summon The Lurker Below.

3. Recommended Raid Composition

SSC needs flexibility. You need resistance tanks for Hydross, controlled ranged/healer spread for Lurker, warlock-style demon tanking/control for Leotheras, add assignments for Karathress, AoE/control for Morogrim murlocs, and strong coordination for Vashj.

Safe progression setup:

  • 3-4 tanks / tank-capable players
  • 7-8 healers
  • 13-15 DPS

Farm setup:

  • 2-3 tanks / tank-capable players
  • 6-7 healers
  • 15-17 DPS

Useful raid tools:

  • Frost Resistance tank for Hydross
  • Nature Resistance tank for Hydross
  • Warlock tank or high Fire Resistance player for Leotheras demon phase
  • Hunters for misdirects, control, and Vashj add handling
  • Warlocks and Mages for Morogrim murloc control/AoE
  • Shamans for Bloodlust / Heroism
  • Reliable interrupts for Karathress and trash
  • Players who can handle assignments without constant reminders

Assignment-heavy fights:

  • Hydross: Frost/Nature tank swaps and add control
  • Lurker: platform positions and Spout movement
  • Leotheras: demon tank, whirlwind spread, inner demon kills
  • Karathress: multiple add tanks and kill order
  • Morogrim: murloc control and Watery Grave recovery
  • Vashj: add teams, Tainted Elemental calls, core passing, generator shutdowns

SSC rewards raids that assign jobs clearly. “Everyone knows the fight” is not a plan.

4. Pre-Raid Checklist

SSC has too many mechanics to rely on improvisation. Before pulling, check the raid properly.

Character readiness:

  • Gear repaired
  • Correct spec for assigned role
  • Correct weapons and trinkets equipped
  • All reasonable gear enchanted
  • All sockets filled
  • Meta gem active if using one
  • Food, flask/elixirs, potions, bandages, reagents, and class items ready
  • Threat tools and interrupts keybound
  • Resistance sets ready where required

Raid readiness:

  • Hydross Frost tank assigned
  • Hydross Nature tank assigned
  • Hydross add tanks/control assigned
  • Lurker fisher confirmed
  • Leotheras demon tank assigned
  • Karathress add tanks assigned
  • Morogrim murloc control assigned
  • Vashj add groups assigned
  • Vashj Tainted Core pass order explained
  • Healer assignments confirmed
  • Loot rules clear before pull

SSC is not where you should be assigning jobs after the boss has already been pulled.

5. Consumables and Buffs

SSC progression is long enough that consumables matter. Good consumes shorten dangerous phases, reduce healer strain, and give the raid more room to recover from mistakes.

Baseline for everyone:

  • Food buff
  • Flask or battle/guardian elixir setup
  • Healing or mana potions as appropriate
  • Class reagents
  • Weapon oil, sharpening stone, or weightstone if relevant
  • Bandages
  • Repair gold

Useful food examples:

Useful potion examples:

Useful flask examples:

SSC progression is not just about boss knowledge. Running out of mana, losing tanks to resistance damage, or failing long-fight execution usually means the raid was not prepared enough.

Back to top

6. Role-by-Role Prep

Tanks

Tanks should check:

  • Defensive gear ready
  • Threat gear available if survivability is comfortable
  • Hydross Frost/Nature Resistance sets ready if assigned
  • Leotheras demon tank assignment understood if applicable
  • Karathress add assignments understood
  • Vashj add pickup responsibilities understood
  • Cooldowns ready for unstable transitions

Hydross is the first test. If the resistance tanks are not ready, SSC starts badly.

Healers

Healers should check:

  • Tank assignments for each boss
  • Hydross resistance tank swap timing
  • Lurker platform spread
  • Leotheras whirlwind and demon phase healing
  • Karathress multi-tank healing
  • Morogrim Watery Grave and murloc wave recovery
  • Vashj Phase 2 add-team coverage
  • Mana potions and long-fight sustain

SSC healing is not just raw throughput. It is positioning, assignment discipline, and not wasting mana early in long fights.

DPS

DPS should check:

  • Correct kill order for each boss
  • Threat control ready
  • Interrupts and stuns keybound
  • Ability to swap quickly to adds
  • Personal positioning for Lurker, Leo, Morogrim, and Vashj
  • Consumables ready
  • Gems and enchants finished

SSC DPS is not just boss damage. If you ignore Hydross adds, Lurker adds, Leo demons, Morogrim murlocs, or Vashj Phase 2 targets, you are creating wipes.

