| Ground Stomp | Every fourth attack, the Deer slams its hind legs into the earth with bone-shattering Physical Damage, creating a wide cone that knocks back all players who generated threat. Players struck by Ground Stomp are afflicted with a deep bleed that deals periodic Physical Damage and causes their next attack to land as a critical strike. |  |
| Charge | Fueled by raw Physical Damage, the Deer barrels forward immediately after Ground Stomp, ramming the highest-threat player and summoning a Dendroid for each foe struck. |  |
| Call of the Wild | Channels to call additional Dendroids — one per player hit by Charge (including totems/clones) and also summons nearby camps if they’re close enough. |  |
Tactics
- Tanks should track every fourth swing and be ready to reposition the boss before the Ground Stomp.
- All players must move away after the third hit to avoid the incoming Stomp - use movement abilities if necessary.
- Melee DPS: stay behind the boss to dodge the Stomp but stay alert to sidestep the Charge.
- Healers and ranged: avoid clustering in front - bait the boss’s Charge by briefly approaching then stepping out of its path.
- After Ground Stomp, the Charge is instant - sidestep left or right to avoid being hit.
- Charge targets the top-threat player within 8 meters, or the next-highest if that player is out of range.
- Players hit by Charge trigger Call of the Wild, so minimizing hits reduces additional adds.
