Boss Guide: Xenlon

Xenlon is a turn-pressure fight where the boss isn’t the enemy—the clock is. Its signature is that safe play can be losing play: too many defensive turns turn a survivable run into an automatic timeout. The clearest danger signal is when your plan becomes reactive healing every other turn; that usually means you’ve already lost the damage race. Two common failure chains: (1) play too safe → damage falls behind → late desperation → wipe, and (2) go all-in early → take a heavy swing while unprepared → recovery burns turns → timeout. Misconception to fix: this isn’t about perfect survival; it’s about controlled risk—stabilize only enough to keep attacking efficiently.
