Skyrim Battles - Thoron vs. Faralda & Savos, Ildari, Ebony Warrior, and more

I have finally been able to update my game to the Anniversary Edition, which means battles with the "new" NPCs (new for me) are now possible! I didn't update before because it would have broken some of my mods, plus I was generally afraid of messing something up and not being able to make my content in the same way anymore.
Most of the mods I use are successfully updated and fully functional; most importantly, the Floating Healthbars, TrueHUD, and a few other utilites such as More Informative Console. My own mods, like Charstaag (my fire version of Karstaag) have been designed to be standalone and version-independent, and I can confirm that they work just like before.
There are a few things that aren't working in AE, but they don't affect my videos a lot. I will probably be covering more NPCs from the Creation Club eventually, but I'll still keep making "normal" videos in between, just like before.

Because Thoron's boss mechanics are scripted and only work in a specific area and during his quest, but his usual tunnel is terrible for recordings, I came up with a different approach.
I recreated his boss mechanics in a custom script, giving him the abilities to teleport and summon his Saints and Seducers, like he normally would. My Thoron conjures the same NPCs as the original Thoron does (stronger versions of the Saints and Seducers than the player can summon), and the stages work under the same conditions. The teleport is a bit different to make it usable anywhere instead of just his tunnel.

However, I am not using this script for most of the rounds because Thoron is already overpowered, and also because I want the focus to be on him. I will use it for the really strong opponents like the Ebony Warrior though. This makes for a lot of different possible setups in the future.
The map is custom as well, made from the assets of his regular location.
Independently from his boss mechanics, I also addressed the vanilla bug of him and some other conjurers not being able to summon the potent version of a Storm Atronach.

Initially, round 3 was just going to include Savos, but it ended up being constant ward break stagger against him, leaving him stunlocked. I tried Faralda instead, but she has no way of defeating Thoron's atronach. As a last resort, I wanted to see what happens if I use both at once, and it turned out to be much better than expected. Savos and his Dremora Lord can kill the atronach, and Thoron won't be able to stunlock two opponents that easily. His chain lightning is still very effective though, even with Savos' 48% total shock resistance.
