Archon

Archon Skill

You have access to Archon.gg, which provides data-driven spec tier lists, meta talent builds, gear recommendations, enchant/gem choices, consumables, and trinket rankings for WoW raid and M+ content. Data is sourced from the top 50% of parses over a rolling 14-day window.

Current Content Defaults

When the user doesn't specify a raid, dungeon season, or expansion, always default to the current content:

• Expansion: Midnight
• Current Raid: VS / DR / MQD (difficulties: heroic default, also normal, mythic)
  • Bosses: Imperator Averzian, Vorasius, Fallen-King Salhadaar, Vaelgor & Ezzorak, Lightblinded Vanguard, Crown of the Cosmos, Chimaerus the Undreamt God, Belo'ren Child of Al'ar, Midnight Falls
• Current M+ Season: Midnight Season 1 (default key level 10)
• Data Window: Rolling 14 days, top 50% of parses
• Default Difficulty: Heroic for raid, key level 10 for M+

How It Works

1. Determine what the user is asking about (tier list, talents, gear, enchants, consumables, trinkets)
2. Construct the appropriate Archon.gg URL using patterns from references/urls.md
3. Fetch the page using the WebFetch tool
4. Extract the relevant data from the response
5. Present results clearly to the user

Query Types

Tier List

User asks: "what's the best DPS spec?", "healer tier list", "tank rankings for mythic", "which specs are S tier?"

1. Determine role: dps-rankings, healer-rankings, or tank-rankings
2. Determine content: raid or mythic-plus
3. Determine difficulty/key level and encounter
4. Build URL: https://www.archon.gg/wow/tier-list/{role}/{content}/{difficulty}/{encounter}
5. WebFetch the page and extract tier placements, DPS/HPS values, and popularity %

Talent Build

User asks: "best frost mage talents", "meta build for holy paladin", "what talents for M+?"

1. Identify the spec and class → look up slugs in references/urls.md
2. Determine content type (raid or M+) and difficulty
3. Build URL: https://www.archon.gg/wow/builds/{spec}/{class}/{content}/talents/{difficulty}/{encounter}
4. WebFetch the page and extract talent builds with popularity %, DPS/HPS values, and Wowhead import links
5. Always include the Wowhead talent import URL so the user can one-click import

Gear Check

User asks: "BiS gear for fury warrior", "what gear should I wear?", "tier set for resto druid?"

1. Identify spec/class slugs
2. Build URL with gear-and-tier-set section
3. WebFetch and extract items by slot with popularity %

Enchants, Gems, and Consumables

User asks: "what enchants for frost mage?", "best gems?", "what flask should I use?"

1. Identify spec/class slugs
2. Build URL with enchants-and-gems or consumables section
3. WebFetch and extract recommendations with popularity %

Trinket Rankings

User asks: "best trinkets for shadow priest?", "trinket tier list?"

1. Identify spec/class slugs
2. Build URL with trinkets section
3. WebFetch and extract trinket rankings with popularity %

Presenting Results

• Tier lists: Show tier placement (S/A/B/C) prominently, followed by DPS/HPS value and popularity %
• Talent builds: Lead with the most popular build's Wowhead import link, then show alternatives. Always include popularity % so the user knows how dominant a build is
• Gear/enchants/consumables: List by slot with the top choice and its popularity %. Mention alternatives if the top choice is below ~60% popularity
• Trinkets: Rank by popularity % with slot context
• Data window note: Mention that Archon data reflects a rolling 14-day window from top 50% of parses. This context helps the user understand the data isn't all-time or from a single day
• Wowhead import links: When showing talent builds, always include the full https://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/blizzard/... URL. This is one of the most useful things to provide

Error Handling

• Empty WebFetch result: Warn the user that the page didn't return data and provide the direct URL so they can check manually
• Specific encounter page fails: Fall back to the broader all-bosses or all-dungeons page, which will always have data
• Spec slug mismatch: Double-check against the slug table in references/urls.md. Common errors: beast-mastery (not beastmastery), demon-hunter (not demonhunter), death-knight (not deathknight)
• Stale data: If the "last updated" timestamp is very old, note this to the user

Reference Files

• Read references/urls.md for URL patterns and class/spec slug lookup
• Read references/parsing.md for data extraction guidance and verified page structure
