Beastmaster GuideBoss: Lauda the Spellcleaver, Thanatos piece
Enemy pieces
Signature: Beastly Aura
Signature: Infernal Pain
Weaknesses come straight from the game data (they match the in-game board preview). The star ratings the preview shows for Strength / Intelligence / resistances aren't decoded yet, and attack patterns beyond the signature action aren't in the data at all — that's what the write-up below is for.
Strategy
Mechanics
Lauda Piece — boss.
Suggested trio: Adamantoise, Colibri, Geshunpest — tankiness and damage; paralysis resistance helps a lot.
Abilities
- Vanishing Daggers — four dagger sets fire in spawn order and turn invisible — memorise the order
- Point Maker — two dagger sets beside her; she and they fire baited lines — keep them off the statues
- Unseen Force — binds you, teleports in front or behind, throws a dagger: when the debuff ends you fly pocket-to-pocket — dagger in your front knocks you back, in your back knocks you forward
- Deadly Demesne — as Guttler, plus a variant where a ring of inward daggers closes on the cage
- Molten Metal — as Guttler
- Thunderbolt — as Guttler, but also gives her a stacking damage buff
- Greater Strength — two sword adds make her immune and stack magic damage; she spams raidwides while casting Guttler Glutter (knockback from centre) or Searing Axe (proximity from centre)
How to handle it
Guttler again with three differences: the Thunderbolt stacks, the extra Demesne, and Unseen Force. Combine Unseen Force with her Gluttonous attacks — for Gutting stay with her and gap-close behind after the knock; for Goring just ride it to the far cubby. Kill the Greater Strength swords fast and read whether to stay close (knockback) or go far (proximity).
The ring-dagger Demesne: find the two squares drawn in corners, stand on the opposite diagonal, drop Molten Metal there and leave once the AoEs resolve.
