Heart of Enmity kneels down and grabs a nearby player, tosses them up then bats them with his axe. This attack rarely can also be used to attack other outlier players trying to heal, when he bats them the victim can be batted towards another person and collide with them which can end up killing them or the other. It is best advised to try blocking this attack instead of parrying/dodging as he will punish you for both, you need good posture + the Ardour murmur however.

Strategies[]
Offense/General[]
- It is recommended to fight the Heart of Enmity with only 5 people, as each extra player adds another 50 thousand health to the boss, and makes it difficult to not friendly fire.
- Fight the Heart of Enmity in teams of one or two, taking turns to engage the boss. Rest and switch out with teammates as needed to manage the battle effectively.
- Try not to hit allies with your offensive bells or high damage moves.
- Wearing the Grand Fisher Plate or ignition gauntlets or using the Ignition Deepdelver outfit is recommended, because it allows you to parry all of his non-parryable attacks.
Support[]
- Although not needed, bring a support build with either Linkstrider or Blindseer, as both oaths heal immense amounts of HP.
- It is also recommended to have vow of mastery on the slot, as although not necessary, most support builds possess one already and are also quite helpful.
Survivability[]
- Get the talent Mythic Stability, as it makes you ungrippable to auto-grip abilities, which is useful against the Heart of Enmity’s auto-grip attacks.
- Have one person bring a repair kit or two, as the boss does a lot of armor damage (note that campfires and Graceful Flames, even with Undying Flames, are unusable in the Depths Trial (alternatively you could just not be hit once)
- Bring Warrior's Respite to heal while not aggroing the boss.
- If you're struggling with blood levels you can use Bloodrend to obtain the Bloodorb mantra to heal blood using the blood pools during the fight.
- Alternatively, you can also get grand feast and use it to heal blood from the enforcers spawned or run the multiplicity armor enchant.
Resonances[]
- Corrupted Payback is amazing for damage and support. Make sure you get the beam variant of it and stay FAR away from teammates right before use to prevent friendly fire.
- Corrupted Sacred Field is also amazing for general survivability.
- Corrupted Run It Back is another amazing choice, as it heavily increases survivability and is great for killing enforcers with its hyperarmor.
