Strategy
How to beat The Briar Regent
- Fight in the open, away from walls and props, so you always have room to leave the warning shape.
- Kite in wide circles: your skills keep firing while you move, the boss does not.
- Clear the regular horde around the boss first; the fight is the boss, not the crowd.
- Watch the phase marks on the boss health bar — each one is a moment to stay patient rather than greedy.
Skills that make this fight easier: Lightning, Phoenix, Frost Nova.