Back to top

7. Recommended Clear Order

SSC routes can vary, but most raids use a practical progression route that starts with Hydross and works through the raid toward Vashj.

Common progression route:

  1. Hydross the Unstable
  2. The Lurker Below
  3. Leotheras the Blind
  4. Fathom-Lord Karathress
  5. Morogrim Tidewalker
  6. Lady Vashj

Notes:

  • The Lurker Below requires fishing to summon.
  • Some raids adjust boss order depending on progression blockers.
  • Lady Vashj is the final boss and should not be treated as “just another pull”.

SSC is not a straight hallway. Plan your route, summon Lurker properly, and avoid wasting raid time with unclear movement.

Back to top

8. Boss-by-Boss Strategy Guide

Each SSC boss tests a different part of your raid. This section gives practical raid execution, not just a list of abilities.

Hydross the Unstable

Hydross is a resistance tanking and positioning fight. He swaps between Frost and Nature forms depending on where he is positioned. Crossing the boundary changes his form and spawns adds, so movement must be controlled.

What this fight tests: resistance gear, tank swaps, add pickup, positioning discipline, and controlled phase changes.

Key mechanics:

  • Hydross the Unstable — swaps between Frost and Nature forms.
  • Frost phase — requires Frost Resistance tanking.
  • Nature phase — requires Nature Resistance tanking.
  • Mark stacks — damage increases the longer a phase lasts.
  • Elemental adds — spawn when Hydross changes phase.

Recommended setup:

  • 1 Frost Resistance tank
  • 1 Nature Resistance tank
  • 2-4 add tanks or tank-capable players
  • Healers assigned to each resistance tank
  • DPS ready to swap to adds immediately

Strategy:

  • Start Hydross in the assigned opening form.
  • Only move him across the boundary when the raid leader calls for a phase swap.
  • When Hydross changes form, adds spawn. Tanks pick them up immediately.
  • DPS kills adds quickly before returning to Hydross.
  • Do not let mark stacks climb too high before swapping.
  • When swapping forms, the correct resistance tank must take over immediately.
  • Raid should avoid standing where adds spawn or where tanks need to move.

DPS priority:

  1. Freshly spawned adds
  2. Hydross once adds are controlled/dead

Common mistakes:

  • Resistance tanks not geared enough
  • Hydross accidentally dragged over the boundary
  • Adds not picked up quickly
  • DPS tunnelling boss while adds kill healers
  • Phase swaps happening with poor healer positioning
  • Mark stacks getting too high

Hydross is lost through sloppy movement. The boss should only change form when the raid is ready.

Back to boss list

The Lurker Below

The Lurker Below is a positioning and awareness fight. He is summoned by fishing in his pool after surrounding platform trash is cleared. The raid must handle Spout, Whirl, adds, and platform movement.

What this fight tests: spread positions, water/platform movement, add control, and not getting knocked into bad spots.

Key mechanics:

  • The Lurker Below — summoned by fishing.
  • Spout — rotating beam; move around the boss or enter water as needed.
  • Whirl — knocks nearby players back.
  • Geyser — knocks targeted players around.
  • Add phase — Lurker submerges and adds spawn on platforms.

Before the pull:

  • Clear the surrounding platform trash.
  • Confirm someone has enough Fishing skill to summon Lurker.
  • Assign platform groups.
  • Assign add tanks or control players.
  • Make sure everyone understands Spout movement.

Strategy:

  • Tank Lurker in position while the raid spreads around platforms.
  • When Spout begins, move with the rotation or safely avoid it using the water/platform layout.
  • Do not stand still and try to eat Spout.
  • Watch for Whirl and avoid being knocked into bad positions.
  • When Lurker submerges, assigned groups handle adds on platforms.
  • Kill ranged/caster adds quickly and keep healers safe.
  • Return to boss positions before Lurker resurfaces.

DPS priority:

  1. Adds during submerge phase
  2. Lurker during active phase

Common mistakes:

  • No fisher available
  • Players do not understand Spout movement
  • Raid gets knocked into water at bad times
  • Adds loose on healers
  • Platform groups not assigned
  • People panic-swim and lose position

Lurker is clean when everyone knows their platform and respects Spout. The fight falls apart when people treat movement as optional.

Back to boss list

Leotheras the Blind

Leotheras is a threat, positioning, and personal responsibility fight. He swaps between humanoid and demon forms, uses Whirlwind, and forces players to kill their own Inner Demons.

What this fight tests: threat control, demon tanking, spread discipline, and individual DPS responsibility.

