Zodiac

Chapter 1 Desert boss. A celestial entity whose attacks shift with the stars.

Boss: Zodiac

Zodiac is the mystical guardian of the Desert. This fight tests your adaptability, as the boss changes its attack pattern every few turns based on the astrological sign.

The Mechanic: "Star Signs"

Zodiac cycles through three primary phases:

  1. Aries (The Ram): Aggressive melee dashes. Similar to a smaller Boris.
  2. Sagittarius (The Archer): Long-range sniping. Targets the furthest cat.
  3. Cancer (The Crab): High defense, reflects damage back to attackers.

Passive: Movement Detection

  • Overwatch: If any unit moves within Zodiac's line of sight, it takes a potshot.
  • Counter: Use Teleport skills or cover to break line of sight before moving.

Strategy

  • Phase Management: Check the icon above Zodiac's head. Do NOT attack during Cancer phase unless you can pierce shields.
  • Cover Usage: The Desert has sparse cover. Use Toss or Create Obstacle (Druid) to make your own safety zones.
  • Mage: Can attack from behind cover without triggering Overwatch.
  • Tank: Essential for tanking the Ram phase.
