Best short answer

Play worst-case: assume a frontal instant-kill; probe from the sides.

Biggest mistakes

•Standing in front of the ‘mouth lane’ if the bite exists: instant death ends runs.
•Clumping near a 3x3 boss: random projectiles/roar-style AOE punishes tight formation.
•Letting it act twice in a round (bonus turn) without mitigation.

How you actually win

•You never present a clean frontal target if bite is real (treat front arc as lethal).
•You keep spread and chip safely from angles that allow retreat.
•You save defensives for bonus-turn sequences.

Win conditions

•You keep spread and chip safely from angles that allow retreat.
•You save defensives for bonus-turn sequences.

Positioning rules

•Avoid the tile directly in front of the boss unless you can guarantee it can’t bite.
•Keep 2+ tiles spacing; don’t allow 3x3 AOE to hit multiple units.
•Maintain escape routes; don’t get pinned against edges.

Tempo plan

Opener (rounds 1–2)

•Play worst-case: assume a frontal instant-kill; probe from the sides.

Midfight (stabilize)

•Stabilize spacing and punish after it commits to a direction.

Finisher (close safely)

•Commit burst only when you can deny its most lethal pattern for a full cycle.
