The latest season of Dragonflight introduced major changes to the way Mythic+ dungeons scale, and that system carries over into The War Within. WoW's upcoming expansion will also introduce new affixes and combine others, so your Mythic+ runs in The War Within are going to feel very different.

WoW: The War Within treats Mythic+ affixes very differently. Gone are Bolstering and Sanguine, in place of a new system of rotating affixes that combine or change as you reach higher Keystone levels (via Blizzard). This season’s affixes aren’t as interesting or unique as previous seasons, however. At higher levels, raw stat buffs to enemy health and damage present the biggest challenge.
As usual, Season One features eight Mythic+ dungeons: four new dungeons and four old ones. Check out our guide to Season One's Mythic+ rotation to see which ones are appearing, or every dungeon in The War Within for the full selection.
Ascendant is one of two new Xal'atath's Bargain Mythic+ affixes rotating weekly. It spawns at level two Keystones and above. Roughly once per minute, Xal'atath summons 10 Orbs that absorb damage and buff mobs with Haste and movement speed, but you gain the buff if you interrupt or crowd control them.
