Attack Patterns

💀
Bone Throw
MEDIUM THREAT

Pattern: Throws 3-5 bone projectiles in straight lines toward player position

Damage: 150-200 per bone

Frequency: Every 3-4 seconds

Counter: Side-step or move perpendicular to avoid projectiles. Bones travel slowly and are easy to dodge.

💀
Summon Skeletons
HIGH THREAT

Pattern: Spawns 6-8 skeleton minions around the battlefield

Minion Health: 200 HP each

Frequency: Every 12-15 seconds

Counter: Clear minions immediately with AOE weapons. Don't let them accumulate!

⚠️ Priority Target Warning

Always kill skeleton minions first! They will overwhelm you if ignored. The Skeleton King is much easier to handle alone.

💥
Ground Slam
HIGH THREAT

Pattern: Large AOE attack around the boss (5-unit radius)

Damage: 300-400 (can one-shot early builds)

Frequency: When player gets too close (within 3 units)

Counter: Maintain medium range. Never fight melee unless you have high armor.

Battle Strategy

🎯 Positioning Strategy

  • Stay at medium range (4-6 units away)
  • Keep moving in wide circles
  • Use terrain to break line of sight
  • Never let boss corner you against walls
  • Create space when minions spawn

🎭 Priority Targeting

  • Skeleton minions are priority #1
  • Use AOE weapons to clear groups
  • Focus boss only when alone
  • Don't chase fleeing minions
  • Position to hit multiple targets

⚔️ Damage Strategy

  • Consistent DPS beats burst damage
  • Piercing weapons are excellent
  • AOE effects handle minions
  • Don't waste cooldowns on minions
  • Save best attacks for boss phases

Phase Guide

1
Opening Phase (100-75% HP)

Boss focuses on bone throw attacks. Stay mobile and learn the attack timing. Minion spawns are less frequent. Good time to establish positioning and rhythm.

2
Minion Chaos (75-40% HP)

Frequent minion spawns with overlapping summon cycles. This is the most dangerous phase. Focus entirely on minion control. Boss becomes secondary target.

3
Desperate Measures (40-0% HP)

Faster attack speed and more aggressive positioning. Ground slam range increases slightly. Maintain distance and stay patient - victory is close!

Recommended Builds

💡 Pro Tips & Advanced Strategies

🎯
Minion Positioning: Lure minions into tight groups before using AOE attacks for maximum efficiency.
Timing Windows: Attack boss immediately after clearing minions - you have 8-10 seconds before next spawn.
🛡️
Defensive Items: Consider +20% Health and armor items if you're struggling. Survivability beats raw damage here.
🔄
Movement Pattern: Large clockwise circles work best. Counterclockwise if you prefer, but stay consistent.
💎
XP Management: Don't chase XP gems during active combat. Collect them between minion waves for safety.
