Phase 1: Opening Moves

Key Attacks:

• Shockwave Attack: A long-range attack that follows a targeting laser.
  • How to Dodge: Stand still until the laser locks on, then dodge out of the way.
• Vomit Attack: Spreads poisonous pools on the ground.
  • Counter: Hide behind one of the three structures on the map to avoid taking damage.

Structure Durability:

• Each structure can take two hits before being destroyed.
• Pro Tip: Move away immediately after the vomit attack to prevent structures from being hit by the shockwave.

Phase 2: Summons and Ground Effects

New Mechanics:

• Summons: Boss will occasionally spawn small adds and gain a protective barrier.
  • Strategy: Focus on clearing adds while avoiding the boss.
• Melee Attack: After the barrier drops, the boss performs a powerful melee strike.
  • How to Dodge: Move away quickly once the barrier fades.
• Ground Patches: Appear periodically and explode after a few seconds.
  • Counter: Keep moving to avoid damage.

Structure Management:

• Ensure at least one structure is still standing by the end of Phase 2.

Phase 3: Endurance and Patience

Enhanced Mechanics:

• Frequent Protective Barriers: The boss is protected for about half of the phase.
  • Tip: Focus on killing adds during the barrier phase.
• Enhanced Vomit Attack:
  • Spreads instantly across the arena in all directions.
  • Strategy: Immediately move behind a remaining structure after the boss performs a melee attack.
• Pattern to Remember:
  • Protective Barrier → Melee Attack → Enhanced Vomit.
  • Pro Tip: Prepare to move as soon as the melee animation starts.

Survival Tips:

• Balance attacking the boss and killing adds.
• Prioritize staying alive over dealing continuous damage.
• Use ranged attacks during the barrier phase if available.
