It means that if you can knock out the Paladin, everyone pretty much instantly has to  make a DC 20 Charisma save or be frightened. That should really mess them up.I think Magic Jar x2 (with Programmed Illusions to stand in for the Kry'i'zoths, so that they still draw Antimagic Fields and waste PC actions) + focus fire on the paladin + one guy who Shoves Vlaakith away from the grappler is definitely the most evil way to go here. Since Vlaakith is evil, that makes it the most Vlaakith way to go. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Does the paladin's Aura of Protection work inside the anti-magic field? It's important because it affects the monk's concentration saves and/or the concentration saves of whoever tries to AMF the cleric. (I assume nobody will be grappling the Kry'i'zoth, only Vlaakith, because the PCs are already short enough on action economy as it is.)Watch out for that Horn of Valhalla--that can be a lifesaver for a party. If necessary, have the dragons breath fire on everything in the room to kill off the berserkers, even if that means that Kry'i'zoths need to burn a Legendary Resistance on minimizing the fire damage--it's more important to reduce that swarm of berserkers. (And hopefully the Kry'i'zoths will be wearing the Arcane Trickster's and the Champion Fighter's bodies anyway.)BTW, why True Polymorph for Vlaakith and not Shapechange? Shapechange is more versatile in case you e.g. want to switch breath weapons. Is it because True Polymorph has no "you can't use any legendary or lair actions" clause? If so, note that the 6th printing of the MM applies that clause globally to all shape-changing. See <a href="http://dnd.wizards.com/sites/default/files/media/MM-Errata.pdf" target="_blank">http://dnd.wizards.com/sites/default/files/media/MM-Errata.pdf</a> page 11. So, you might as well use Shapechange.</blockquote>
