| Tender Fury | Tankbuster | Tank buster; use cooldowns |
| Succulent Stomp | Stack | Stack marker on random player; group together |
| Heavyweight Needles | AoE | Multiple conal AoEs with gaps; cones expand at cast end, so stand in widest gaps. Arena edge spines inflict Bleeding |
| Tender Drop | AoE | Cacti fall from sky; flowered/spiked cacti have large AoE, bare cacti have small AoE |
