Mewgenics Tormentor Boss Guide
Tormentor is the payoff to The Coven's candle puzzle. Every lit candle still active at summon time adds a rune effect, and the fight then revolves around surviving the inherited kit and escaping the charged instant-kill Feast cone.

- Treating candles as relevant after Tormentor has already absorbed their runes instead of spending actions on the boss and positioning.
Winning line
- Reduce the rune package before Tormentor spawns by breaking or extinguishing the most dangerous candles.
- Once Tormentor is active, stop spending turns on candles and focus on spacing, damage, and avoiding Feast.

Key triggers
Each lit Coven Candle still active when Tormentor is summoned grants a specific rune ability or stat bonus. Destroying or extinguishing candles after Tormentor appears does not remove absorbed rune effects. Feast is a charged cone attack that sucks in and instantly kills non-Kaiju units caught in the marked area.

Run killers
- Leaving all five candles active and entering the Tormentor phase with the full rune package.
- Treating candles as relevant after Tormentor has already absorbed their runes instead of spending actions on the boss and positioning.
- Failing to escape the charged Feast cone before it resolves.
Positioning rules
- Keep cats away from arena edges so a Feast cone does not remove every escape route.
- Spread around the 3x3 body so Trample and large attacks cannot collect the whole team.
- When Feast is charging, prioritize leaving the marked cone over every damage opportunity.
