Key Mechanics
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bloody Scratch | Raidwide | Party-wide magical damage |
| Biscuit Maker | Tankbuster | Tank buster requiring cooldowns |
| Clawful | Stack | Stack marker requiring grouped positioning |
| One-two Paw | Cleave | Black Cat cleaves left and right sides in order her claws glow; watch which glows first |

Advanced Mechanics
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Elevate and Eviscerate | Knockback | Throws targeted player back; position to land on uncracked tiles |
| Predaceous Pounce | AoE | Boss dashes with line and circle AoEs; safe spots exist on arena edges |
| Grimalkin Gale | Spread | Spread to avoid clipping each other |

Tile Mechanic
The central mechanic involves the grid floor:
- Tiles hit once = Cracked but safe to stand on
- Tiles hit twice = Break and become dangerous
- Position carefully to preserve tiles for later mechanics
- During Mouser = Watch which tiles are being targeted and plan positioning
Tips
- Watch both claws during One-two Paw—the glow order determines cleave order
- During Black Cat Crossing, stand in the second conal safe spot and move into the first after it resolves
- Preserve uncracked tiles for knockback mechanics
- Coordinate stack and spread positions to avoid breaking critical tiles
