Boss Attacks

Note that bosses do not turn when they make attacks. ey

only change facing during movement. is can lead to a boss’s

attack missing characters entirely depending on its range and the

characters’ positions.

A boss’s attacks are resolved similarly to those of other enemies,

but bosses have a unique and powerful icon unavailable to other

enemies: the Area icon.

Some boss attacks target a specic character or

node, but many of them target multiple nodes all at

once. e Area icon indicates a multi-node attack.

e arc diagram below the attack icon shows

which arcs are aected. All characters on a node

in one of those arcs within the range of the attack

are targeted by the attack, and each character must

separately roll Block, Resist, or Dodge.

Overview

Boss Activations

At the start of a boss’s activation, ip over its next behaviour

card and place it in a discard pile face up beside the behaviour

deck. Bosses follow the icons on their behaviour cards from left

to right as usual, but they have several icons (explained below)

that are not found on other enemies. As with some equipment

cards, some boss behaviour cards include the ever-dangerous

Repeat icon,

, which means the enemy will perform its entire

behaviour multiple times when resolving that behaviour card.

When the boss behaviour deck is empty at the start of a boss’s

activation, pick up the discard pile and turn it face down without

shuing it to create the boss behaviour deck. en combat

continues normally. e boss’s attack pattern will continue as it

was in previous activations; by watching this pattern carefully,

players can gain the edge they need to defeat the boss.

When a boss moves, it can move in a direction

without changing its facing. It simply shifts

forwards, backwards, left, or right. It does not

rotate when it does so, maintaining its arc

orientations.

e Turn icons allow a boss to turn in place.

Rotate the boss 90° to the left or right, according

to the icon shown.

e Rotate icon also allows the boss to turn in

place, making a full 180° turn.

e Leap icon allows a boss to move directly to

its target. Remove the boss from the tile and place

it on the node where its target is located. A leap’s

target can be the model with the Aggro token

or the nearest character

. ere is no limit to

how many nodes a boss can travel during a leap.

e boss does not change its facing when it leaps,

so keep all arc markings in the orientation they

had before the leap was resolved.

All leaps also have the Push icon

. During a

leap, characters can be pushed onto any adjacent

node. ey are not considered to be in any

particular arc as the boss comes crashing down on

their heads.

Boss Movement

When a boss moves towards a character, turn the boss so the

centre of its front arc faces an adjacent node that is closer to the

character. e boss then moves forward onto that node. When

moving away from a character, turn the boss so the centre of its

back arc faces an adjacent node that is farther from the character.

e boss then backs up onto that node without changing its

facing. When a boss moves towards a specic model on its own

node, the boss turns instead of moving to a new node. Turn the

boss so the centre of its front arc is facing that model.

Characters on the node with a boss do not move when the boss

is turned.

When a boss moves onto a node that contains a character, place

that character base-to-base with the boss at the centre of the

arc that was facing the character before the boss moved. e

character is then on the boss’s node and is still in that arc.
