Main idea

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.

Winning line

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.