Key mechanics:

  • Leotheras the Blind
  • Whirlwind — melee-range danger; spread and avoid chasing.
  • Demon Form — requires a ranged/fire-resistance style tank setup.
  • Chaos Blast — demon phase damage that stacks/fire pressures the demon tank.
  • Inner Demon — each affected player must kill their own demon.
  • Final split phase — both forms become active near the end.

Recommended setup:

  • Main tank for humanoid form
  • Warlock or high Fire Resistance tank for demon form
  • Healers assigned to both tanks
  • DPS capable of killing Inner Demons quickly

Strategy:

  • Main tank controls Leotheras in humanoid form.
  • When Whirlwind begins, melee move away and nobody chases him through the raid.
  • After Whirlwind, tank re-establishes control before DPS opens hard.
  • During demon form, demon tank positions and holds threat at range.
  • Healers focus the demon tank during Chaos Blast pressure.
  • When Inner Demons spawn, affected players must kill their own demon quickly.
  • Players who fail their Inner Demon become a major raid problem.
  • At the final phase, both forms are active and tanks/healers must split correctly.

DPS priority:

  1. Your own Inner Demon if targeted
  2. Leotheras after tank control is stable
  3. Final split targets as assigned by raid leader

Common mistakes:

  • Melee chasing during Whirlwind
  • DPS opening too fast after Whirlwind
  • Demon tank not prepared
  • Inner Demons not killed
  • Healers not swapping properly between forms
  • Final phase panic

Leotheras exposes individual players. If you cannot kill your Inner Demon, the raid pays for it.

Back to boss list

Fathom-Lord Karathress

Fathom-Lord Karathress is a council-style fight. You fight Karathress and his guards. Each guard brings a different danger, and Karathress becomes more dangerous as guards die.

What this fight tests: multi-tank assignments, kill order, interrupt awareness, healer focus, and raid discipline.

Key targets:

Common kill order:

  1. Fathom-Guard Sharkkis
  2. Fathom-Guard Tidalvess
  3. Fathom-Guard Caribdis
  4. Fathom-Lord Karathress

Kill order can vary by raid strategy, but the key is that every add has an assigned tank and every DPS follows the same order.

Strategy:

  • Assign a tank to Karathress and each guard.
  • Separate the guards enough to reduce overlapping chaos.
  • DPS burns the first assigned guard while tanks stabilise the rest.
  • Interrupt and control dangerous casts where possible.
  • Healers must be assigned because multiple tanks take damage at once.
  • As each guard dies, Karathress gains additional pressure, so the fight does not simply get easier.
  • Once guards are dead, finish Karathress cleanly.

Common mistakes:

  • No clear tank assignments
  • DPS split between guards
  • Interrupts missed
  • Healers not assigned to all tanks
  • Raid not adjusting as Karathress gains abilities
  • Loose pets/adds creating chaos

Karathress is won through clean assignments. If every add has a tank and DPS follows kill order, the fight becomes much more manageable.

Back to boss list

Morogrim Tidewalker

Morogrim is a tank-and-add-control fight. The boss himself is straightforward, but murloc waves, Watery Grave, Earthquake, and raid positioning create pressure.

What this fight tests: tank stability, murloc control, AoE discipline, healer awareness, and recovery after raid disruption.

Key mechanics:

  • Morogrim Tidewalker
  • Watery Grave — teleports players away and damages them.
  • Earthquake — raid damage and murloc wave trigger.
  • Murloc adds — must be controlled and killed cleanly.
  • Water Globules — later-phase danger if mishandled.

Recommended setup:

  • Strong main tank
  • Paladin tank or strong AoE tank for murlocs if available
  • Warlocks/Mages for AoE and control
  • Healers assigned to grave targets and murloc tank

Strategy:

  • Main tank positions Morogrim safely.
  • Raid spreads enough to handle Watery Grave movement and healing.
  • When Watery Grave happens, healers prepare for returning players taking damage.
  • After Earthquake, murloc waves spawn.
  • Murlocs should be gathered by assigned tank/control players.
  • AoE DPS kills murlocs once they are controlled.
  • Do not AoE early and rip murlocs into healers.
  • In later phase, handle Water Globules carefully and avoid unnecessary deaths.

DPS priority:

  1. Murloc waves once controlled
  2. Water Globule danger if active
  3. Morogrim

Common mistakes:

  • Murlocs running into healers
  • AoE starting before murlocs are controlled
  • Watery Grave targets not healed
  • Raid stacked badly for grave/earthquake recovery
  • Tank deaths during murloc chaos
  • Players ignoring late-phase globules

Morogrim becomes much easier when the raid treats murlocs as the fight, not as background adds.

