Boss guides in campaign order

Each guide separates the attack you need to read, the action that creates a vulnerability window, and the safest time to spend Gadgets or a Showstopper.

The shared boss-fight loop

Most major encounters reward preparation more than constant fire. Ink an escape lane first, avoid the telegraphed attack, then use the encounter-specific object or Power Egg phase to create a safe damage window. Saving high-value abilities for that opening is usually more effective than spending them into a shielded or unreachable target.

What to change after a failed attempt

1. Identify whether the run ended during movement, crowd control, or the damage window.
2. Add recovery or mobility if the arena became difficult to cross.
3. Use a ranged weapon when the weak point spends long periods above or away from the player.
4. Preserve a Gadget or Showstopper for the next confirmed vulnerability window instead of using it on supporting enemies.
5. Return to another raid for equipment and levels if the fight is still consuming too many attempts.
