How To Beat Friday

Friday, the Pile Driver, is a unique boss with specific traits:

  • Faction: Special | Type: Machine | Weakness: Electric | Resistance: Physical

The fight unfolds in two phases:

  1. Chase Phase: Friday moves slowly, trying to escape. Focus on pursuit while dodging its heavy downward attacks. Damage is low here—like trying to catch smoke with bare hands. Once it reaches the corridor end, it springs into the arena.

  2. Arena Phase: Friday attacks more aggressively but moves slowly. Key tactics:

  3. Watch for Perfect Dodges and Assists: Essential for survival.

  4. Exploit Recharge Times: Deal maximum damage when it pauses.

  5. Avoid the Spin Attack: Dodge away when Friday spins its legs—this is its deadliest move, akin to a whirlwind of blades. 🌪️
