Attack timeline

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

  1. 1 Action sequence

    A scripted combo: the boss performs two or three actions, with each follow-up landing a fixed gap (0.1-1.8 s) after the previous one. The parent entry is a container; the child steps carry the actions.

    Interval
    10 s
    Gap between steps
    1.7 s

    How to handle: Watch the first action, not the parent timer: the follow-up arrives 0.1-1.8 s later, so pre-move during the first cast. Short gaps under 0.5 s leave no room to react twice.

    Inferred from game data — not yet verified in game
    1. 1
      Charge

      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.

      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.

    2. 2
      Charge

      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.

      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.

  2. 2 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
    11 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.

  3. 3 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
    14 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.

How to fight it

  1. 1
    Shortest warning (1 s) Persistent hazard

  2. 2
    Most frequent (every 10 s) Action sequence

    Watch the first action, not the parent timer: the follow-up arrives 0.1-1.8 s later, so pre-move during the first cast. Short gaps under 0.5 s leave no room to react twice.

Suggested build focus

Build tips recorded for this boss's attack types.

  • Instant movement is worth more than a long defensive cooldown here; the combo punishes standing still between steps. 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.
