Boss: Boris

Boris is a physical powerhouse encountered in the Sewers. Unlike most bosses who wait for their turn, Boris reacts instantly to violence.

The Mechanic: "Pain Train"

• Passive Reaction: Whenever Boris takes damage from any source, he immediately moves 1 tile towards the attacker.
• Trample: If Boris moves into a space occupied by a cat, he deals massive physical damage and knocks them back.
• Wall Splat: If a cat is knocked into a wall, they take additional damage and are Stunned.

Strategy: The Matador

Boris effectively turns your own attacks against you.

1. Triangle Positioning: Never attack Boris if he is directly facing you in a straight line, unless you can survive the charge.
2. Bait & Switch: Have a tanky unit attack Boris to lure him away from your fragile casters.
3. Use the Environment: Trick Boris into charging into Toxic Sludge or traps.

Vulnerabilities

• DoT (Damage over Time): Status effects like Poison or Burning trigger his movement at the start of his turn, which can be predictable and used to reposition him.
• Stun: While stunned, Boris cannot react, allowing for free damage.
