Attack timeline

4 recorded actions for this boss, in data order. Values are stored base client parameters.

  1. 1 Frontal cone

    A cone attack in front of the boss, telegraphed for 0.9-2 s and repeated every 5-10 s where an interval is listed. The data does not give the cone's angle or range.

    Interval
    6 s
    Warning
    0.9 s

    How to handle: Use the warning to step through the boss's side or behind it; walking straight back keeps you in the cone longer. Re-enter after the telegraph resolves.

  2. 2 Charge

    In-game text“Herod squeals and charges!”

    The boss charges; the game announces it with "the boss squeals and charges!". The data shows a 7-11 s interval on the bosses that list one and no warning time.

    Interval
    8 s

    How to handle: Do not backpedal in a straight line: sidestep as the charge commits, then punish the recovery. The boss turning toward you is the cue.

  3. 3 Persistent hazard

    Persistent ground hazard

    A ground hazard that stays after its 1 s warning and is re-applied every 10-16 s. Unlike a one-shot circle, the marked ground remains dangerous after the telegraph ends.

    Interval
    12 s
    Warning
    1 s

    How to handle: Place the new hazard away from your current path, then fight around it instead of kiting through it. On a 10 s cycle the arena fills fast, so keep one side clear.

  4. 4 Summon

    Add wave

    In-game text“Minions, to me!”

    The boss calls in a wave of adds; the game announces it with "Minions, to me!" or "A pack hunts you!". The data records 4-14 adds on a 10-16 s cycle.

    Interval
    13 s

    How to handle: Clear the pack before the next summon lands; at 14 adds a single-target build falls behind. Keep moving so the new adds do not surround you while you finish the last wave.

Suggested build focus

Build tips recorded for this boss's attack types.

  • Melee builds should circle toward the flank during the warning; ranged builds can strafe out of the wedge. Inferred from game data — not yet verified in game
  • Save a dash for the commit; the charge is easier to dodge sideways than to outrun.
  • Ranged builds can keep a clean side of the arena; melee builds should move the boss before the next placement. Inferred from game data — not yet verified in game
  • Area damage pays for itself here: one clear per wave beats single-target cleanup.
