Zelina and Zolin Boss Guide: Blood Siphon, Healing and Target Priority

Both priests are alive at once and linked by a blood siphon. The link is the fight's identity: it refills a bar that looks dead, which is why players think it is a bug.

Manage the link deliberately. The facts (who siphons, when) are constant; your counter (which to pressure) is build-specific.

• Both alive, linked by siphon.
• The link refills a 'dead' bar — not a bug.
• Counter is build-specific target pressure.

One priest (the siphon source) drains life from the other, refilling the partner's health bar. This is shown by a visual link and a life-flow animation.

The link is interruptible by applying pressure to the source — you do not need a special skill. When both are low, burst the one currently receiving the siphon to close it out.

• Source drains life from partner.
• Visual link + life-flow animation.
• Pressure the source to interrupt; no special skill needed.

If your build out-damages the siphon, kill the healer first to stop the refill. If you cannot keep up, kill the damage dealer first so the remaining priest siphons a lower total.

The mechanic does not change between builds — only your suggested priority and reason change. Verify on the current patch which feels safer.

• Out-damage siphon -> kill healer first.
• Cannot keep up -> kill damage dealer first.
• Mechanic constant; priority build-specific.

Zelina is one of the Blood Priests. Depending on the current footage she is cast as the siphon source or the receiver; confirm on the current patch which role she holds.

Treat her as part of the linked pair — isolating pressure on her breaks the link regardless of her exact role.

• Blood Priest, linked to Zolin.
• Role (source/receiver) confirmed per patch.
• Pressure breaks the link.

Zolin is the other Blood Priest. Like Zelina, his exact siphon role is patch-dependent; the counter is the same — apply pressure to the source to interrupt the healing.

Focus fire that respects the link timing closes the fight faster than raw split damage.

• Blood Priest, linked to Zelina.
• Role (source/receiver) confirmed per patch.
• Focus the source to stop healing.

While linked, their attacks overlap: siphon pulses alongside direct damage, so you take chip while the bar refills. Burst windows must target the receiver to actually reduce effective HP.

When the link is interrupted, both become fragile — that is your kill window.

• Siphon pulse + direct damage overlap.
• Burst the receiver to reduce effective HP.
• Link break = kill window.
