Enemies & Bosses

Cycles between asleep and awakened. The sleep phase is your free setup window.

Alternates Dive and Peck — steady mid damage that pressures your HP.

Caps the damage it takes per hit — hard-counters single-big-hit decks like Sovereign Blade.

One of the beefiest Act 1 elites — tests your deck's staying power.

A 200-HP Act 2 gatekeeper that checks whether your build came online.

Summons bees all fight — the board keeps growing.

Opens with 9 stacks of Slippery — every hit deals only 1 damage. Fixed 4-turn loop: turn 3 is a 25+ killer swing, turn 4 self-buffs and is your window.

A priest plus two acolytes: acolytes hit hard and scale Strength while the priest debuffs from the backline.

Gains +2 Strength every turn — a pure DPS race. Below 150 HP it staggers, then applies Ringing: you may only play 1 card per turn.

Stuffs Beckon statuses into your deck (1-cost, take 6 unblockable if unplayed). Gains Intangible on turns 4–5.

A twist on the classic: it starts asleep and gets worse the longer the fight drags on.

A Sandpit death timer starts at 4 — at zero you lose, period. Each Frantic Escape card added to your deck buys one more turn.

Cycles door → creature phases (three-phase rotation since v0.101). The door respawns at full HP with Strength carrying over. Poison persists across phases.

A 600-HP marathon: P1 punishes skills with +2 Strength; P2 shoves Wounds for unblocked damage; P3 alternates Intangible. DoTs reset between phases.

A fixed 3-turn loop: 12-damage ram, a 6-damage swipe with Block, then a Hiss for +2 Strength. Pairs stagger their loops.

Opens with 4×2 claws, then alternates a 14-damage Tear with more claws; roars once for 3 Vulnerable.

Carries 3 stacks of Suck — every unblocked hit grants it +3 Strength. Opens with a 12-damage bite.

Turn 1 rams for 10 and shoves 2 Wounds into your deck; turn 2 Haunts with 2 Weak/Vulnerable/Frail but no damage.

Bites for 13, then burrows for +32 Block that never decays and strikes from below for 23 each turn. Breaking all its Block stuns it for a turn.

Spawns 3 tough eggs that hatch into larvae within 1-2 turns, then loops a 16-damage slam and a Softening strike that applies 2 Vulnerable.

15 Plating. Cycles a 13-damage tongue lash with Frail, a 21-damage smite and a +5 Strength war cry; below half HP it unleashes a one-time 35-damage beetle charge.

A fixed 4-turn loop: Scrutiny 16, a 4×6 peck, a defensive Ascend, then Verdict for 33 damage plus 4 Vulnerable.

Alternates Infect (3 Infection statuses into your discard pile) and Lash 4×4. On death it triggers Infested: 4 Wrigglers spawn, stunned on their first turn — the fight ends only when all of them die.

Four gardeners with Skittish 6 — the first hit each turn grants them Block, punishing multi-hit decks. They share a Bite → Lash → Flail → Enlarge loop at staggered phases.

Three segments acting independently. When a segment dies while others live, it Reattaches at 25 HP — so AoE is a trap. (Per-segment HP per patch notes; the wiki infobox still shows 42-48.)

Aura Dampen: while it lives, all your cards are Downgraded. Cycles into a 35-damage Magic Bomb. One of the three-strong Knight Gang.

Aura Hex: while it lives, every card in your hand becomes Ethereal (unplayed cards are discarded at turn end). Alternates Soul Slash 15 and Soul Flame 3×3.

Opens with a 15-damage Ram, then cycles Breaker (+3 Strength), Flail 9×2 and more Rams. The tankiest of the Knight Gang.

3 Artifact plus a fixed 4-turn loop: Charge 25 → Flamethrower (4 Burns into your hand) → Windup (+5 Strength, +15 Block) → Heavy Cleave 35. Widely considered the deadliest elite. (Single-source community data — verify in-game.)

Always opens with Soul Burn 29, then cycles Soul Burn, Maelstrom 6×4 and Drain Life (18 damage plus 2 Vulnerable and 2 Weak), never repeating back-to-back.

Almost every action adds 3 Steam Eruption stacks. At 0 HP it turns invulnerable and clears all debuffs, then self-destructs next turn for damage equal to its stacks — unless killed at 0 stacks (e.g. by a Doom execute). A pure DPS race.

You are Surrounded: hits from the claw you face away from deal +50%. When one claw dies, the other gains Strength and +99 Block (patch notes say 6 Strength, the infobox still says 5 — value uncertain). The Rocket claw's 31-damage Laser is the lethal move.

Chains of Binding Bound the first cards you draw each turn — only one Bound card playable per turn, but mid-turn draw (Acrobatics, Offering) is unrestricted. Turn 2 slams 99 Weak + Vulnerable + Frail; once her Torch Head Amalgam dies she Enrages into an Execution loop. (HP from a single community source — uncertain.)
