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
    1 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 Expanding rings

    Four or five rings expand outward after a 1.6-1.8 s warning, on an 11-16 s cycle. The data does not give the rings' speed, spacing, or maximum radius.

    Interval
    12 s
    Warning
    1.6 s

    How to handle: Keep moving outward and do not stop between rings; the warning is short and the rings keep coming. If a ring catches you, keep running rather than turning back into the next one.

  3. 3 Circle around the boss

    Boss-centered circle

    In-game text“Lava wells up around Stitches!”

    A hazard centred on the boss: the game warns "Lava wells up around the boss!" or "the boss pounds the ground!", then the marked area around it resolves. The data adds a 1.3 s warning and a 7-12 s cycle.

    Interval
    10 s
    Warning
    1.3 s

    How to handle: When the warning appears, step out of the area around the boss and wait for the hit before re-entering melee. A 7 s cycle leaves little time to finish a long cast.

  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
    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.

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
  • Sustained movement speed beats a single dash here; the rings reward staying in motion. Inferred from game data — not yet verified in game
  • Melee builds need a movement plan here; ranged builds can keep uptime from outside the circle.
  • Area damage pays for itself here: one clear per wave beats single-target cleanup.
