Mythic Ula'tek
Mythic Ula'tek is a huge step up from Heroic difficulty due to major changes to the encounter in all phases. The biggest change is that all eggs spawn protected by a shield that must be broken to pick them up. In addition, while holding an egg, players who bump into each other will cause their eggs to hatch, likely causing a wipe.
Ula'tek
The great shame of the Amani empire. The vast complex of Altal'Utek was created to imprison the weapon that proved to be as much of a threat as the enemy she was intended to destroy. Ula'tek has risen from her ancient slumber and threatens all of Azeroth if she should escape.
Overview: Ula'tek splashes venom across her platform with [Caustic Waves]. Any Blightscale Spawn that touch her venom hatches and covers players in a [Putrid Membrane]. While her slithering children continue to spawn, Ula'tek uses her [Spectral Coils] to shatter the space.
After Ula'tek rails against her prison with [Rage of the Shackled] she summons her faithful then dives beneath the venom to gather her strength. Ula'tek's Doomscale Wardens move between the Blightscale Spawn imbuing them with [Writhing Gestation] as the Doomscale Eggs begin to hatch.
With her progeny broken, Ula'tek shatters the arena. She continues to use [Call of the Serpent] to gather her forces while destroying the only safe spaces remaining with [Circling Prey].

Phase 1
The biggest change for Phase 1 is the large Blightscale Wretch add, which spawns in the center of the arena. This has a 20-second incubation timer, and shortly after it hatches, it casts a large AoE Fester Burst that deals damage to all players and leaves a DoT on any players who are not standing under the mob. However, guilds have currently found it easier to kill the add before this cast and are focusing it, as stacking under the mob with many eggs can be difficult. It's unclear whether guilds can continue focusing this add to beat the enrage of the encounter, but for now, they likely just want to see further progression.
Phase 2
The largest change in Phase 2 is that there are 4 Doomscale Eggs, instead of 2 on Heroic. A second corridor opens on both sides of the arena, with extra small eggs and a Doomscale Egg on each side. All small eggs in this phase also have the shield that needs to be broken to pick them up. Raid groups still only have 90 seconds to pick up all the Doomscale Eggs, so there's a very limited amount of time to get everything done. Mages and Alter Time are very good at picking up the Doomscale Eggs and getting them to the Cauldron in time.
The other complication in the phase is the Grasping Fangs tether breaks. When Grasping Fangs is cast, the raid is affected by 6 tethers, 3 on each side. When a tether is snapped, it applies a stack of Blight Vein to the entire raid, dealing around 290k unmitigated damage every tick, per stack. Guilds are using the new Versatility potion, Liquid Luster, which was buffed before Season 1, for damage reduction. At the time of writing, Echo is using a strategy of a 5-stack of Tether breaks, dealing over 1.4 million unmitigated damage per tick, while Liquid is using a 4-stack strategy. It's interesting to see Potions being used for something other than damage, but only time will tell if Potions will continue to be used here.
After throwing all the eggs into the Cauldrons, the Weakened Doomscale adds need to die at the same time. With how tight the DPS check is in this phase right now, the adds are still up going into the second DPS burn on the Heart.
Phase 3
So far, no guild is below 70% on the boss, and Echo has briefly seen the start of Phase 3! Instead of the immobile eggs from Normal and Heroic, Mythic features Slithering Clutch adds that slowly slither towards the Venom in an attempt to hatch themselves. Since these adds are mobile, they can be Death Gripped, which means that the DK Raid Buff has potential on this end boss.
We'll need to see more of Phase 3 before it's clear how this Phase will play out. Echo is currently leading the race, but with Liquid right behind in terms of boss health, it's still anyone's game in terms of who can optimize damage the best to pull ahead for the win.
