Boss Guide: Fire Spirit

Fire Spirit is a resistance + cadence boss: the fight is decided by whether you can normalize incoming pressure, not by clever routing. Its signature is that a “quiet” turn can still be lethal if you enter it low—one big swing can erase progress immediately. The clearest danger signal is when multiple party members dip at once; if you answer with offense, the next pressure turn often closes the run. Most wipes happen in two chains: (1) no early mitigation → first big wave drops two → healer can’t recover, and (2) you stabilize once, then greed damage on low HP → next pressure turn deletes the squishies. Misconception to fix: you don’t win by ending it faster; you win by making pressure turns boring—mitigation first, damage after the loop is stable.
