Summary

A 252-HP Act 1 wall that buffs itself and punishes slow openers. Skips fights where you can't apply pressure on turn 1 are rare — bring damage, not durability.

Counter Tips

  • Open with Vulnerable (Bash / Sucker Punch) — its high HP makes %-modifier debuffs the highest-value play
  • Don't bank block for the wind-up turns; spend energy on damage and accept some chip damage
  • If you have AoE attacks, save them for when the beast applies vulnerable/buff to itself — don't waste them on filler turns