Back to boss list

Lady Vashj

Lady Vashj is the final boss of SSC and one of the major coordination checks in TBC. The fight has three phases: boss phase, shield/add/core phase, and final burn with increasing raid pressure.

What this fight tests: spread discipline, add control, communication, core passing, priority targeting, healer endurance, and final-phase composure.

Key mechanics:

  • Lady Vashj
  • Static Charge — affected player must move away from others.
  • Entangle — movement restriction that must be handled quickly.
  • Forked Lightning — raid damage pressure.
  • Phase 2 Shield Generators — disabled using Tainted Cores.
  • Tainted Elemental — drops Tainted Core.
  • Strider — must be kited and controlled.
  • Naga / Coilfang Elite — tanked and killed.
  • Spore Bats / poison clouds — final phase room control.

Phase 1: Boss Control

Strategy:

  • Tank Lady Vashj in the centre or assigned position.
  • Raid spreads around the platform.
  • If you get Static Charge, move away from other players immediately.
  • Do not drag Static Charge through the raid.
  • Handle Entangle quickly so players can move when needed.
  • Healers keep raid stable through Forked Lightning and random damage.
  • Push cleanly into Phase 2 without deaths.

Common Phase 1 mistakes:

  • Static Charge player stands in the raid
  • Raid stacked too tightly
  • Healers too clumped and unable to cover the platform
  • Players fail to react to Entangle

Phase 2: Shield Generators and Adds

Phase 2 is the fight. Vashj becomes shielded, and the raid must disable shield generators using Tainted Cores from Tainted Elementals while handling multiple add types.

Important Phase 2 enemies:

  • Tainted Elemental: must be killed quickly; drops Tainted Core.
  • Coilfang Elite / Naga: tank and kill.
  • Strider: kite/control and kill from range.
  • Regular Elementals: must not be allowed to reach Vashj.

Tainted Core rules:

  • Tainted Core is used to disable shield generators.
  • The player carrying the core cannot move normally.
  • The core must be passed between players toward the generator.
  • Players must communicate clearly when passing.
  • Do not panic with the core. Call your target and pass cleanly.

Strategy:

  • Assign platform sections before the pull.
  • Assign players to watch for Tainted Elemental spawns.
  • Kill Tainted Elementals immediately.
  • Pass Tainted Cores to assigned generator players.
  • Disable all shield generators one by one.
  • Tank Naga/Elites and kill them before they overwhelm the raid.
  • Kite Striders and keep them controlled.
  • Kill regular elementals before they reach Vashj.
  • Do not let the raid tunnel one add type while another wipes you.

Priority during Phase 2:

  1. Tainted Elemental / Tainted Core handling
  2. Elementals reaching Vashj
  3. Strider control
  4. Naga/Elite tanked adds
  5. General cleanup

Common Phase 2 mistakes:

  • No platform assignments
  • Tainted Elemental missed
  • Core holder does not know who to pass to
  • Strider runs loose through raid
  • Naga/Elite adds overwhelm tanks
  • Regular elementals reach Vashj
  • Too many players chase the wrong target

Phase 2 is not a parse phase. It is a job phase. Do your assigned job or the raid collapses.

Phase 3: Final Burn

Once the shield generators are disabled, Lady Vashj becomes attackable again. The raid now needs to finish the fight while dealing with increasing environmental pressure.

Strategy:

  • Tank Vashj securely again.
  • Raid spreads and avoids poison clouds.
  • Continue handling Static Charge correctly.
  • Do not stand in bad ground effects for extra damage uptime.
  • Healers prepare for increasing raid pressure.
  • Use cooldowns and Bloodlust/Heroism according to raid plan.
  • Finish cleanly without forgetting Phase 1 mechanics.

Common Phase 3 mistakes:

  • Raid stacks in poison clouds
  • Static Charge ignored during burn
  • Healers run out of mana after messy Phase 2
  • Tank repositioning is sloppy
  • DPS tunnel vision causes avoidable deaths

Vashj is a whole-raid responsibility fight. One strong player cannot carry bad core passing, missed Tainted Elementals, loose Striders, and bad Static Charge movement.

Back to boss list

9. Trash Packs That Actually Matter

SSC trash can be dangerous and time-consuming if handled poorly. Clean trash keeps the raid moving and protects morale during progression.

