Boss Mechanics

The Formation

The Seven-Stars Formation is a coordinated group: the Chief Disciple leads while disciples flank in patterns. Fighting the formation as a crowd is the trap — the fight is really about unmaking the structure, one star at a time, until the Chief Disciple stands alone.

Area Pressure and Executions

Two tools break formations: area-pressure weapon attacks for the flanks, and executions for anyone Guard-Broken — finisher invincibility is also crowd immunity, which matters when five people want to hit you at once.

Step-by-Step Strategy

Step-by-Step

Do not open on the Chief Disciple. Peel the formation: assassinate unaware flanks first if the arena allows, area-pressure the rest, and take every execution the formation offers. When only the Chief Disciple remains, the fight becomes a standard elite duel — parry blue, dodge red, switch-reset, execute.

This is the fight area-pressure Phantom Edges (the axe and hammer family) were built for. Swap your edges accordingly before the arena.
