Highlights
- Getting too close to Boris results in heavy damage, so maintaining distance is the key
- A good team strategy where your team members are equally dispersed in the area is important
- In each round, Boris uses an extremely strong attack against opponents who come in line with him
Boris is a tough boss in Mewgenics that will put your skill of using positioning to the test rather than just relying on damage. With an insane amount of life and an aggressive movement pattern he can kill you quickly if you aren’t careful. This article outlines an effective and controlling method of getting to the end of the fight while avoiding high-risks against the boss.
Why Boris Is Dangerous
Boris relies neither on flashy moves nor flashy combos in order to win, he is extraordinarily durable, doing damage through constant action as well as punishing players with careless attacks. Usually, players lose because they get too close or hit Boris at the wrong time, treating Boris like he is a stationary boss is the most common reason for failure to defeat him.
Best Team Setup for the Fight
For this scenario, a well-rounded team will provide the best results. Recommended configurations include:
- Frontline unit to absorb damage
- Ranged damage dealer to control spacing
- One support to recover from mistakes
A ranged unit like the Hunter is fantastic in this situation due to their ability to hit Boris from afar while remaining outside of his melee range. Having a focus on healing as well will greatly reduce the chance of accidental snowballing damage which tends to happen with this fight.
You may be successful without having any dedicated healers, but the margin for error becomes extremely small.
Core Mechanic You Must Understand
Each hit Boris takes forces him forward one tile toward where his attacker is; this aspect of Boris affects all interactions with him directly based on this rule.
Therefore, should a close-range attacker (with another unit nearby) attack him, he will crash into that unit immediately. When attacking from long-range, such a position leaves behind him a clear path for movement, he is easier to move out of position and manipulate.
Always consider the way in which you are attacking Boris affects his movement, and not simply the amount of damage you can cause him.
Positioning Strategy That Wins the Fight
Instead of trying to gather your team near Boris, try to keep your team dispersed all over the area. Have all but one of the units attempt to range attack the enemy while rotating positions with each attack.
Because the arena is so small, Boris will always be able to pursue the last player to attack him. This means you can use his method of chasing an opponent to lead him away from your vulnerable teammates so that you can reposition yourself into formation before his next turn. Never finish your turn directly beside Boris unless you are prepared to take damage.
In a single round, Boris has access to an extremely strong charge, dealing severe damage to anything located along its path. This is the strongest attack that Boris has, however, it is also the easiest to predict.
The attack can be easily avoided if you don’t have any units left standing directly in a line with him, and you reposition to a different location before the end of the round. The majority of deaths from this attack are due to players forgetting about it and leaving a unit exposed at the end of their actions.
