- During Gun Mode, only a narrow 1×4 column is safe—watch blast indicators carefully
- Do not move during Wicked Bolt’s 5 hits or you’ll cause early explosions
- Shadow clones use the same mechanics as the boss—track all sources
- Winged Mode changes the attack axis from horizontal to vertical
- Coordinate party position during multi-blast mechanics
