Academy school
Mythic+ Academy
Keys, timers, mechanics, and the habits that make a dungeon group feel calm instead of chaotic.
Mythic+ is a timed dungeon system that scales endlessly upward. A keystone picks the dungeon and the level; the group's job is to finish inside the timer while the enemies hit harder and demand cleaner play.
This School teaches the system and the habits around it — what the timer actually punishes, why interrupts matter more than meters, and how each role carries the group. Route spreadsheets live elsewhere; judgement lives here.

Getting Started
What Mythic+ is before the first key ever goes in the pedestal.
- Keystones, levels, and how the timer works
- Deaths, depletion, and dungeon completion
- Score and rating as progress markers
- Basic group expectations — no speed-running required
Dungeon Fundamentals
The shared mechanics knowledge every key quietly assumes.
- Trash mechanics and priority targets

Routes & Planning
A route is a plan for which enemies the group fights. Learn the concept first; the tools come after.
- Enemy count and percentage requirements
- Why tanks plan pulls around group cooldowns
- Reading a published route before a key
Going Further
