Every damage number in the spell descriptions below already includes this increase – the same percentage the game shows when you slot the key at the Font of Power.

This is the number from the Font of Power. Tyrannical and Fortified are not included: from +10 both are always active — bosses then hit another 15 % harder, trash 20 %.

BossThe Writhing Coil

Quick read

Synchronized Venom is a 5 player Poison. Dispel this.
When you get the Uncoil rope on you, RUN AWAY.

healHealers beware of the consistent ticking damage Synchronized Venom does for most of the encounter.

dpskickToxic Atrophy is cast three times back-to-back, make sure to interrupt every cast.

moveVindictive Onslaught does a combo towards a random player, step out of the Burrowing Charge line attack and try to point the Venom Jet frontal away from your group before moving out of that as well.

tankhealTail Scythe targets the tank, though this is not particularly dangerous.

tankdpshealWhen Death Rattle is cast, all players should use movement abilities to snap their tethers as quickly as possible and stop the heavy AoE damage. This spawns 5 Uncoiled Writhes that fixate random players and mirror damage to the boss, so stack them up, use CCs to lock them down, and use damage cooldowns here.

dpskickmoveThree of the Uncoiled Writhes will cast Toxic Atrophy, so be ready to interrupt or use a CC to delay the cast if needed. After 25s they recoil in the centre of the room, forming Undermining shockwave lines that players should avoid.
