The script model
Every boss cycles a rhythm: opener, harassment, burst, reset. Your job is to mark timestamps where you get free hits and to identify attacks that you never contest. With just these two notes, most fights become predictable—and predictability is safety.
Safe windows
Look after displacement moves or slow recoveries. Dash through the hip, flip the camera, and secure back‑hits. Avoid corners; kite in shallow arcs to keep exits open.
Greed checks
Some animations invite trades—but only if your burst is aligned. If your cooldowns are desynced, abort and reset. Discipline beats hero moments.
Building team language
Simple calls delete bosses: “spin soon—save dodge,” “slam in 3—bait jump,” “stagger next—commit burst.” Agree on these terms before pulls and repeat them during fights. Shared language is a force multiplier.