Good trash habits:

  • Let tanks pull.
  • Mark dangerous targets.
  • Use crowd control where useful.
  • Interrupt casters.
  • Do not AoE before tanks have control.
  • Watch patrols and pathing.
  • Keep healers in range before engaging.
  • Recover quickly after bad pulls instead of chain-wiping.

Common trash mistakes:

  • Body-pulling extra packs
  • DPS opening too early
  • Players standing too far away and delaying pulls
  • Healers drinking while tanks continue
  • Ignoring dangerous caster mobs
  • Raid loses focus between bosses

SSC trash can drain time fast. Slow, clean pulls are usually faster than “speed” pulls followed by deaths.

10. Common SSC Wipe Causes

Most SSC wipes are predictable. They usually come from missing assignments, not mysterious boss design.

Hydross wipe causes:

  • Resistance tanks not ready
  • Boss dragged over boundary accidentally
  • Adds not picked up
  • Mark stacks too high
  • DPS ignoring adds

Lurker wipe causes:

  • No fisher ready
  • Spout movement failed
  • Platform groups not assigned
  • Adds loose on healers

Leotheras wipe causes:

  • Melee chasing Whirlwind
  • Demon tank not ready
  • Inner Demons not killed
  • Threat reset mishandled

Karathress wipe causes:

  • No clear add tank assignments
  • DPS split between targets
  • Healers not assigned to all tanks
  • Dangerous casts not interrupted

Morogrim wipe causes:

  • Murlocs loose in raid
  • AoE starts too early
  • Watery Grave targets not healed
  • Late-phase globules ignored

Vashj wipe causes:

  • Static Charge ignored
  • Tainted Elemental missed
  • Tainted Core passing confused
  • Strider loose
  • Regular elementals reaching Vashj
  • Phase 3 poison/positioning ignored

Easy fixes:

  • Use Raid Planner to assign each boss role before raid.
  • Run Raid Check before invites.
  • Check resistance tanks before Hydross.
  • Confirm Lurker fisher before clearing platforms.
  • Assign Vashj platform teams before pulling.
  • Make every player repeat their Vashj Phase 2 job if needed.

SSC progression is not about yelling after wipes. It is about removing ambiguity before the pull.

Back to top

11. How EpicForge Helps

SSC is exactly the kind of raid where EpicForge can save time before the group zones in.

Use EpicForge before SSC to:

  • Look up each character before invites
  • Check missing gems and enchants
  • Review obvious gear gaps
  • Check tank readiness before assigning Hydross, Karathress, Morogrim, or Vashj roles
  • Compare characters if deciding between alts or fills
  • Use Raid Planner to build the 25-player roster
  • Use Raid Planner to assign Vashj platform teams
  • Use Raid Check to catch raid-wide prep issues
  • Track linked characters and alts that can support the raid
  • Share character links in Discord before raid night

Good EpicForge pre-raid workflow:

  1. Create or review the SSC roster in Raid Planner.
  2. Check Hydross Frost and Nature tanks first.
  3. Check Leotheras demon tank assignment.
  4. Check healer spread and assignments.
  5. Assign Lurker platform groups.
  6. Assign Karathress add tanks.
  7. Assign Morogrim murloc control.
  8. Assign Vashj platform teams and core pass routes.
  9. Run Raid Check before final invites.
  10. Fix easy issues before pulling Hydross.

EpicForge will not pass Tainted Cores for you, but it can help make sure the right players are geared, assigned, and ready before the fight starts.

12. Quick Summary

  • SSC is a 25-player raid in Coilfang Reservoir, Zangarmarsh.
  • It has six bosses and ends with Lady Vashj.
  • It drops Tier 5 Gloves, Legs, and Helm tokens.
  • Hydross requires Frost and Nature resistance tank planning.
  • Lurker requires fishing to summon and strong Spout awareness.
  • Leotheras requires demon tanking, Whirlwind discipline, and Inner Demon kills.
  • Karathress requires clean add tanking and kill order.
  • Morogrim requires murloc control and raid recovery.
  • Vashj requires platform teams, Tainted Elemental calls, core passing, add control, and final-phase discipline.
  • Use EpicForge Raid Planner and Raid Check before raid night, not after wipes start.

Why This Matters

Serpentshrine Cavern is a major step up from early TBC raids. It is not just more health and damage. It asks your raid to execute multiple different systems across one instance.

A prepared raid with clear assignments, finished gems and enchants, correct resistance gear, proper consumes, and calm communication will progress far faster than a stronger-looking raid that keeps improvising every pull.

Do the prep, assign the jobs, check the roster, and treat SSC as the raid where your team becomes organised or gets exposed.
