Attack timeline

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

  1. 1 Projectile volley

    In-game text“Princess Huhuran hurls axes across the field!”

    The boss throws a volley across the field; the game warns "the boss hurls axes across the field!". The data records 5-9 projectiles every 4.5-6 s.

    Interval
    5 s

    How to handle: Strafe between the gaps instead of backing away, and change direction only after a projectile passes. With a 4.5 s cycle there is no safe standing window.

  2. 2 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
    7 s
    Warning
    1.4 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.

    Inferred from game data — not yet verified in game

  3. 3 Delayed blast

    A marked blast that detonates after a 1-3.4 s warning, on a 6-16 s cycle where an interval is listed. The data does not record the blast radius, so the edge is not a safe place to stand.

    Interval
    10 s
    Warning
    2.5 s

    How to handle: Leave the marked area as soon as the warning appears and keep walking until it detonates. Do not stop at the border: without a recorded radius, assume the whole mark is hot.

  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
    12 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.

Phase changes

  1. Below 30% health · one trigger

    • Scattered circles

      Several ground circles land at once; the game warns "the boss calls down meteors!". The data records 3-8 circles, a 1.4-2.8 s warning and a 7-13 s cycle.

      How to handle: Find the largest gap before the warning ends and commit to it; do not weave between circles at the last moment. With eight circles, move early rather than react.

How to fight it

Up to three actions, taken from the timing data: shortest warning, shortest interval, then the first new phase action.

  1. 1
    Shortest warning (1.4 s) Frontal cone

    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.

    Inferred from game data — not yet verified in game
  2. 2
    Most frequent (every 5 s) Projectile volley

    Strafe between the gaps instead of backing away, and change direction only after a projectile passes. With a 4.5 s cycle there is no safe standing window.

  3. 3
    At 30% health Scattered circles

    Find the largest gap before the warning ends and commit to it; do not weave between circles at the last moment. With eight circles, move early rather than react.

Suggested build focus

Build tips recorded for this boss's attack types.

  • A movement-speed item or dash makes the gap between volleys much safer.
  • 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
  • A movement ability is more reliable than last-second sidesteps, especially on the 1 s warnings. Inferred from game data — not yet verified in game
  • Area damage pays for itself here: one clear per wave beats single-target cleanup.
