Season 12 Overview
Now named the Bloody Butcher, the newest Lair boss will start out as a Season 12 exclusive, but will become standard for both future Seasons and the Eternal realms later. As is tradition, this new endgame grind will be the best way for players to farm the new Uniques added in Season 12, but additionally, Uniques also have a higher chance to be Bloodied - meaning for the best chances at power, players will be getting up close and personal with this old "friend."
It's likely that the Bloody Butcher will be a powerful Lair boss, high on the ladder - at least, at first. Given it's his debut Season, it would make sense for the Butcher to be on par with Duriel, Andariel, and the Harbinger of Hatred, but for lore reasons it's unlikely that this will be his permanent ladder home. Currently, we don't know the approximate difficulty of this fight, so we'll just have to wait and see.
